Georgan G 11/30/2023 Another film from SciFi classics 50 movie pack. And one more absolutely horrible film. Not enough "horror" to be labeled as such. Silly spider man makeup with no real plot nor acting. Don't bother with this one. See more 02/12/2020 The English dubbed version is an incredible ride! Even though some of the dialogue was lost in translation See more Blobbo X @Blobbo 10/30/2018 Five stars to see if the average rating changed. (It didn't.) See more 09/19/2018 According to naive dream symbolism, spiders are often stand-ins for maternal figures-which might explain some of the deep misogyny at work here. At least the MST3K crew were able to spin out some especially good laughs from this eight-legged garbage. See more 08/01/2018 A bunch of models from New York get a gig in Singapore. On the way, their plane crashes and they end up stranded on an island with their photographer (Egyptian actor Alexander d'Arcy). They find a shack with a dead scientist in a giant spider web, and they are surprisingly unfazed by this, moving into the shack and stripping to their underwear. Photographer guy goes for a walk to clear his head and is bitten by a really big spider. It transforms him into a spider man ... the hairy monstrous kind, not the red suited emo superhero kind. This seems like a great setup, but nothing really happens for the next 40 minutes. The chicks seem remarkably unfazed by the photographers disappearance and the spider dude just hangs out vaguely menacing the women but not really doing anything. Some guys show up to bring supplies to the scientist. They find the women and everyone parties with whiskey until spider guy shows up and everybody chases everybody. This film is a very thin excuse to put a bunch of women in bikinis and underwear for an hour and 15 minutes. That's fine I guess, but it's so very very very dull. Fassbinder fans have a reason to check it out ... Barbara Valentin from "Ali: Fear Eats the Soul", "Effi Briest" and "Berlin Alexanderplatz" plays Babs and hangs out in skimpy outfits.
