A killer spider catches a lift to a small American town, where it breeds and starts to take over.
This is the kind of movie that makes you think every itch is a spider. Not for those terrified of spiders, but not too scary either. This is another light monster movie that is a bit more realistic (normal size spiders). It has a great story and is lots of fun. (Beware if you get nightmares easily, this may affect children as well)
This a fun movie, as the good guys win and its not really dark and spooky, but a bit more light.
