SYNOPSIS: What do you get when you cross toxic waste with a bunch of exotic spiders?  Eaten!  The townies of Prosperity, Arizona, will all become a screaming smorgasbord if mutated arachnids as big as SUVs have their way in this comedy horror crowd-pleaser!  Spiders that leap like gazelles, web-spitting spiders, spiders that suck your insides out as if through a straw - they're among the behemoths conjured up by an inventive effects team.  David Arquette heads the two-legged stars, mobilizing the citizenry in a last-ditch fight to survive.  Here's hoping they succeed.

EDITORIAL REVIEW: Connecticut native Scott Terra (from Daredevil and Dickie Roberts: Former Child Star) plays Mike Parker, a bug freak geek who spends his afternoons at Josh's - an equally geeky, and strange, keeper of rare and exotic spiders.  The townsfolk of Prosperity, Arizona, are going to need young Mike's help when a toxic waste spill turns spider food into spider steroids and the massive arachnids turn their taste buds on these hillbillies!

Take this movie for what it is - and that's not an award winner!  A shoddy script that's full of holes, and some questionable direction resulted in this film's passing at the 2002 Oscars® (go figure), but if it's silly laughs that don't require much thinking on your part that you seek, then this movie is for you!  I don't think the producers had it in mind that this film would be laughed at, rather than laughed with, but what the hell - they got laughs!

Don't expect much, and you'll like this film.  Enjoy it with your favorite alcoholic beverage for extra fun!
