Best movie ever!

Which actress played the college student being eaten by the giant spider? I believe it was during the scene when the spider causes havoc around the campus. She is knocked down by another student during the panic and was seen by the two main characters being lifted between the spider's fangs, struggling and screaming. I know the character scene was short, but i want to know if her name was unaccredited or not. I will see if i can find a photograph of the character from the movie if you ask. I will see if someone by the name of BlkChameleon has something like that called Spiders Vore, if so I will make sure he sends the IP address to show it.

This movie is so fake. I mean, if this movie was produced in 1975, it would've been a great movie. But with the current (or back in 2000) computer-animated special effects, they could've done it better! Already in the beginning at the part where the space-shuttle exploded, I could clearly see it was fake. Not to mention the spider 'Mother in law' itself... almost hilarious to see. It moved on like it was guided by strings and looked like it was made of plastic. This can be clearly seen in the part where 'mother-in-law' crawls out of the astronaut's body and flees along the walls. The story itself isn't so thrilling either. A spider being injected by an alien DNA in space. God knows where that alien DNA came from. As far as I can tell, it wasn't told in the movie (maybe I fell asleep of boredom). No, next time it appears on television, I'll pass.

SPIDERS could have been another No-Flash, Even Less Bang DTV horror flick. But about halfway through, the writers got smart and made the final fifteen minutes something that monster movies fanatics the world over would of cheered in an immaculate chorus if they saw it in a movie theater for. Problem is, no one would've had the patience to stay up until then.The plot is simple: The government injects a spider with alien DNA, it lays an egg in someone before it dies, the offspring hatches in a decent gross-out scene, and crap happens. It takes a while to get going, and even once it does nothing cool ever happens until the finale, which involves yet another spider, this one bigger than a large sports car, getting loose in Los Angles. It really is quite the spectacle, one that I thought saved the film from being a total snoozefest.Everything else is average or below-average, except the puppetry effects used for the spiders (there's only three in the entire film). There is one part where the creature is obviously just a prop on the end of a stick, but other than that the practical effects are outstanding for this kind of film. Now about the CG, well, its terrible for the most part.Overall, SPIDERS makes for an okay weekend rental. Don't expect much, and you shouldn't be too disappointed.

I am a huge fan of movies and TV programmes. This like many other DVD's i buy went straight back to the shop. I haven't seen the film in a while (that is a good thing) but can remember the basic outline of the plot and story. A top secret DNA experiment on a rare breed of spider goes horrifically wrong as a freak meteor shower engulfs a NASA shuttle on a deep space mission. Tragedy hits the doomed space-craft as it is re-directed to a secret location in the heart of the California desert. The only survivor has been inpregnated with the venom of a rogue killer spider (sounds exciting to say the least) In the depths of a secret underground base another killer spider hatches from the body of the space shuttle survivor (WOW). An X-Files-style conspiracy creates and unleashes murderous mutant spiders feeding on their victims and growing in size after each kill. Mayhem ensues as a giant killer spider stomps through the streets of LA (as always)! Ridiculous from the start and very boring overall. The cheesiest part is where the two last friends are caught in a giant web in a elevator shaft and a spider comes running down the wall, if you see the sequel, this shot is used again. The boy lets his friend survive by making the spider in some way go for him. In LA the spider gets bigger and the special effects literally bomb. It looks as if they have followed a spider round with a video camera and got some dud idiot to blow it up. They eventually kill it by shooting it in the mouth. BORING the film went straight back to the shop. Hated it from the opening titles through to the dismal end. The plot, effects and seriously bad acting are'nt even laughable i would give this film a 0/10 if possible, don't waste time buying this film because you WILL take it backthank you, stephenquinn
