Goofs

The close-ups of the spiders' faces show two eyes; the shots from the spiders' point of view imply binocular vision. Most species of spiders have eight eyes. Even with genetic manipulation to increase their size, the number of eyes is not something that would change.

User Reviews

Left me cold

SyFy have certainly done worse movies, but that is no consolation seeing as to me Ice Spiders was awful. Stephen J. Cannell was the sole "enjoyable" spot of the movie, everything else stank like yesterday's garbage. It isn't a SyFy movie without fake special effects, haphazard editing and lazy direction, and Ice Spiders has all of those. And that's not all, those thinking that there will be clichéd characters, cheesy and aimless dialogue and a dull and predictable story, won't be disappointed. Likewise with the acting, especially from Patrick Muldoon.

Overall, a poor movie that left me cold. I've seen worse, but that's not excusing Ice Spiders' awfulness. 2/10 Bethany Cox
