This movie is engaging way before we see the spider. It has great acting and excellent character development. It deal with a mother's terrible guilt, loss and drug dependency as well as other issues with (Bruce Davidson's) character. The special effects are well done and allows you to stay in the moment. Bad effects take me right out of it.

Not a bad movie, but not great either. I enjoyed it, but not nearly as much as I would have if they had made the characters more likeable. The movie centered around a family consisting of a mother young son and daughter. It was hard to care about the mother, the son was just okay, and the daughter was sort of annoying. And really, with a giant spider lurking around in your home, who would let their daughter run around wearing fairy wings that make her look like a big fly to a spider! The only really likeable character in the film was the lady sheriff, and she didn't really get much screen time. The redeeming feature of the movie was the scariness of the spider scenes. But if you're a science fiction fan like me, ad find spiders scary, than like me, you'll probably look past the flaws of this movie and enjoy it anyway.

This movie wasn’t as bad as I thought it was going to be. Very cheesy but, worth a watch if you’re into horror movies. The spider in the film is pretty over the top. But, again worth seeing if you’re into horror movies and have time to spare.

This film is as much about a struggling family as it is about the spider. The mother in the film is trying to come to terms with a tragedy and raise her 2 children. That leads her to take an "in home nursing" job with an artifacts collector. She is also battling addiction as a result of the personal tragedy her and her family have endured. So this is the films structure. Half is a drama and half is horror. When you do see the action with the spider the scenes are excellent. I feel the director was trying to be a step above an average horror film.

Another creature feature to add to the collection. Was a fun movie night although it won’t be liked by everyone. I would recommend watching it first via streaming or rental before buying.
