Written by Gregory Gieras. Directed by Mike Mendez (Gravedancers)
Starring Greg Grunberg, Clare Kramer, Ray Wise, Lin Shaye and Lombardo Boyar (who steal the whole show as “Jose”!)
Plot: A giant spider escapes from a military lab and only an exterminator and a security guard can stop it!
This movie is very funny. We love the cast but especially we love, love , love Jose. It has pretty good special effects for a giant spider movie. It wasn’t scary to us at all but we can see where people with a fear of spiders might be terrified.
This is my 2nd favorite giant insect movie and the both involve Ray Wise lol (Infestation).
All in all a really fun movie, that may not be for everyone but it made me laugh and it made me care about the characters which a lot of movies lack for me nowadays. Not an excellent movie by any means but easily watchable and it pleasurably kills an hour and half.
Tara did not like it as much as I did, she gave it a 58/100 and I gave it a 69/100

We have to ask what happened to the baby spiders. They also totally left it open to a giant cockroach sequel which I completely could not handle.
10 Things That Make Me DJVoorhees.
1. My favorite food is pepperoni pizza. From the East Coast of course.
2. My most prized possession is a replica of the Hellraiser puzzle box. My sister haggled the price for me, but she still doesn't like touching the thing.
3. My dream job would be to nurse and rehabilitate wild animals.
4. My favorite comic books of all time follow the X-Men. I can never pick just one title.
5. My dream house would be all one story, have a huge back yard for my dogs, 2 coy ponds, a panic system, a solar array, a game room, a movie theatre, 3 different kitchens, an indoor swimming pool and a giant wall surrounding the whole damn thing.
6. If I could have magical powers I'd want something involving matter manipulation. I could do something small like remove a freckle or do something huge like throwing a massive planet at someone.
7. "Pale Blue Eyes" by The Velvet Underground is currently my favorite song.
8. If I won the lottery tomorrow, I'd start building that big old dream house I was talking about.
9. Creepy, sickly, old women scare me. Think "Zelda" from Pet Sematary, "Mrs. Kersh" from IT, and "The Countess" from Black Sabbath.
10. My first pet ever was a bunny named Buffy. Yes, after the vampire slayer. The movie, not the show.
