    • Trivia
      When Colton (Steve Guttenberg), Chris (Patrick Renna), and Pirate Jack (Ralph Garman) are driving in the pirate car, Jack exclaimed, "Owwww. They took out The Blue Oyster. I love that place." This was a reference to the infamous gay bar found in the Police Academy films.

    Fun, throwaway non-horror about lava-based arachnid monsters threatening Los Angeles
    RELEASED TO TV IN 2015 and directed by Mike Mendez, "Lavalantula" chronicles events in Los Angeles when volcanic activity releases fire-breathing arachnids the size of people. Steve Guttenberg plays a B-movie actor who rises to the challenge of annihilating the creatures. Nia Peebles plays his wife, Noah Hunt his son and Michael Winslow his pardner. There are a lot of familiar faces.

    This is a fun, tongue-in-cheek non-horror flick with great Los Angeles locations and the expected cartoony CGI, but it never becomes more than that. Peebles looks great, but the movie never really takes advantage of her presence. The Hollywood strip sequence is arguably the best part. The movie is entertaining to a point, but at the end of the day it's a forgettable throwaway flick.

    THE FILM RUNS 83 minutes and was shot in Los Angeles and Hollywood. WRITERS: Neil Elman, Mendez & Ashley O'Neil.

    GRADE: C/C- (4.5/10)
