It sneaks up on you like a hungry tarantula with a wicked appetite for people.

Kingdom of the Spiders plays just as good and just as fun as it always has. This, as far as we're concerned, is the very first MUST HAVE horror DVD package of 2010.

... a perfectly serviceable (if never quite memorable) little film with... a cast of hundreds of real tarantulas swarming over the screen and, often, the cast members.

William Shatner battles spiders, and without a phaser!

Certainly cheesy, but it does give you the willies.

A hammy Shatner battles yucky spiders. Too bad the spiders don't win.

Shatner dominates ..., but he remains in character and restrains himself from completely overpowering the lesser-known supporting cast.

Shatner plays a horse doctor in a small town where the animals are dying mysteriously. They are being killed by deadly spiders! This horror movie is creepy and a bit funny too, I really enjoyed it, and if you like Shatner, I highly recommend checking it out.
