An interesting idea with a mixture of Eight Legged Freaks, Tarantula and Mimic. Sadly really badly done.
The spiders were not bad apart from the fact spiders don't have teeth and growl but one has to suspend belief a bit with these kinds of movie so that's no big deal.
No the worst part of this tripe is the acting. Or lack of it. It actually contains several 'actor's who once appeared in decent films with Gorman from Aliens and the pilot in Starship Troopers. But acting had a day off for this and we were reduced to some of the worst non acting in a film ever.
Not just the leads but those who had bit parts and even extra's. People were standing around waiting for their cue with a look of total disinterest on their faces. Leads delivering lines like they were reading them from cue cards that had ran in the rain. Watch the cop waving people out of the subway who looks bored stiff and waves even when there is nobody to wave. The soldiers look less realistic than ones you could find in boxes back in the 70s. Those plastic ones had more acting ability.
But the worst acting goes to the lady who played the wife and the woman who was the doctor doing the autopsy. If you are getting paid for these kind of useless films the least you can do is look mildly interested for the audience.
Yes it's a low budget effort and most of the cash spent on the spiders but acting ability is important if you plan to charge people a tenner when you flog this as a DVD.
The ending which was swiped from Mimic was pretty dull and the most terrifying thing about Spiders is the very real threat of a Spiders 2.
