Tarantula!
USA 1955, 67 minutes
Dir. Jack Arnold
English
Rating: [PG]
Genres: Science Fiction, Classics / Animal Amok, Science Slip
Aroview: One of the best B-movie directors of the 1950s crafts an effective tale of a manic scientist (Carroll) whose experiments unleash a gigantic and hairy tarantula spider into the deserts of Arizona. Despite the ham acting, this has the potential to give arachnophobes a serious dose of the creeps.

0 star (Not rated) While the diseased Leo G. Carroll stomping around while his fellow researchers die off is quite fun, this feels like a poor copy of Arnold's much better "It Came From Outer Space". Good monster though. ~Anon
