Review of Eight Legged Freaks

This is a parody of the old B-movies of the 50's, concerning gigantic animals, mostly spiders. It's filled with corny humor and cheesy special effects, which only help to make it a funnier spoof movie. It spoofs a few other well-known movies too, there are references to Indiana Jones, Tarzan and the likes. The plot is far-fetched and extremely cheesy, but it's all in context with the very theme of the movie. The acting is mostly not very convincing, but it once again fits perfectly. Half of the actors are not exactly A-list actors, so they did OK, in my opinion. The characters are either cliches, caricatures or stereotypes, which makes sense, considering it's just a spoof movie. The special effects are pretty good, not great, but good. They definitely fit with the movie perfectly. Something I found particularly funny was the cheesy sound effects and the nice touches that contained great humor; most of the spiders seem to have their own unique personality, which is shown by a collaboration of campy sound effects and comical movements by the spiders. I would recommend this to any person who enjoys spoof movies, especially ones which contain campy humor; I'd also recommend it to anyone who's seen one or more of the old "giant spiders" movies, and couldn't take it seriously. 7/10
