Professor Alan Whitmore (Roland Wybenga) is sent to Budapest where he is to meet with Professor Roth to finalize the Intextus Project. From the request by his superiors, it is clear there is more to the project than Alan is lead to believe.
On arrival in Budapest, Genevieve (Paola Rinaldi) meets him and takes him to his hotel, and he then goes to Professor Roth. Alan is confused by Roth's strange behaviour, and the next day Roth is found murdered. While Alan is trying to make sense of everything Roth told him, more people start dying. And so Alan and Genevieve start working together to piece together the mystery, but is Genevieve to be trusted?
All the characters - except Alan - were mysterious and purposely set up not to be trusted, making the viewer doubt their intentions. Mrs Kuhn, who runs the hotel where Alan stayed, was an intriguing character who obviously had an ace up her sleeve. Oh, and then there was the mysterious Celia, who appeared to be a cross between a demon and a vampire.
Alan discovers a religious sect called The Weavers are killing people. They are interweaved across the globe like a spider web, and they have real gods. But these gods are truly disgusting things, as we're about to find out. Some of the practical effects truly are gross!
I loved the cinematography - especially the scenes where Alan was riding through a deserted part of town. I enjoyed Roland Wybenga as the confused hero, and I rooted for him when his life became a living nightmare during the final act!
'The Spider Labyrinth' reminded me so much of 'The Beyond' - another Italian horror film from 1981. Although 'The Spider Labyrinth' does not have the ending I was hoping for, it was an entertaining watch with some horrific scenes.
