Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/05/23 Full Review Jonathan C An odd episode of the Addams Family. Spider Baby is just another of those film's that makes my weird and insane self feel a bit normal. I have never heard of Jack Hill but for this being the first film of his I've seen I'm very impressed. The direction here great and the odd visual style feels very off but, it works for this kind of story. Jack Hill does his best not in the direction but the writing. He really makes us connect and sympathize for this odd family of freaks. Lon Chaney Jr. was fantastic and could have done this performance with solely his face expressions (not surprising as his father was the great Lon Chaney). Jill Banner and Beverly Washburn was phenomenal and I don't know how they weren't film stars in the 60s and 70s. These 3 performances carried the movie entirely. The score was surprisingly great considering that it comes from Ronald Stein who I have never heard of before. The only complaint that I have (which is actually more of a complement) is that the film has a short runtime. The story didn't have enough to make it last at least 110 minutes so, it's understandable that this was less than 90 minutes; however, I would have like for this film be longer because of how much I fell in love with the performances and characters. All in all, Spider Baby was a very enjoyable and solid little weird film that has unfortunate faded into obscurity. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/28/23 Full Review Michael W I really enjoyed this movie. Partly because it was so original. I watched The Haunting of Hill House And The Bat awhile back and to me, they weren't much better than Plan 9 From Outer Space! Also, even tho I am 74 and I live in a nursing home, I still wanted to find out all I could about Beverly Washburn because she is a cutie and sexy! What is ironic is that tubi had a documentary about the 100 worst horror movies and they said Spider Baby was the worst horror movie ever made! Shoot, Rotten Tomatoes gave it a 94% on their Tomatometer! :o) Watch it and I'm sure you'll find it a refreshing change. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/02/21 Full Review michael d It's a fun, quick lil quirky trip through weirdness.
