Rated PG-13 For Language, Violence, Gore-ish...
Starring Greg Grunberg, Clare Kramer, Ray Wise, Lombardo Boyar
Directed by Mike Mendez
The Story:
Alex (Grunberg) is an exterminator who gets bit by a brown recluse spider. He goes to the hospital for his shot, and learns that there is something very sinister roaming the hospital grounds. He teams with Jose (Boyar) the head of security and the two begin looking for something that is on the loose. Meanwhile, the Army shows up to wrangle an experiment gone wrong. To stop this spider, the Major (Wise) and Lieutenant (Kramer) may just need Alex's help to stop...
The Big Ass Spider!
Loved it.
A B movie horror comedy that takes itself seriously enough, but still has fun with the premise.
Add a buddy cop movie with great interplay between Alex and Jose, that elevates the picture even more.
That they are able to attempt to squeeze a romantic angle in to boot?
Well done.
The CGI effects on the spider are actually pretty good as well.
Forget Sharknado and all the other SyFy garbage films, we need more like this.
Final Grade: B+
Rewatchability/Purchase Factor: I would be willing to do either, and both.
