Watch In the Spider's Web For Free

Captivating movie !

In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

In the Spider's Web is another example of late of a movie that I was not expecting much from, but got better than expected. There are some creepy close-ups, a good attempt at a sense of atmosphere, decent scenery and a good concept that apart from a lot of silliness actually does engage at least. Where In the Spider's Web is let down is in the rather fake-looking effects, some very cheesy scripting, clichéd and very underwritten characters, one too many moments where one has to suspend disbelief and acting that doesn't convey much emotion and when tried feels forced. And sadly, while a nice presence Lance Henrikseen is no exception.All in all, has its moments but to me In the Spider's Web is not a good movie let alone great. 4/10 Bethany Cox

In the Spider's Web is set somewhere in India where several friends are on holiday in a huge forest, Brian (Mike Rogers) claims little is known of the region except lots of Spider's live there. After one of the friends Geraldine (Jane Perry) is bitten by a poisonous Spider while sleeping the rest of the party decide to take her to the nearest village for help where they find Dr. Lecorpus (lance Henriksen) who happens to be a bit of an expert on Spider's, he does all he can to save Geraldine although the other's feel they need outside help so decide to split up with Brian & Stacy (Lisa Livingstone) staying behind at the village while the rest head for the nearest town. However it soon becomes apparent that Dr. Lecorpus' intentions are far from well meaning & as a disgraced surgeon harvests human organs to sell on the black market using the special properties of Spider venom...Directed by Terry Winsor this is yet another 'Creature Feature' that aired on the Sci-Fi Channel before hitting DVD shelves as part of the Maneater series of films which includes some terrible stuff & I am sad to say In the Spider's Web pretty much continues the trend. To be fair the makers of In the Spider's Web have tried to mix a few genres together here with elements of creature feature with the Spider's themselves, mad scientist horror with Henriksen harvesting human organs for profit & adventure with daring escapes across huge ravines using bridges made of Spider's webs but it still doesn't add up to anything that significant or good. A lot of the plot is underdeveloped (how do they harvest the Spider venom, what's the story behind the guy with a bag over his head & why do the tribe worship Spider's or even help Dr. Lecorpus?), the character's are poor, the dialogue is poor & it's fairly forgettable. At just over 80 odd minutes at least it's not too long & it does move along at a fair pace but I really can't say I enjoyed watching it to any great degree.There isn't even any gore to take your mind off the the bad script, there's a bit of fake blood but nothing else worth mentioning. The Spider's themselves are depicted using real Spider's which look good for obvious reason, fake rubber ones which look daft as they dangle on string & don't move at all & the CGI computer graphics ones which are awful & just look bad as they move along. Also it's worth noting just how none sticky the Spider's webs are in this, the three at the end walk across that web bridge but never get stuck once & everyone else just walks through or over the stuff & yet it never sticks to anything which is odd because even normal sized ones you find in your garden shed are sticky if you touch them let alone supposedly thousands woven together.Obviously shot on a low budget this had some filming in Thailand although some of the jungle scenes are plainly studio bound as you can hear that distinctive sound stage echo. The acting is pretty bad all round & Henriksen deserves to be in better than this, he doesn't even get a decent death scene.In the Spider's Web is another bad Sci-Fi Channel 'Creature Feature' that is as forgettable as most of the other's, lots of time spent following people walking around a cave but little else to be honest.

It's not bad. There is a real plot, poisoning people to harvest their organs for the black market. Strangely, they never catch the *real* bad guys; the ones with the chopper and automatic weapons who are buying and hauling off the body parts. But there are other bad guys and bad things (spiders), who, the guys and a few of the spiders, get their comeuppance. We even have the "cavelry" riding to the rescue near the end.There are a couple of foxy young women, albeit a bit soiled. They get in some amount of trouble, but without much screaming and other nonsensical silliness. Some, but not a lot. The initially irascible blond turns out to be more than a bit of a heroine.There is a reasonable amount of tension. And there is a limited amount of gross stupidity on the part of the characters used to further the tension. The writers are clever enough to produce tension by having the bad guys do evil things, rather than having the good guys do stupid ones.I might have rated this flick a five or six, but I just have this thing about spiders -- yecch!

This is possibly the best TV sci-Fi/horror movie i have ever seen. The essence of the classic spider movies (kingdom of the spiders, arachnophobia e.t.c to name a few) is inside this creepy and chilling tale about a village thats attacked by the arachnids and a sinister doctor who has more than the usual liking to these eight legged killers. I saw this on Sky two the other night. Scared the hell out of me and gave me a case of the squirms. The spiders are real and mostly shown in close up detail just to make your skin crawl and they were terrifying. I screamed a couple of times when they did attack. Checked my bed several times to make sure none were in my room. Yes i know that sounds silly but this film does that to you. You see so many close-ups of spiders that you start to feel the paranoia that the characters face and you eyes start to play tricks on you. Another good thing about this film is that the spiders do descend from the ceiling or roof and drop on their victims. If the view of a big hairy and deadly tarantula doesn't scare you, then you must have steel for blood and be warned there are lots of spiders in this, and i mean lots. Crawling on walls, webs and even humans, its an arachnophobics nightmare. Towards the end some of the spiders become CGI and that does slightly kill the mood but then you come face to face with a real one and the fear returns.Lance Henriksen is good for the role of the Doctor as the other cast work well together with the spiders, making you believe in the terror that they are facing. The director work this clever web of horror round you and instills the real fear that the characters have faced and some have not lived from.All in all a good skin crawling horror movie that i'd love to see again and hope that someone releases it on DVD.
