Critics Consensus

Big Ass Spider! delivers on the promise of its outlandish title with a tongue-in-cheek creature feature that embraces its B-movie silliness with utterly entertaining results.

Many worse ways to spend 80 minutes can easily be imagined.

With a movie called "Big Ass Spider!" you kind of know what you're in for.

Observer

Aims for satire and settles for stale shtick.

Digital Journal

With a title like Big Ass Spider, the only way it could be truly disappointing is if it didn't feature a huge arachnid. Luckily it matches that ridiculousness with an equally over-the-top dose of humor and fun.

There is a certain beauty in the simplicity of a literal film title.

The Film Stage

In an age when the grindhouse doesn't really exist anymore, it seems that Big Ass Spider! is made solely for a solitary snickering viewing.

Loved it! The security guard stole the show! Great acting, great dialog. Every line he said made me laugh! The storyline was fair, the dialog was over the top funny! "Spider monkey / shoot it in the butt" etc. It wasn't merely the script, it was the way he delivered each line. This guy is a fantastic actor!
