User Reviews

Well at least It's not Eight-Legged Freaks bad

An earthquake unleashes giant spiders upon New Orleans. Giant fire-breathing spiders. Yup must be time once again for another SyFy original movie. And what would one of these be without some old TV and movie stars (here we get Tracey Gold from Growing Pains, Ethan Phillips from Benson, and Edward Furlong fitting the bill)

As far as SyFy films go, this one isn't half-bad. I enjoyed it to an extant because of its utter ridiculousness. The acting wasn't too grating (besides one scene where a few annoying characters would not stop sobbing) And it passes the same question I've asked myself from 2002 onward of giant spider movies which is " Is it worse than Eight-Legged Freaks?" and the answer is no it isn't, but I haven't found a giant spider film that is yet.
