Watch Arachnophobia For Free

Excellent, Without a doubt!!

Absolutely brilliant

Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

Arachnophobia is the fear of arachnids, spiders, but there's really nothing for anyone out there to fear, because these sweet little guys are oh so cute, oh look at him, and oh so sweet, they have lots of eyes, but they're all still so adorable and completely and utterly harmless. The big furry ones, like tarantulas, cannot hurt you and they're way more scared of you then you of them, but fortunately for this forever classic, Arachnophobia, there's a new breed of deadly South American spider that's been isolated and unchanged for millions of years, and is quite toxic, and quite sneaky, so game on, BUT, real life tarantulas are sweet and harmless. They cannot seriously hurt you, unless they like bite you in the eye or something that would probably suck but they wouldn't even want to do that because they're all really so smart and so sweet.(Great Cast --> Jeff Daniels, I really love stunning Harley Jane Kozak, and John Goodman's really memorable as the exterminator --> Great Movie --> Great Villain --> Great Spider Shots)

This directorial feature film debut from legendary producer Frank Marshall was surprisingly enjoyable to me. I loved Daniels and Goodman, the atmosphere, the great creature design and the screenplay's "respect for structure" (Roger Ebert).

105 minutes may be too many for a movie about killer spiders, but other than that, this is an entertaining, well-done horror comedy, in the "animals/serpents/bugs/birds/etc. attack" sub-genre. The director, Frank Marshall, and the screenwriters, Wesley Strick and Don Jakoby, think of every possible and impossible place to put their spiders, which are a near flawless mix of the real thing and animatronic models (thankfully, this movie was made before the days of CGI - notice how fake the same creatures look in later horror movies). Both the sudden shocks and the close calls are expertly timed by Marshall, and because there are no real "villains" among the humans you don't know who is going to get it - obviously the Spielbergian family is safe, but everyone else is fair game. I do, however, have some reservations about John Goodman's bug-exterminator character: he seems to have stepped in from another movie - "Ghostbusters"! **1/2 out of 4.

Arachnophobia, a very creepy unsettling film for people who are very scared of Spiders in General incredibly brilliant Directing from Frank Marshall who adds lots of suspense & terror when the spiders are shown on screen along with Trevor Jones music score very creepy & Haunting I had to fast forward/skip certain scenes actually.. Jeff Daniels is ideal for this role, playing the cowardly but stand up doctor to a T. Even though I didn't have a love match with Goodman's character, he played it like he was born for it. Julian Sands - who I'm also a fan of - does what he can with the role. He's usually more...err, hard to think of the right word - maybe mesmerizing or stand outs (if the last is even a word), but here his character is more blah and drags him down with it. All others do a very good job, but nothing award winning, especially the kiddies. The spiders never miss a beat.This is a fun movie to watch. The acting, especially by John Goodman as exterminator Delbert McClintock, is excellent, and the plot, while suspenseful at times, does a good job of blending in some humor as well (Goodman's "That's right, I'm bad" line after squishing an unsuspecting spider is a good example). I highly recommend this movie. Watch and get a good scare and laugh at the same time.Overall rating: 7 out of 10.
