Spider from the Attic

As i have said before, when the writer is the Director, dont expect much and thats what we have here. There needs to be a "common sence person" position in film making. Yup, a person whos responcibility is to call out the garbage as it happens so it can be corrected, thus avoiding a cluster fk like we have here.

An aging woman needs to dial things up as her tv show is losing ratings. She decides on a road trip to interview a Doctor doing experiments on Animals. Ok, doesnt contact the guy in advance, shows up without a film crew? Serious rookie writer? Oh this is going to be a great tv show! Ok, dude is dead. Spiders all over, they decide to stay for awhile?

Ok, a fresh decent idea for a movie. Bad script leaves actors on their own. More or less unknown cast, other then Chelsea Greenwood who i have seen before & who does a great job here, as usual. The movie does have cool set location and decent camera work. The lighting isnt too good and the sound is horribile. You cant watch this late night. I had my 5.1 100 watt per channel cranked just to try and understand the whispering by folks with extreme accents. Gather 6 Cajun people from the Louisiana Bayou mix the sound so everything is twice as load as the vocals, thats about what you have here. The sound folks killed this movie. Ok, CGI on par to maybe stuff being done in the early 90s? Yeah, a good 35 years behind. Made it look like an early Full Moon movie. Its just like landscaping. If you cant afford to do it right, then make other plans. The cheesey spiders put this in the sub B movie bracket.

The ending. As thought money ran out and the credits roll. Much like many Hammer films. At home we refer to this as a "Hammer ending". You endure 90 minutes, then in the last 2 minutes everything is resolved. Just like most films of the 1930s.

Is short, the Common Sence person would have been all over this. Maybe i need to start a business? Producers Ego Deflating LLC?

Its just amazing how folks can do this and really feel that its good. Unfortunately there are many people making movies that just arent very good at it.

I suffer from arachnophobia and this movie gave the the willies a bit. Mostly the HUGE cobwebs that none of the actors seem to notice. LOL The FX weren't great and I don't know if that was a spider or a scorpion or a bat???

The story could have been interesting, but the writing was dull filled with STUPID character actions and the acting was horrific and the ending was beyond lame. Maybe you fans of BAD Schlocky horror will enjoy watching and laughing at this movie. But if your a serious horror fan, then just PASS on this, cause it really has no BITE! :(

A spider is creepy because it's creepy. The makers did not realize that a spider is a winning team already. They have tried to make the spiders more creepy. As a result the spiders became laughable. Haha.

I only created this account so I can say. WHAT THE HELL KIND OF ENDING WAS THAT!!!! The whole moved was hyped to the big guy at the end. Then Bam, It ends!!

I'll admit, I was scared s#%^*less in the first scene because the thought of looking at a spider of film terrified me. Once I worked up the courage and actually looked up, seeing the terrible SG spiders calmed my nerves. Bad acting and bad plot also helped ruin it. Gave it a two for the initial shock. There are better things to watch.
