While Sam Raimi's "Spiderman" was the famous 2002 release dealing with arachnids, there was another one. Ellory Elkayem's blatantly silly "Eight Legged Freaks" is an homage to the 1950s movies about giant bugs, with an element of "Gremlins".
The plot involves spiders exposed to toxic waste growing to giants and wreaking havoc. Unlike most movies about arthropods, here we learn a bit about spiders, both their body structure and how they operate. Oh, and there's a scene of Scarlett Johansson that's sure to arouse all the boys.
Basically, this is a proudly ridiculous movie. Looks like the sort of movie that they had a lot of fun making. I figure that the world's arachnophobes will want to avoid it like the plague, but the rest of us will be able to enjoy it.
So is your spidey sense tingling?
