Nothing great but has its moments

In the Spider's Web is another example of late of a movie that I was not expecting much from, but got better than expected. There are some creepy close-ups, a good attempt at a sense of atmosphere, decent scenery and a good concept that apart from a lot of silliness actually does engage at least. Where In the Spider's Web is let down is in the rather fake-looking effects, some very cheesy scripting, clichéd and very underwritten characters, one too many moments where one has to suspend disbelief and acting that doesn't convey much emotion and when tried feels forced. And sadly, while a nice presence Lance Henrikseen is no exception.

All in all, has its moments but to me In the Spider's Web is not a good movie let alone great. 4/10 Bethany Cox
