Another Roger Corman film and by good does it look as bad as always.  This just looks funny as hell.  Asylum, take note.  This is how you a good b-movie.

Whose checking this one out?

I saw it.  Awful, awful, awful - in a great way!!!
No vintage Corman nudity, though!

It's just really awful and predictable. Brian Krause delivers his usual wooden performance (I say that with all due respect 'cause I did watch Charmed). It was clearly inspired by the William Shatner classic Kingdom of the Spiders, too bad it's not as good. But, since I love bad movies, I'd be lying if I said I didn't enjoy it. I'd rate it 3 for a good movie and a 7 for bad one.

I'll catch this one when it hits SyFy Channel (which should be any minute now). Looks like a hoot. Even though I frickin' HATE spiders... ugh...

I will have to watch this.  Looks like a modern redo of Valley of the Spiders. :bouncegiggle: :bouncegiggle: :bouncegiggle:  Love the bad CGI.

Later,

It's true! Solifugids, aka Camel Spiders, Sun Spiders, Wind Scorpions are a much-maligned arachnid family related to spiders and scorpions, but not falling into either category.  Because they can reach fairly large sizes and deliver a painful (though non-venomous) bite, they've been the subject of dozens of different urban legends, ranging from their eggs incubating in the bellies of camels, to their bite secreting a numbing anesthetic so they can eat your whole foot while you sleep without waking you, to that they scream and can run faster than a Humvee.
