Storyline
| Plot Summary |
With the old days of glamour long forgotten, Colton West, the once popular movie star and action hero from the 90s, is now reduced to acting in low-budget movies about horrific bugs. But when suddenly, a swarm of earthquakes hits Southern California, a string of unprecedented events, chaos and lava will give birth to a new breed of lava-breathing arachnids, forcing Colton to find his family before it's too late. Once more, this intrepid man of action will have to do what he knows best, armed only with a shotgun and the will to survive. However, what can a single man do against an endless army of monstrous Lavalantula's? Written by Nick Riganas |

Did You Know?
| Trivia | Steve Guttenberg invited his Police Academy (1984) co-stars Michael Winslow, Marion Ramsey and Leslie Easterbrook to appear alongside him, after producers told Steve he could choose any of his past colleagues to star alongside him in the film. This was also the reason for the hiring of Steve's friends Nia Peeples from Tower of Terror (1997) and Patrick Renna from The Big Green (1995). See more » |
| Goofs | On one of the interviews, the people passing by in the background is the same all the time just going back and forth. See more » |
