Itsy Bitsy works well enough on its own terms, providing some genuine jolts and benefiting from the excellent performances.

Los Angeles Times

The gothic atmosphere and the disgustingly gooey special effects are the main attraction. The existential dread is just an extra.

Radio Times

Existential family drama meets standard horror tropes in this creepy-crawly creature feature.

Rated: 3/5

Throughout the whole film everything is so overly spelled out and we're constantly being reminded about it. They left no room for the audience to have an "aha moment".

Rated: 4/10

What Micah Gallo's monster may lack in sheer size, it more than makes up for in the terror it induces.

I mean, it's okay. Plot armor does exist though.

"People need to believe in something whether it's to blame or to praise. You believe in something long enough and hard enough, it becomes reality." – Walter Clark (Bruce Davison) The huge, hairy spider in "Itsy Bitsy" is a metaphor for mother/nurse Kara Spencer's (Elizabeth Roberts) anxiety, her emotional trauma caused by losing a child, and her subsequent Opioid addiction. The stronger the spider grows and spins her enchanting webs, and the frenzied rate of her procreation (planting egg sacks in strategic spots in the attic), the more spindly and vulnerable the protagonist becomes. Director and screenwriter Micah Gallo tells a simple, yet beautifully-&-tensely-told horror tale; he has a nook-&-cranny, cinematic eye; and the cast gives a flawless performance, especially the two child actors Chloe Perrin (Cambria Spencer) and Arman Darbo (Jesse Spencer). The spider/kid fight scenes will freak you out.

"Would you check under my bed?"... Cinematography and editing are great! The monster is only a secondary character, the first one is the family drama, portrayed in a genuine way. My rating: 7,5/10

Aside from the little girl's horrible acting this is a rather decent movie.
