Summary: You've Got To Be Kidding Me
Review: Don't get me wrong! I love horror movies, science fiction movies and movies with big creatures in it. I'll even go as far as "just" buying a movie rather than rent it - BUT - This has to be possibly the WORST MOVIE I ever bought.

I gave this movie only 2 stars. 1 for the realistic look of the spiders as they reaked havic on the citizens towards the end of the movie and 1 for my main man on the radio. He was the only actor in the movie that delivered any comedy to his lines.

The rest of the acting was totally stupid and my recommendation to anyone is: If you BUY them instead of RENT... Then, don't rent it at all. Even on a Rainy Day!!!

Summary: Eight Legged will Freak You Out
Review: Paying homage to the grand old tradition of the 50's monster movies, "Eight Legged Freaks" is a time honored idea whose time has come again. Starring David Arquette, Kari Wuhrer and Doug E. Doug, "Freaks" re-explores the possibilities of what would happen if toxic waste really did affect the genetic code of spiders. Like the 50's classic "Tarantula", the movie pits the citizens of a rural town against the terror of giant arachnids. The difference here (and it's a big one) is that the there are a LOT of spiders and the special effects are amazing and down right creepy. These spiders aren't content with tip-toing around in the dark and waiting for the screaming villager to fall down so that they can catch up. They leap, they pounce and they snatch their prey right out of the air. Will the wits of the towns people be enough to stop this unearthly army of spiders before it takes over the world? Don't expect any Oscar consideration for "Freaks", but if you are looking for an amusing and scary fright flick with loads of action, then "Eight Legged Freaks" is your summer must see.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Larger Than Life
Review: Eight-Legged Freaks was inspired by a short film titled Larger Than Life (included on the disk). It is a tale of a spider museum, crickets that have been exposed to toxic waste, and a dying mining town.

Crickets become toxic, crickets get fed to spider collection, spiders grow escape and terrorize. No other movie has down the swarm of giant spiders as well as this one. The effects are superb, the characters clever, and the action builds and runs non-stop.

Add a prodigal son, a paranoid radio personality, a relationship revisited, greed, corruption and more giant spiders than you could ever dream of and you get a fun and wild film. Despite the subject there is little or no gore even though quite a few characters succumb to the ravenous freaks. Currently the king of giant-spider films. An absolute must see for fans of the genre.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Good
Review: Normally, I would not have watched this (it's not my genre). However, we had a paintball scenario based on the movie (it was called "Eight Legged Spiders" to avoid copyright problems). The scenario was fun, so I watched the movie. Pretty good movie. Not too slow. Somewhat predictable, but good for cheering on the home team. Not really gory and not littered with nudity like some others.

Rating: 3 stars
