Just when they seemed to be outgunned, the attack suddenly stops...and their would-be assassins are dragged off by what a native liaison calls "the devils of the sand." Wounded in the battle, Sturges earns a ticket back home to the more hospitable deserts of the Southwestern United States. Bringing back one of his fallen comrades, Sturges doesn't realize that a couple of camel spiders stowed

Unfortunately not one of Corman's more notable movies.

You know precisely what you're getting from Camel Spiders. Which means you'll probably watch it some time soon.

I always root for the bad guy to get eaten by the monster, but I rarely look forward to the good guys being devoured. This film had me longing to see most of the characters under a pile of bad CGI, man-eating spiders, especially the little girl. This is a bad movie, made to be a bad movie, but it was so bad that it wasn't even good bad. That being said, there was still a moderate amount of flying blood and gore to earn it a star or two. I know C. Diddy isn't the greatest actor in the world, but he's not bad either. Why, oh why, movie gods, doesn't he find better roles?

They can run up to thirty miles per hour. They can grow as large as one foot long. And they can jump up to three feet high. If you believe any of these myths, then CAMEL SPIDERS is the film for you! Taken from the rumors of a giant monstrous arachnid that plagues marines in the Middle East, Roger Corman's latest monster mash follows the citizens of a small desert town who come under attack by a species of deadly spiders that have been brought back from Iraq. CAMEL SPIDERS never asks to be taken seriously, and follows Corman's usual formula that spreads out the action and gore in even intervals to maintain just enough interest for people to sit through the rest of the mindless plot. The acting is better than usual, with enjoyable leads played by THE HITCHER's C. Thomas Howell and Brian Krause of Charmed and SLEEPWALKERS. On the other hand, the computerization used to bring the spiders to life is entirely unconvincing, as the creatures hardly interact with the actors or environments. There is plenty of bloodshed to go around, however, ranking CAMEL SPIDERS just above DINOSHARK and SUPERGATOR.
