Voxitype Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

BelSports This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

azathothpwiggins Leering, lecherous manager Gary Webster (Alexander D'Arcy) and his troupe of brain-deprived, female dancers find themselves stranded on a seemingly uninhabited island, after their airplane crashes into the Pacific ocean. However, before reaching land, they must first moan like a sack full of cats, while floating on their life raft. Once on land, their moaning turns into sighing, murmuring, and a mass case of the vapors. All except for Webster, because he's a man don'cha know! Luckily, his manliness saves these sighing, moaning, vaporized dancers. Without him, they couldn't have found the waterfall that was ten feet away! Watch those high heels, now! Happening upon a deserted domicile, Gary and the moaning murmurers enter. Love and partial disrobing commences. Oh no! They're not alone after all. something else is on the island. Something hideous! Something... spidery! Gary is affected... negatively. Will he ever put his shirt back on? What will the dunderheaded dancing girls do without him? Moaning gives way to screeching. Jazz plays, as much sauntering occurs. Dear god! Gary! Noooooo! Eeeeaaaghh!! Can death and cat fights be far off? HORRORS OF SPIDER ISLAND (aka: BODY IN THE WEB) is an insanely inept, absolutely enjoyable hunk of gooey Limburger! A must for the ultra-schlock enthusiast!...

JohnHowardReid A Gaston Hakim Production. Not copyright 1960 by Intercontinental Film/Rapid Film. U.S. release through Pacemaker Pictures: March 1962 (original 86-minutes version under the title It's Hot in Paradise), November 1965 (re-edited 75-minutes version). Released in West Germany in 1960 as Ein Toter hing im Netz. Alternative U.S. titles: Hot in Paradise, Girls of Spider Island, The Spider's Web, Body in the Web.SYNOPSIS: After their plane crashes into the ocean, a Hollwood talent scout, his secretary and six showgirls are stranded on a remote Pacific island. NOTES: A German movie, filmed on location in Nicola, Yugoslavia. COMMENT: It's sad to see a fine actor like Alex D'Arcy (How To Marry a Millionaire, Soldier of Fortune), reduced to acting in a German girlie movie that has now hit the airwaves as a somewhat tamer horror flick. Mind you, by the humble standards of both dubbed (D'Arcy at least provides his own voice) and "B" films, this entry in the monster cycle (cf. Wasp Woman) is not too uninteresting. In fact, the director manages to utilize his real locations to bring off a few adventurous effects. True, production credits mostly vary from typical Poverty Row shortcuts to merely competent craftsmanship, but at least there are plenty of showgirls to distract one's attention. In fact, it could be argued there are too many girls, for at least five of these young ladies look so alike, it's impossible to tell them apart.

O2D It didn't take long to realize that this movie had been completely changed from whatever it had originally been.I guess it was basically a porn and the spider stuff was just added in later?Even with all the sex cut out there's still very little about the whole spider thing.The dubbed voices are great.I suspect that the same person did every woman's voice.All the women have very distinct and very bad accents.The story is very boring.It starts with a guy auditioning a dozen dancers for a mystery trip.The auditions take forever then thirty seconds later their plane has crashed head first into the ocean at 300mph and they are all dry and on a life raft.Then the guy has sex with them all and then he becomes a spider man and just goes away.Then two more guys show up to have sex with all the women.I give it two stars because it has to be better than the original.Probably worth watching if you like bad monster movies.

drystyx Not all of the older movies were great. Indeed, the nazi party was in full swing in making propaganda movies, usually in science fiction, and didn't have to bother to be even a tiny bit subtle.Director Bottger waves his swastika as predictably as any one. With the vehicle being an airplane crash on a remote island with a giant spider, he contrives an entire story to show that brunette women must die and blonde women alone must survive. There just isn't any more to the story. It's the ultimate chick flick, with gorgeous brunettes biting the dust, but obviously the most depressing thing in the world for a straight guy. Brunettes are what guys want, and blonds are what women want guys to want.So the Hitler worshipers like Bottger had more than one target audience, but if you aren't a swastika waver, or a woman jealous of brunettes, there's just absolutely nothing else in this tripe. Absolutely nothing. And that isn't a spoiler, because it is very obvious from the start that this is going to be another nazi propaganda movie.
