A large spider from the jungles of South America is accidentally transported in a crate with a dead body to America where it mates with a local spider. Soon after, the residents of a small California town disappear as the result of spider bites from the deadly spider offspring. It's up to a couple of doctors with the help of an insect exterminator to annihilate these eight legged freaks.
The film mixes spider horror with dry humor and lets both run side by side. The tension comes from small everyday moments where something crawls in a shoe, a bowl or a bathroom. It works as a fun scare for the evening that tickles more than it disturbs.
Good for you if you like animal horror with a wink and enjoy a scare in a small town.
