Overview

A large spider from the jungles of South America is accidentally transported in a crate with a dead body to America where it mates with a local spider. Soon after, the residents of a small California town disappear as the result of spider bites from the deadly spider offspring.

Viewing Notes

One of my favorite movies of 1990 finally arrives on Blu Ray! Considering it’s last release was a shitty non-anamorphic DVD, this HD remaster is a revelation.

Frank Marshall does his best Spielberg impersonation here (it is produced by Spielberg) but I’m not complaining. One of the last great non-CGI films, the use of real spiders is insanely effective.
