Horror spiders film without special effects , but simple spiders appearing here and there . It is a routine TV-Movie, but was released theatrically in some countries . In Ecuador, two reckless money-hungry pilots (Tom Atkins, Howard Hesseman) bribe officials in order to fly a load of coffee beans from South America into the United States . To pay off the officials , they sneak aboard three passengers whom they agree to smuggle into the U. S. Later on , the airplane with an unknown cargo: hundreds of deadly Tarantulas or Brazilian wandering Spiders or Banana spiders , crashing on an orange-producing town in California inhabited by peaceful towners (Charles Frank , Deborah Winters , Bert Remsen , Pat Hingle..) , and subsequently some unlucky inhabitants of the town release the poisonous spiders into the mayhem . Then terror and death sweep through a defenseless town
Monster film in which terror has 8 legs with plenty of thrills , chills , spectacular scenes and spider attacks . It's an average spooky terror/monster movie . It is a blending of the monster movies of the 50s such as 'Tarantula' and modern American production in televison style . The thrilling screenplay is a bit yawn-inspiring but nifty spiders will keep you from dozing off , but here neither Animatronics , nor computer visual effects , but actual spiders and enormous Tarantulas . An inferior Spider flick but with good cast , such as : Claude Akins , Charles Frank , Deborah Winters , Bert Remsen , Pat Hingle , Tom Atkins , Howard Hesseman and the little boy Matthew Labyorteaux of The little house on the prairie series. Although nothing which haven't been seen before, this is not the picture to watch if you are scared of spiders , however the movie is entertaining enough , but very mediocre and boring . Utterly arachnophobia people must flee this film. The production is in low budget and the motion picture was regularly directed by Stuart Hagmann . Rating : 4/10 , below average .
Other movies about this Spider sub-genre are the following ones : ¨Tarantula (1955)¨ by Jack Arnold with John Agar ; ¨Tarantula: the deadly cargo (1977)¨ with Claude Akins ; ¨Kingdom of spiders (77)¨ by John Budd Cardos with William Shatner , ¨Arachnophobia(1990)¨ by Frank Marshall with John Goodman , Jeff Daniels , Harley Jane Kozak, Julian Sands ; ¨Arachnid¨ by Jack Sholder with Chris Potter , Jose Sancho , Neus Asensi ; Spiders (2000) by Gary Jones with Lana Parrilla , Josh Green , David Carpenter , Jonathan Btreck ; ¨Spiders II: Breeding Ground¨ (2001) by Sam Firstenberg with Stephanie Niznik , Greg Cromer , Daniel Quinn , Richard Moll ; ¨Eight Legged Freaks¨ (2002) by Ellory Elkayem with Scarlett Johansson , Kari Wuhrer , David Arquette and Spiders 3D (2003) by Tibor Tabaks with Sydney Sweeney , Patrick Muldoon , Christa Campbell , William Hope .
