What Has Eight Legs and Puts You to Sleep? "Spiders"

They've got their eyes on you...

The Story:

A space station falls prey to a spider science experiment gone awry.  A piece of the shuttle crashes to Earth in New York, and the spiders are released in the subway system.  Extremely venomous, and now released from their zero gravity environment, the spiders get really big... and even more dangerous.  Even the Army may be no match for these monsters!

Naturally, all of this story takes place where a supervisor at the Transit Authority (Patrick Muldoon) spends most of the movie fighting with his ex wife and trying to save his daughter from being a spider snack.

This movie actually had an interesting premise for awhile.  Plus while the spiders were normal sized, there was some suspense and general creepiness of having spiders roaming around.  The first half of the movie was actually suspenseful...

Then the spiders got bigger... then they got bigger still.  

Then the spiders would growl like dogs.

Then they revealed the queen...

Then the shark was jumped.

At that point it just became an exercise in how long it would take for the movie to end.

Happy that Muldoon was able to make a house payment though.

Final Grade: D+... the first half and the idea they started with... C-

Rewatchability/Purchase Factor: No thanks, I'll just wait for the inevitable sequel and see if that's any better.
