Noting in the cast and credits behind the camera a number of folks named Brodie
I imagine this was something that star Steve Brodie had a lot to do with. The
veteran character player got his whole family involved including son Kevin who
had a bit of a career himself.
I imagine the best of Hollywood's talents were not available to the Brodies. Cheesy special effects and a story that left a lot to be desired, The Giant Spider Invasion is not the best of science fiction out there.
I'm not sure of the science fact that's supposed to underline this story. A black hole which travels like meteor collides with earth and the hole opens up. Out come a lot of spiders and as they eat they grow. Big ones, small ones, some as big as house. All a bit much for the local sheriff Alan Hale, Jr. to deal with. The former skipper of the S.S. Minow is used to breaking up drag races and arresting drunks to sleep it off in his tank.
Scientists Steve Brodie and Barbara Hale are on the job. But in the meantime these growing arachnids are wreaking havoc in rural Wisconsin.
I think the Brodie family was trying for a satire that at best was a hit or miss proposition.
