The GIANT SPIDER INVASION
- The GIANT SPIDER INVASION
Film (1975). Group 75/Transcentury. Dir Bill Rebane, starring Steve Brodie, Barbara Hale, Alan Hale, Leslie Parrish. Screenplay Robert Easton, Richard L. Huff. 76 mins. Colour.
Noted by one critic, Michael Weldon, as the MONSTER MOVIE with the worst special effects since The GIANT CLAW (1957), this is fondly remembered as the one where the giant spider wasbuilt out of a modified Volkswagen. The spiders, whose eggs are mistaken for diamonds by a greedy farmer, emerge from a BLACK HOLE (yes) near a small Midwest town, which they terrorize. The script has wonderfully highbrow moments. "It all fits - Einstein's general theory of relativity - everything!" cries Steve Brodie, the tough guy who laconically copes with the situation. The best spider movie of the period was KINGDOM OF THE SPIDERS (1977), and the best since then has been ARACHNOPHOBIA (1990).
