SPIDER WOMAN is a low budget Thai horror film based on local legends. It's a derivative piece of work, with lots of villagers wandering around and interacting and very little horror content, aside from an old witch spouting curses. There is some atmosphere built up along the way, but the scares are subdued and the attempts at horror are distinctly half-hearted. This is a far cry from the kind of full-blooded horror that South East Asia used to make in the 1970s and '80s.
