Spiders on a Plane

Outside of their theatrical outings beginning with Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey, this is by far the only good direct-to-home film they have done and honestly their best yet. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a good time. Although, I will warn you, if you are arachnophobic in anyway conceivable way, skip this at all costs.

The cast is superb, the visual effects are decent, and there are some rather grisly kills for those hardcore horror enthusiasts. I will admit, at first I thought this would be as bad as their other works, but now I have seen it fully, and it's fabulous.

One of my biggest bugbears is the general quality of extras in films and TV. It seems to be that no matter the calibre of the leads in the film in question, it's physically impossible to find those who are even remotely capable of acting like a normal person in normal life go about their day in the background.

I IMPLORE YOU TO LOOK NO FURTHER.

The lad who seems to sleep whilst there is a torrent of spider-led destruction and massacre going on around him at 40 mins is better at acting asleep than I actually look like when I truly sleep. Why I know how I look when I sleep is by-the-by, but I was totally blown away. The look of over-the-shoulder incredulity when the spider had a whoopsie (I didn't know spiders could drool so the only option is this was spider-jizz, so his expression was absolutely fitting for the scenario) just rounded off the performance. Watch this space and Ryan Gosling - look out!

The rest of the film was meh. But that lad. Superb.

At around 1 hour and 16 minutes there were tears, tears of joy. That's right 1 hour 16 minutes until the end of the movie, then you can cry with joy too.

Anyway, Spiders on a Plane was obviously meant to be based on 2006's Snakes on a Plane (2006), but on a fraction of the budget, and it shows. The genre for this effort was listed as Action, Adventure & Horror - I think they should have included Comedy too, the attempt was there with silly sound effects that made it feel cringe more than funny.

Zack (Gaston Alexander) was supposed to be the comic relief here, but he came across as an actor that hasn't acted before. I suppose that the same could be said about the rest of the cast too. I'm guessing that Jenna N. Wilson (Stewardess) was glad to be out of way early on. Lauren Budd (Beth) was the eye-candy and certainly did look the part.

Maybe I missed what Ben Daly (Writer) and Ben J. Williams (Director) were aiming for. Although I didn't totally dislike the movie, I wouldn't recommend it.

Ignore the 10 star reviews. It's a classic C grade I was fooled into thinking was a hidden monster gem by these reviews...

It's poorly acted and poorly written. It's horrible to look at and worse to listen to...

If you like trashy movies this is fun (I got a good laugh)...

But it is NOT a good movie...

There are moments of so bad it's good that redeem it enough to be worthy of 3 stars... but even that is a stretch...

You can tell the cast did the best they could with what they had...

But in particular the randomness of events alone blows out any form of comprehension and makes for a confusing ride.

3/10 at a push.

Anyone who thinks this move is bad, does not have a sense of humour

It's hilarious, made me smile and I'm a tough contender for knowing funny

8 legged freaks, snakes on a plane, Sean of the dead vibe

Spiders on Airplane!

It's perfectly orchestrated It's a lot of fun

Don't listen to them fools who don't know a good movie they only want attention and we don't need the negativity let's just enjoy.

For a groundbreaking achievement, with a lot of new faces, not relying on recognised personalities like samuel Jackson

Its proper satire

It's all gravy bubs.
