Earth vs. the Spider (2001) Reviews

Member Rating:

This film was part of Cinemax's Creature Feature films, which remade classic American-International monster films from the '50s. Quentin Kimmer (Devon Gummersall) believes he will turn himself into his idol, the Arachnid Avenger, when he injects himself with spider serum. As with Jeff Goldblum's character in Cronenberg's remake of The Fly, Kimmer mutates into a frightening monster. Dan Aykroyd, Theresa Russell, and Christopher Cousins round out this effort from Scott Ziehl. ~ Perry Seibert, Rovi

This movie is a remake of the 1958 not-so-classic movie of the same name. Somehow in 43 years, they managed to not improve 1 single thing. Plus it's a TV remake, so that is always worse. It's not really the same movie, but the poor execution is very similar. The movie has poor special effects, terrible acting, horrible dialogue, and it's a overall cheesy tone ruin everything. This is one to be missed. What was Dan Aykroyd thinking? This had to be a straight paycheck movie.
