Summary: the best movie of my year!!
Review: This esquisite movie is the most wonderful interesting thing I have been to the movies to see all year!
This has the best story line I have seen in a movie for a long time and the mad bad as radio broadcaster is amazing. He is really the start and finish of the movie. The freak with the spider farm really gave it the feel and their wonderful sense of humor was great.
If you're not a very smart this ISN'T the film for you. You have to take note of every little thing in this movie ...
I would recomend this to all of my friends ( because thy're all resonably smart and alert) well I let you see what you think of the movie and I've given you a head start!
Well hope you enjoy this as much as me ! bye for now

Summary: Good cheesy fun
Review: Self-referential postmodern anything is pretty fashionable in Hollywood at the moment, and 'Eight-Legged Freaks' certainly isn't the first. There's been 'Lake Placid' and 'Deep Blue Sea' to name but two. Rather than scare they mock themselves, creating laughter for an audience that's seen it all before. This particular movie is set in a desert town called Prosperity, where Arquette returns after ten years to resolve some issues with the woman he still loves even now, the Sheriff, who we just know that when she shakes out that tight bun of hair will be stunningly beautiful. But of course we need beautiful cast members for these kinds of movie and a fat male sheriff just wouldn't do. Along for the ride are her brat kids, a science nerd who's conveniently fascinated by spiders, and a tearaway daughter (Scarlett Johansson of 'Ghost World'). After the river gets contaminated by toxic waste the local spider farm's spiders grow to mammoth size and before long are terrorizing the local neighbourhood. Thankfully the convoluted plot is done with a wink to the audience and this is blockbusting fun that's perfect for a Friday night out to the pictures.The special effects are key, as a group of motorcyclists are joyously disposed of by giant jumping spiders, an ostrich farm is eaten by a spider that leaps out of a trapdoor in the ground or the deputy's cat is imprinted on a plaster wall after another arach-attack. As we see Prosperity gleefully wrecked by the little nasties, with annoying teens and countless townspeople being devoured with a fervent joy. It's a case of marvelling as the people of Prosperity blast their way through the thralls of spiders with rifles and laughing as a giant tarantula tipples over a caravan. There's even a hilarious radio presenter telling his listeners how the aliens will be coming and how they should have listened to him all along. Sure this is hardly a classic but as blockbusting, knowingly cheesy entertainment goes, this is great stuff.

Summary: Non-stop fun
Review: I saw this film recently and thought it was great.The special effects are excellent and it is one of the funniest movies of the summer.It is a whole lot better than Reign of Fire.It has some moments that are pretty creepy and some that are gross.It is like Tremors in which it never takes itself seriously and Gremlins in which it is funny but scary.This is a must-see along with Spiderman and Road to Perdition.

Summary: You don't have to be an arachnophove to get a scare here!
Review: "Eight Legged Freaks" is no masterpiece; it is not the next "Titanic." It will not move you to tears with the death of a much-beloved hero or heroine (the ending is a happy and satisfying one). It will not leave you guessing for what happens next. It WILL, however, give you one hell of a thrill! This movie is meant to be fun; if you don't want to have fun, don't watch it. David Arquette gives a good performance as a young man returning to his small home town in the desert. He's the son of a mining baron, and he wants to restore wealth to the village. He meets trouble, however, when, unbeknownst to him, a truck carrying barrels of toxins accidently loses a part of its shipment. The toxins get back to a local spider farm, and the arachnids go wild, growing to enormous proportions. They predictably escape, and soon dogs, cats, and ostriches (see the movie) are disappearing all over town. No one but the young son of the "hottest sheriff in the state" (portrayed by Kari Wuhrer, actress of so many low-budget erotic movies--none of which I've seen, but she is excellent in this film) suspects what's really going on. And as soon as Arquette and Wuhrer get the idea--well, it's too late! Featuring a wide range of spiders--jumpers, orb weavers, and even a huge tarantuala--this movie is unrealistic, unimaginative, and definitely not an Oscar-winner...in other words, the type of movie for you to pop in (or, in this case, go see in the theaters), grab some popcorn, and chill out! Combined with the actors and the arachnids are one-liners that offer a much-welcomed laugh or two. This is a perfect combination for a horror/sci-fi film! It's basically just a fancy B-movie, but you aren't supposed to take this film seriously. If you suspect you will, then do not see it. Also, don't be put off by the "icky" spiders; they just add to the excitement. Go see this, preferable with someone you are willing to share a laugh with, and who will snuggle up next to you when a trap-door spider steals an ostrich in a surprise attack. (P.S. As far as I know, there were no spiders harmed during the filming of this movie!)

Summary: Good movie in the vein of Gremlins...
Review: Eight Legged Freaks takes those little creatures just about everyone is afrais of and blows them up to enormous size. The film - co-written and directed by Ellory Elkayhem - does exactly what it sets out to do: entertain. Though it would have been a nice return to creepiness, the film goes for a campy, more humorous approach. David Arquette plays pretty much the same role he did in the SCREAM trilogy; a goofy, but loveable character. Kari Whurur from SLIDERS fame plays the town's sheriff, recently divorced with two kids: the rebellious teenage girl, and the spider know-it-all son who tries to save everybody only to have them ingore his warnings until it is too late. The spiders themselves are great and mostly believable except for the high-pitched voices much like the ones from Gremlins. The whole premise is set up much like Gremlins as well: small town overrun by creatures in a humorous way. Worth checking out if you like Gremlins, but others looking for creepiness keep searching!

Summary: Oh, What Tangled Web We Weave...
Review: When first we practice to make bad movies for only money!! (Sorry, Will)
This is not that bad of a film but it ain't good, either. David Arquette "stars" as a prodigal son who returns to a small mining town, Prosperity, to save his family's gold mine. Unknown to any, the mayor has let a toxic waste company store toxic waste in the mine shafts. A freak accident, a truck driver sweving to avoid a rabbit no less, causes a drum to contaminate a local pond where a Jake, a local spider collecter, catches food for his pets. The result: the spiders grow to enormous size and begin eating the townspeople. In a life or death struggle at the local mall, half the townspeople are eaten, the other half escape thru the mines which they blow up, barbequeing the spiders.
Tspecial effects are neat, with spiders jumping all over the place with the motorcycle chase especially fun to watch. The trap door spiders are eerie as they lie in wait to an unsuspecting human to walk by. The giant tarantula is expected.
The dialogue is predictable with a few good quips but overall lame. The acting is what you would expect in this kind of film, bland and uninspired. The actors seem torn between having a good time and trying to save their careers so don't expect much.
This is the kind of film you would rent on a day when the shop ran a special.

Summary: Great as far as monster movies go!
Review: This film may have a lame title but it is in actuality the perfect summer movie. It has scares, laughs, action and incredible special effects. The story pays homage to the big bug movies of the 50's (e.g. THEM,or Tarantula) where a bunch of exotic spiders multiply many times in size after being fed radioactive grasshoppers. The spiders proceed to hide in an old mine shaft and come out at night to prey on the local town.
Eventually the town's people hide in the local mall and ward off the eight legged terrors while trying to find a way to get help. There is a strong comic element in the film and most of it is delivered by Doug E. Doug who is hysterical as a local paranoid radio show host. David Arquette is also funny in several scenes and the music itself is quite clever. In one part they actually play The Itsy Bitsy Spider as a giant tarantula attacks a trailer. To sum it all up this film is far superior to the retread MIB 2 and definitely deserves a look. Cat lovers beware ,however because a cat is attacked during an unfortunately long death sequence.

Summary: A great movie!
Review: I went to see this movie a few days ago and it's great! It takes place in a town in Arizona that becomes invaded by giant spiders who are mutated when they eat bugs that were in toxic waste. Unlike that 50's movie where there was only one spider and all they did was cut and paste, in this movie they can jump and there's alot more of them too. The special effects were awesome! Highly reccomended!
