Eight Legged Freaks

A Film Review By Paul Perkins         (Film Info Click Here)

Campy, Creepy, Funny Totally Fun

The itchy bitty spider when up the water sprout down came the toxic waste and made the spider grown 10 times their normal size. If you like spider or don’t like them after seeing this movie you be scary of them forever. 

Eight Legged Freaks isn’t about you average looking spider. This film is set in a small mining town a van driving down a road carry cans of toxic waster hits the side of the road spills one of the can into the lake. Causing the local spider to become infecting making them grown 10 times their normal size. 

The town folks leading by a Local outcast Chris McCormick (David Arquette), one of the cutest sheriff I have ever seen Sam Parker (Kari Wahrer), her son Mike (Scott Terra), her daughter Ashley (Scarlett Johansson), a crazy radio host Harlan Griffith (Dough E. Doug) and deputy Pete Willis (Rick Overton) must find the source and destroy the spider because the whole town will become there lunch if they don’t stop them. 

Eight Legged Freak was a fun time at the movie I was totally enjoys this film it was so camp, cheese and funny that when I walk out of the film I couldn’t stop talking about the film. 

The film story was very good how the spider got to be like that was a great idea. The spider look cool looking even so you know they are mostly like was down on a computer.. And you know they are not real you still can appreciate all the filmmaker did to bring this film to the big screen. The acting was ok not the greatest acting but with this type of film you don’t expect too much in the acting lines. 

The film did not drag at all and it held my attention from start to finish. This is a type of film that everyone who sees it will get into the film. As did some of the audience member who seen it when I saw it. It helps to make film more fun. Because with this type of film you want to see it with a pack house it make it more fun. 

Overall if you are looking for a fun time at the movie look no farther then Eight Legged Freaks this was a fun movie but be warned fi you hate spider like I do . The spider in this movie will give you the goose bumps.
