Review of Ice Spiders

Ice Spiders (2007 TV Movie)
3/10
CGI Spiders and Skiing!
3 November 2007
Warning: Spoilers
This movie is typical clichéd Sci-Fi channel stock plot. Secret Government Lab creates monsters and unwittingly unleashes them on unsuspecting people. Nice Scientist (who happens to be a babe or a hunk, depending on Gender) assists survivors in fighting off monsters while shadowy government agents proceed to make matters worse.

I am almost positive this has been used about 100 times.

So scoring a "0" for originality, we are left with scoring the other elements.

The acting is mediocre. Patrick Muldoon, who seems to have graduated from the "Shatner School of Acting", is about as wooden as you get. Vanessa Williams (Not the Ex-Miss America) isn't much better. Steven J. Canell is actually the best thing in this movie, and that's like being the leper with the most fingers.

The spiders are obviously fake CGI, and don't really look all that good. I guess you have to give the extras some credit for tromping around in the snow and pretending to have giant spiders jump on them.

You know, there is so much good Science Fiction out there, and the Sci-Fi channel makes this kind of crap because it's cheap.
