lukem-52760 Arachnophobia is pure late night entertainment,IT'S another childhood classic of mine that i always remember being on t.v on a Saturday night & i watched it every time i loved it & still do!!! This is a true classic movie with the great Spielberg producing it you know this is going to be a BRILLIANTLY made suspense Thriller & it is.The music is beautiful throughout,the small American town is beautiful & the cast is Amazing especially JEFF DANIELS & JOHN GOODMAN!!! The spiders are terrifying & the film has a real magical fun tone mixed perfectly with really suspenseful scary moments & silly fun bits but all goes perfectly together!!! A true old school CLASSIC that deserves it's place up there with films such as JAWS,POLTERGEIST,GREMLINS & other beautifully made/produced Spielberg greats
gavin6942 A species of South American killer spider hitches a lift to the United States in a coffin and starts to breed and kill.This film came out when I was young, so I probably first saw it when I was 10 or 12. And I recall it being pretty funny. Watching it now (2017), it does not have the humor I recall. Even John Goodman seems to come up short.Now, if anything, it should be better than I remembered because Julian Sands is in it, as well as Jeff Daniels. Names and faces I love but would not have known about as a kid. How did this film age so poorly.... or did I just enter it in the wrong frame of mind?
BA_Harrison Arachnophobic doctor Ross Jennings (Jeff Daniels) moves with his wife (Harley Jane Kozak) and kids to a small town in the country where he intends to set up practice. Unfortunately, the new family home becomes over-run by highly venomous spiders, the offspring of a Venezuelan arachnid that hitched a ride to the States in the coffin of a dead photographer.If you're one of those people who turn to jelly at the sight of a spider, then Arachnophobia is guaranteed to terrify. It might be strictly PG, but thanks to the use of real creepy-crawlies throughout (with just a few not-so-convincing animatronic arachnids for the larger specimens), the film will have arachnophobes on the edge of their seats from start to finish.Even if you're not afraid of the eight-legged horrors, Arachnophobia should still prove a fun ride for the duration, with slick direction from Frank Marshall, spirited performances, some well-executed jump scares, and the great production values one expects from a Steven Spielberg-backed flick.
BringBackFear Are you afraid of spiders? We believe everyone is afraid of the furry eight legged spiders.If you are afraid, then force yourself to watch this incredible movie! South American killer spider hitches a lift to the US in a coffin and starts to breed and kill. This is one of the scariest spider films of all times.A great cast with Jeff Daniels, Harley Jane Kozak, John Goodman, Julian Sands and more.We'd recommend this movie to anyone who has not seen it. Check it out and you won't be disappointed especially if you have Arachnophobia.....
