Eight Legged Freaks
The movie concerns hundreds of little spiders that are exposed to toxic waste, causing them to grow to gigantic proportions and begin killing and harvesting. When the alarm is sounded, it is up to mining engineer Chris McCormack and Sheriff Sam Parker to mobilize an eclectic group of townspeople, including the Sheriff's young son, Mike, her daughter, Ashley and a paranoid radio announcer named Harlan to battle the bloodthirsty eight-legged beasts.

What it lacks in scares, however, Eight Legged Freaks makes up for with gallons of gooey-green spider guts.

A fun, fantastic homage to the B movies of the golden age of horror cinema...

This is a poster movie, a mediocre tribute to films like Them!

No Aracnhophobia but still good.

As green-guts monster movies go, it's a beaut.

[I]ts marginally amusing, but I'm giving it thumbs down.

However many screaming teenagers it produces at the multiplexes, Eight Legged Freaks isn't good or funny enough to reinvigorate the style. It can't even maintain its own initial zing.

It's the filmmakers' post-camp comprehension of what made old-time B movies good-bad that makes Eight Legged Freaks a perfectly entertaining summer diversion.

Straight-out scarefest.

Despite nifty F/X, first-time director Ellory Elkayem's staging is altogether devoid of variation.

The best giant-spider movie I've seen in quite some time.
