If there's a fun way to do a movie about giving you the willies, it's this. Daniels 🤙as meek family doc who has to hero up. Goodman is 🤣.

Wonderfully schlocky insect horror that knows exactly what its purpose is without entirely turning to parody

One of my favorite horror comedies right up there with Tremors. Very creepy crawly with a satisfying ending

Yeah, cheesy, but super creepy and also well-rounded with solid characters and some humor.

A pretty decent creature feature. This one scared me for days when I was a kid & I think it holds up well. Some of the characters annoy me.

For some reason my girlfriend figured my arachnophobia was all in my head… one panic attack induced heart attack later… good movie though.

A decent concept and good performances overpower the less than the great script for a film that sticks with you. A 6/10.

You’ll be double checking toilets, lamps, shower heads, & the ceiling after this. Sometimes scarier than established horror franchises.
