Arachnia

A small plane crash lands in the woods after a meteor hits nearby and unearths giant spiders. Soon the passengers find themselves battleing the giant bugs with whatever they can find for weapons. There were two things that made this movie almost too cheesy to watch. First, the spiders were done in likes ome form af claymation. I seriously expected Gumbi to jump out at some point! The ither thing was the lead character has obviously watched Army of Darkness too many times and thinks that he's Ash, complete with the red chainsaw. The only thing is this guy is no Bruce Campbell. This guy sucked as an actor.If you really like giant bug movies, check it out, but keep a sense of humor about it. 2.5 out of 5.
