Is she a barfly or a bar spider????, 14 April 2005
3/10
Author: tamstrat from United States

Shall I say not one of Dan Curtis' best made for TV horror film. This is a strange little movie about the danger of picking up strangers in bars, no you won't get an STD but you might just get killed and wrapped up in a spider's web. This story was bizarre even by 1977 Dan Curtis standards. I usually love anything Patty Duke is in, but I don't know what she had been smoking or snorting when she agreed to appear in this mess. This involves twins, spiders, police, plane wrecks and houses burning down and some other calamities I just have blacked out of my head. Certainly not the worse movie I have ever seen, but not even really funny. I loved Dan Curtis's Kolchak the Night Stalker movies and series, but this is just a little much.
