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.

Yes, it is in French and I had no idea what they were saying, found some subtitles to go with it and that helped, heaps, for me anyway.
This is a rather funny and well done comedy-spoof of some of the super hero movies that have been around lately. I wish that I had seen this earlier. I've only recently start watching non-English movies, with subtitles - I guess there's a few to catch up on.
Surprisingly, Philippe Lacheau, Wrote, directed and starred in this and did a fantastic job, in my opinion, it is rare that combination works. Well done.
If you enjoy a spoof, then you will get your fix without it being too much. I would recommend this.

The release year of The Bayou (2025) states that it was 2025. Ok, but why on earth is such a movie like this produced in this day-and-age? With an estimated budget of $5 million (unconfirmed) I doubt that they saw a return out of this move.
Madalena Aragão (Alice) reminded me of Kaya Scodelario in her looks, I had to do some searching on that, as it happens, Kaya was in the movie Crawl (2019) which was about gators. Crawl was a better movie.
Anyway, overall The Bayou was just ok, but below average for a 2025 movie. Athena Strates (Kyle) didn't quiet convince me that she was a gator expert. Elisha Applebaum (Malika) worked her magic and totally convinced me to dislike her character, so well done there, Elisha.
Other actors trying to do their bit were Mohammed Mansaray (Sam) seemed to be confused whether he had to be the comedic relief or a wanna be hero. The crazed pilot, Frank (Andonis Anthony), was not convincing at being a leader. Tayla Kovacevic-Ebong (Dom) was probably the hero, or close to one.
Overall, the effects were not too bad, the story and acting are what you would expect from the B movie. Would I recommend this? A few beers or wine and it is a yes.
