Who better to combat evil spiders than William Shatner!
Plot Summary:
In the rural town of Camp Verde, Arizona, local veterinarian
Rack Hansen investigates the mysterious deaths of farm animals.
He discovers that the animals have been killed by a massive dose
of spider venom, leading him to collaborate with entomologist
Diane Ashley. They soon uncover that the town is in the path of
a migrating horde of aggressive tarantulas, whose natural food
sources have been depleted by pesticides. As the spiders
overwhelm the town, terrorizing the residents and cutting them
off from the outside world, Hansen and a small group of
survivors barricade themselves in a lodge, fighting for their
lives.
Dad's Preview:
This scary movie was always a good watch on TV... same goes for DVD nite! Sure it's
campy, but there's always fun when spiders are wrapping folks in
webs. It may make your skin crawl, but that's the fun of it.
(PSA: some spiders might have been killed during filming)
