DVD Reviews of Eight Legged Freaks
DVD Review: Eight Legged Freeks
Summary: 5 Stars
We love this movie, so much so when we misplaced our copy we ordered this one. It is a spoof on spiders. They grow to humongous size and, well, they are funny.DVD Review: GIANT SPIDERS THAT SOUND LIKE CARTOON CHIPMUNKS
Summary: 2 Stars
I would have given this 4 stars for the witty script, excellent cast and marvelous visual effects -- hell, I grew up watching Big Bug movies, and this would have been an excellent example except for the dopy cartoon voices dubbed onto the giant spiders by Frank Welker. Welker's a very talented guy, but his contribution here works to the movie's detriment. The fault is directly traceable to the director, whose New Zealand giant-spider short film LARGER THAN LIFE suffered from the same defect. Obviously, he wants his giant spiders to sound like the Goofy Gophers sucking on helium, probably to keep them from being TOO scary. But that hurts the film. It's got plenty of comedy in the dialogue and characters. If the monsters are goofballs, you've got zero suspense. Despite the powerful visual presence of the giant spiders, they just sound plain ANNOYING with those stupid giggling sound effects! I still give the movie 2 stars because every factor except the dumb spider voices was right on target.
Better luck next time, guys.
DVD Review: GREAT movie!
Summary: 4 Stars
Creepy, fun, edge-of-the-seat movie that I would never part with! I've watched it several times already. This movie made me fond of David Arquette, who I couldn't stand before I saw this movie. The characters are fun and endearing, and I love when David yells the title line of the movie out! Funny every time. Buy it if you like good, clean spookiness. It's a must have! DVD Review: The most important movie since Pulp Fiction
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie is so intense and pulse pounding I almost cried. It is filled with suspense and horror scenes that you will have nightmares for nights. When I saw the spider in the pop-tent, I threw my shoes across the theater in glee.DVD Review: Best spider movie of all time!
Summary: 5 Stars
Hands down, this is the best spider movie out there to this day. Its funny, sometimes scray, and action pack, and along for the ride are terrific special effects. Believe or not, the spiders 'talk'. Well, they don't really talk, all they really make are squeaky voices, which are supposed to be their 'talking' voice. Anyway, the film doesn't take its self seriously. And thank god it doesn't. If it had, it would have sucked balls. Check this creature feature, you won't be disapponted.
PS: I'm over 13, but I figured this was easier. Oh and by the way, I'm beggining to write the sequel.

Description of Eight Legged Freaks
A variety of horrible poisonous spiders get exposed to a noxious chemical which causes them to grow to monumental proportion. Studio: Warner Home Video Release Date: 12/12/2006 Starring: Kari Wuhrer Scott Terra Run time: 99 minutes Rating: Pg13 Director: Ellory ElkayemIn the grand tradition of atomic-age monster movies, Eight Legged Freaks delivers everything you'd want from a giant-spider thriller. The plot's hardly original, but familiarity is half the fun, beginning when toxic waste results in a stampede of gigantic, ravenous arachnids in the depressed mining town of Liberty, Arizona. David Arquette is Liberty's prodigal son, returning to save the town from greedy developers, and to reunite with the lovely local sheriff (Kari Wuhrer), whom he never stopped loving. Before long they're saving the town from a teeming horde of jumbo-size "jumpers," "orb-weavers," tarantulas, and other eight-legged beasties, brought to life by digital effects that are consistently fantastic. Though not quite as witty as the similarly exciting Tremors, this "arach-attack" offers a deft balance of creepy shocks, sight gags, and tongue-in-cheek satire. Cleverly expanding his New Zealand short "Larger Than Life," first-time director Ellory Elkayem gives genre fans and arachnophobes a giddy nightmare they won't soon forget. --Jeff Shannon
