Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.
Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,
The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.
An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.
Oh, the irony.To be frank, I only sought after this film because of how much I adored Mosquito, another giant bug movie from the same director, Gary Jones. Let me tell you, this is no Mosquito. Not even close.Spiders has some cool aspects. For example, the climax of the film is surprisingly enjoyable and the animtronic effects look somewhat decent half of the time, as the DVD cover proudly boasts "from the same effects team as Army Of Darkness, Spawn, and Wishmaster!" But the compliments end there. Porn stars would be facepalming in embarrassment at the lack of acting ability present at the set, but I'm not sure who to blame; the actors or the abysmal script.This has got to be one of the worst screenplays I've ever seen translated into film. Every line of dialog is clichéd and laughable, with laughable line delivery by the elementary school play actors to top it off. Yes, Mosquito had some terrible acting too, but it had good acting to even it out. There is only one good actor in Spiders, and he says two lines before getting shot. Excellent casting guys, bravo. It also doesn't help that the characters are written with zero likability as they make dumb decision after dumb decision after dumb decision. Truly, the characters and actors are what subtract so many stars from the rating.Gary Jones made Mosquito with only $200,000 but created an enjoyable and extremely entertaining B-movie with lots of gore and high rewatch value. Gary Jones made Spiders with $2 million, but created an embarrassing, appalling mess with little to no redeemable factors.
I personally wouldn't go as far as to call it a great movie, the special effects are wildly inconsistent, sometimes decent but also sometimes very superficial and the film, despite the fact it has the feel of a parody, can get very derivative and predictable at times and the editing could have been a little sharper, at times there was too much of a 60s-70s TV movie feel to it. However, the costume and set design were reasonably good, I enjoyed the tongue-in-cheek dialogue with its embracing of the genre clichés and the spiders do have a certain menace to them. There is also a nice mix of fun and scary moments, including the wonderfully chaotic ending, the characters are admittedly clichéd but I have seen and heard far worse written characters before in far worse movies that had no excuse to be as bad as they are and the young cast are very likable. Overall, not great but could have been far worse. 7/10 Bethany Cox
Spiders (2000) ** (out of 4) Once again we're greeted with a Creature Feature that is obviously not meant to be taken overly serious. In the film, a female reporter for a UFO conspiracy paper winds up in the desert just as a spaceship crashes. Her and her crew enters and see that all of the members are dead but not from the crash itself but instead from their bodies being ripped apart. Soon the evil government men are on the site and it turns out that we've been doing experiments on spiders in outer space and now they're large, hungry and ready to kill. SPIDERS isn't really anything special but I'm sure fans of the genre will find enough here to make it worth sitting through at least once as long as you know what you're getting and don't go into this thing expecting CASABLANCA or GONE WITH THE WIND. This is an ultra-cheap "B" movie so people should go into it expecting just that. Story wise there's really nothing here that really stands out, although I'm sure UFO buffs will get a kick out of the small time newspaper trying to break their first big story. The majority of the film deals with the typical stuff like the evil government people, the head man who will kill anyone to keep the secret and of course we get the new guy who doesn't know who he's working for so obviously he's going to switch sides. The spiders are all obviously fake but they really don't look too bad. I think their look is quite good but what makes this film stand apart is that we're treated to some pretty gory death scenes. There's constantly slime being spit by not only the spiders but also the humans and we're constantly getting shots of the red stuff flying around. Performances are pretty much what you'd expect from a film like this with the cast fitting their roles nicely. If you're looking for suspense then you're going to be disappointed but if you want cheap monsters and gore then this film delivers that.

Normeally these movies have bad effects, bad acting and a terrible script, but i was totally surprised about this film. 'Spiders' is an enjoyable film from start to finish. Naturally the story isn't original and there are a few cheesy lines, but overall the script had a nice twist. The acting was actually very good and quite professional for this film. The special effects wasn't the best, and seemed flawed in a few places, such as the spider changing sizes, but it's not the worse. There are a few scenes which look wonderful on film, particularly the spider flipping the car. Overall, this is a wonderful film to watch, but i should add something. If you want a shorter version of the film, then watch the trailer (well, at least the trailer on the DVD), as the trailer reveals everything, including the deaths. Enjoy "'Mother-in-law' is in the building." - Agent Gray (Mark Phelan)
