BLACK WIDOWS is a straightforward horror story from season three of TALES FROM THE DARKSIDE. In it, an innocent young woman discovers that there's a strange curse affecting the women in her family, namely that they're not actually human but instead giant black widow spiders who prey on the unsuspecting men who become involved with them.
There's no more to the story than that, but I enjoyed the simple effects of the '80s era in this one, and some of the stuff like the giant webs filling bedrooms is effective. Hardly a classic then, but BLACK WIDOWS does have some of the atmosphere of a cheap and cheerful B-movie from the period.
