(rated PG-13)
Do you hate spiders? Do you really hate spiders? Well they hate you too. Producer Roland Emmerich (Independence Day, Godzilla) is at it again. When toxic waste ends up in a pond, some southwest creatures become big. Real big. Too big. Before you know it we have “Tremors” Spider style and that’s pretty much the plot in its entirety. What do you get when you cross toxic waste with a bunch of spiders? Eaten! David Arquette stars as mining engineer Chris McCormick who battles the blood-thirsty beasts with the Sheriff (Kari Wuhrer) and a bunch of locals. The special effects are nifty and old movie quality but it’s the laughable, campy script that makes this Arquette driven sci-fi thriller work and puts him back on the map as a good actor. If that’s even possible.
