Arachnophobia

Summary: Scary and funny.
Review: I am not a fan of horror or thriller movies, but I have seen this one several times. The first time I saw it I screamed through almost the whole thing. It scared me to death! I am absolutely terrified of spiders and yet I watched it. *lol* For those who like a good scare (minus anything overly-gory) with some laughs, this is a good movie to watch. John Goodman is very funny as the exterminator. I do not recommend this one for children. The language is a bit much. And smaller children could have nightmares.

Summary: The Spider vs Miss Muffit
Review: I first watched this movie at an early time considering my own fear of spiders, I felt like an idiot not being able to maintane sanity around spiders, preferably big ones. As I began to get over my fear to somewhat degree I began watching this movie more, finding the utter extrordinance that it held. Alot of people found the movie to be hillarious untill the end, I find the movie a horror with funney parts in it, but past that I finally bought the movie realizing I loved it, it really is a great moviethat holds intensity and thrills and chills with lots of humor, some say its a Thrillomedy. Jeff Daniels broke through with a great role as the small town supposed to be doctor with extreme fear of spiders.....Arachnophobia, of corse now the most deadly spiders known to man have traveled, coincidental, to the small town he and his family have just embarked upon. Steven Spieldberg Executive produced along with Frank Marshall who directed, with some wierd yet sensible music by no name Trevor Jones, and John Goodman plays the extremly hillarious exterminator Delbert, with a few other admirable cast, Jeff Daniels broke on a common ground finding some eye to eye with the audience, in which I began to take a liking to Jeff Daniels acting, with a Slam-Bam climax and ending you'll be on the edge of your seat gripping whatever you can untill the movie ends, for those spider haters, here is an extremly large dosage of Spider Ville.

Summary: Campy fun
Review: i liked this film when it came out. it felt underrated, but very fun to watch as superspiders took over a northern california town. there was great humor in the film and it has one of the creepiest bathtub scenes ever made, when the spider crawls down the front of the young woman taking a shower. ewwww!

Review: I remeber watching Arachnophobia when i was small and i loved it. Again it recently came on T.V. and it still had me cringing. This is not a bad movie, you just have to sit back, and tell yourself that anything is possible. COOL MOVIE

Summary: Terrifying movie!
Review: I still get the heeby jeebies when watching this movie even after so many years after first seeing it and having horrific nightmares for days afterwards even though I've grown to appreciate spiders more nowadays. The reason this movie is so able to scare is because of it's suprisingly realistic nature of dangerous spiders with extremely toxic venom being able to be transported to different countries.

In this case, a species of spider from South America hitches a ride aboard a ship and ends up breeding with the domestic house spiders in the United States and the hatchling spiders start killing residents of a small California town and time is running out to stop the spiders from spreading and breeding with more domestic house spiders and enabling this dangerous species to spread all over the United States.

This is a really terrifying and very well thought-out movie of immense proportions. It truly demonstrates why it's a very bad idea to bring 'alien' species to other lands other than their own native habitats.

Go and get this movie if you want a scary but fun ride. Arachnophobes though should steer clear. For everyone else, welcome aboard!

Summary: Great Movie
Review: I thought that archnophobia was a great movie. It was Thrilling and funny, and I recomend it to anyone who likes a good thriller. I think that the guy who gave it one star needs to get a life and stop taking things to seriously. He's a little too attached to spiders if you know what I mean.

Summary: lives up to its name
Review: If ever a movie deserved the title arachnophobia, it is definitly this one. I saw this when I kid, and still have a huge fear of spiders, thanks to this movie. Although really fearful of spiders, I love this movie because it plays so beautifully into it. The last 15-30 minutes will make anyones skin crawl, and I definitly recommened this to anyone, even those with arachnophobia.

Summary: There ought to be a 0-star ratng for trash such as this.
Review: If I tell you that the only memorable part of this film is the telling of the home truth that 'man would find it very difficult to exist in a world without spiders', you can judge what the rest of it is like without reading the following review.

In a society which is supposedly animal-loving, it's amazing how many people enjoy watching the spiders in this film being gratuitously stamped on, burned to death and killed in various other brutal ways. No doubt if the spiders were a race of genuinely vicious and destructive creatures such as mink or rats then there would be a public outcry.

The plot is like something out of a 50's 'worst of Hollywood' turkey. A family move into a house and find that a giant unknown species of tarantula has somehow mated with a tiny house spider (apart from anything else, how would a house spider reach?) and produced a whole load of teething rubber monsters which seem unable to do any harm even in their hundreds. The 'general', a huge tarantula, is strangely able to leap through the air like a cricket and manages to dangle on a strand of web.

Tame, bland, cartoony stuff. Only the most arachnophobic will be scared by this, and they wouldn't watch it in the first place, so the whole film becomes somewhat pointless. Watch the docmentary 'Giant Tarantula' instead, which is far more dramatic and also shows these fascinating animals as the public enemy they aren't.
