This is the tale of the very cruel joke played upon a young man by Fate. Against horrifying odds he triumphs and retains his dignity. In so doing, this film is raised from being a merely superior monster movie to one of strangely spiritual significance.
The special effects are still pleasing and the tarantula remains one of Cinema's truly terrifying embodiments of mindless evil.
This was to be Grant William's finest film. He died in 1985 at the age of only 54.
