Aracnofobia

Exiting, creepy, fast-paced thriller. Highly recommend!

Man, this movie gives me the creeps! Every time I watch Arachnophobia, I feel like there's something crawling on me. It's a fun mix of horror and comedy, with a relatable cast and creature effects that are still highly impressive decades after this movie was made. This is a good option for people who don't like the supernatural, but still want to watch something scary.

Yes, I said it.

6.5 is criminal.

You're all under arrest.

Entertaining from start to finish.

You will never take a shower the same again.

This movie was great then. This movie is great now.

I have no clue why anyone would hate on it.

I've spent a year waiting on this movie on Prime to drop from $20 to $4.99 and it finally has.

Haha! It's mine now!

And I will enjoy it over and over again!

Daniels is brilliant. No small parts. Casting is great.

Goodman is just icing on the cake.

If you didn't enjoy this - you need a therapist, not IMDB.

If you're looking for a movie to make every random touch of your skin having you jump - this is it.

I like Arachnophobia for different reasons than usual- I love its setting. Small town western coastal town, bathed in sunlight suddenly gets invaded by poisonous spiders from South America. This is a good enough film and Jeff Daniels is more than adequate as the lead everyday guy. Frank Marshall has an affinity with nature- He also directed Congo and Eight Below and this film suits his sensibility. I doubt if anyone except extreme arachnophobiacs would be scared. Go watch it for a good ride.

Spiders are not a favorite of many people, something about eight legs does not appeal to the masses. The movie Arachnophobia plays on the fears of an audience, while mixing in enough humor to engage the viewer with a standard horror story. Jeff Daniels plays a big city doctor who moves out into the country to take over the practice of the soon-to-be retiring doctor who has served for about 140 years or so. The Daniels' character is also scared of spiders, so when killer spiders enter the town, we have the standard ingredients to the standard horror movie. The spiders look convincing enough to scare almost anybody, and the exterminator, played by John Goodman, offers enough jokes to lead to an entertaining movie. There is nothing Earth-shattering about the film, but for popcorn season, this movie will not disappoint.
