Product Description

Low-budget sci-fi horror. After a meteorite crashes to earth near a small Wisconsin town, NASA picks up evidence of abnormally high radiation levels and sends out a team of scientists to investigate. Meanwhile, the locals are intrigued to find strange cobwebs covering the ground near the meteor site. This is just the first sign that the meteor has brought with it deadly alien 50-foot spiders, determined to wipe out life on Earth.

2.0 out of 5 starsLet down by picture quality
By Rokkit on 1 Mar. 2011
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
I'm a great fan of these old creature features,but was a bit disappointed with this one. The film itself is great,and I was surprised to see that it's in colour as I expected it to be B+W,but the film's picture quality is not so good. There appear to be several issues of this film,and on the one I have there's far too much contrast on the picture. In nightime scenes you can't see anything at all,and it's often difficult to see what's going on even in the daylight scenes due to the pronounced shadows. Altogether a typical and entertaining film of the genre,but spoilt quite a bit by the poor picture resolution.

3.0 out of 5 starsThe giant spider invasion of 1975
By Daniel Jolley HALL OF FAMETOP 500 REVIEWER on 26 Feb. 2006
Format: DVD
The title's a bit ambiguous, isn't it? I mean, is this a giant invasion of spiders, or is it an invasion by a single giant spider? As it turns out, it's a little bit of both. It's also a pretty lousy B-movie ripe for heckling, as the boys at MST3K certainly proved - in retrospect, this one was almost too easy. When you start the dialogue with Alan "Skipper" Hale greeting a visitor to his sheriff's office with the words "little buddy," you know this isn't going to be an exercise in mental acuity. If you've never seen any of the Gilligan's Island gang in their post-Gilligan movie careers, consider yourself lucky because it isn't pretty (although nothing can approach the ignominy of Jim Backus in Angels' Revenge - a film that also featured Alan Hale).
This film takes place in the ultra-exciting surroundings of the Wisconsin countryside. Apparently, the big invasion either got off-course or the invaders were looking for easy pickings (or perhaps they just really, really like cheese). The invaders have a fairly explosive arrival, but no one seems to care very much - except the sheriff, who quickly gets annoyed with all the reports of cars and electrical gizmos suddenly not working that night. The next day, the biggest rube in Wisconsin finally meanders out into his field to find some mutilated cows and mysterious rocks. These rocks start turning up everywhere, and - amazingly - no one seems to notice the fact that really hairy spiders crawl out of the things when they finally burst. A local scientist does care about all of the unusual scientific readings she is suddenly getting in the area, and her reports encourage NASA to send out a greasy scientist to see what's what.Read more ›

1.0 out of 5 starsThe Boulevard Entertainment DVD
By A. W. Wilson TOP 500 REVIEWER on 8 Feb. 2014
Format: DVD
If in doubt about my veracity in giving 1 star, do check some of my other reviews and you will see I don't give 1 star...Except here. Make no mistake - this is a genuinely bad film. Hopeless direction, script, photography (the climax is so dark it's almost impossible to follow), and sadly, with what seemed a good cast (Brodie/Hale, Alan and Barbara), this is a disaster from start to finish. Please take this seriously. IT'S A BAD FILM! Not recomended to anyone. I got it for £2 at a Film Fair, but the price here on Amazon is monstrous. I think I have made my point clear.

5.0 out of 5 starsSpiders spiders spiders
By Amazon Customer on 20 Jan. 2016
Format: Amazon Video Verified Purchase
I've never seen better spiders. 10/10 for spiders. Would highly recommend for the spiders. The special effects were out of this world and the science was really well researched. I believed them! And the spiders were great. The sheriff was a hoot. And the spiders.

1.0 out of 5 starsTerrible!
By Mr. Barry J. Evans on 3 May 2013
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
I've recently been collecting b-movies and decided to buy this one as it appeared in the recommendations.

Usually with these movies I like the fact they're so bad they're actually good, but this is just bad!

Not really a plot to follow, terrible effects and acting and I was glad when the movie had finished!

I don't think I'll be watching this again!
