GL84 When a soldier's body is shipped back to the US after being killed in the Middle East, a small town comes under siege of the vicious Camel Spiders hiding within his body and are forced to protect themselves from the ravenous creatures.This was an absolutely amazing Sci-Fi Channel entry that really has hardly anything wrong with it but a lot to enjoy. Like most of the Sci-Fi channel efforts, the main attraction with this one being the high amount of action depicted here, which has a lot to do with how fun this is. The opening gets this one started nicely in a furious military gunfight in the desert as the soldiers fight off the others at the desert outcrops that turns into a massive spider ambush which they take to mean is the enemy retreating instead gets this going incredibly well with a fine firefight, and the rest of the movie is incredibly fun. It's got a lot of rather fun and exciting action scenes as the numerous creatures attack and are dispatched throughout the movie in typical fashion here mixing from quick bursts to extended pieces, from the ambush taking out the couples out in the middle of the desert to the spider's chasing victims through the woods into a remote farmhouse and a later diner ambush that's quite a lot of fun being the best of the encounters. As is expected, the longer encounters here are what make this one really fun as they manage to get out most of the positives in the film with the survival group stowed away inside the house where they come under attack while hiding out and are forced to deal with them entering the house and escaping.Finally, there's the industrial complex attack that stands as the centerpiece of the main finale showing them getting trapped inside and the different escapes running into the creatures resulting in some really fun cheesy firefights found all throughout the building leading to the big charge to get out finding them completely overrun by the spiders leading to more firefights barricading themselves away and letting the big firefight to get away giving this some really big explosive action, the result of all of this action keeping the pacing up rather nicely. Along with the numerous attacks comes a lot of blood and gore, and while still CGI the amount of damage done to the high body-count is rather nice, and with the real-world implications of the creatures and a few tense moments during the shootouts thrown into the mix, it's got a lot going for it that definitely works here. There really isn't too many flaws here with this one. As per normal, it's hard to take the CGI in this as anything but a total joke here, as not only do the spiders look fake but there's too many CGI bases for scenes that don't need to which should be quite normal and really doesn't damage the movie too much. This makes it a bit too cheesy to take seriously, but it's the only real issue here as there's more positives here to make this one a lot of fun.Rated R: Graphic Violence, Graphic Language and scenes of children in danger.

Boba_Fett1138 Well, what can I say. Every now and then I love to watch a silly and bad B-horror flick. And really, for the lovers of bad, cheap cinema, there is plenty to still enjoy in this movie! And there is a big difference between a just plain bad movie and a movie that is being just so bad and silly that it actually becomes fun to watch. I feel that this for most part is being the case with "Camel Spiders" as well. No matter how bad and silly this movie gets at times, it still remains a pretty fun experience to watch.Of course the story is totally stupid and doesn't make much sense but basically all of these sort of movies feature the same type of story anyway. It simply delivers exactly what you could and would expect from it, nothing more, nothing less. So really, if you are into these type of movies, by all means watch it and chances are you end up enjoying it, for what it is. The characters are stupid but at least they aren't annoying (well, expect for the little girl perhaps but children always annoy me in these sort of movies), which really is a positive thing to say, for these sort of movies. Not that you ever feel involved with any of them. None of them are fleshed out and basically you already know how most of them are going to end up. At least if you are somewhat familiar already with these sort of movies.No, this movie really doesn't hold any surprises and it progresses in an extremely formulaic way. But hey, that's how Roger Corman works and this certainly has its charm to it as well and make sure that these sort of movies are always still better to watch than those coming from other cheap working studios.The special effects are some of the worst you are likely to see in a modern horror flick. It's also one of those movies that prefers to use CGI gore over practical effects. This is definitely something disappointing and it lets the movie look all the more fake and cheap. Only watchable to those who can enjoy and appreciate a big, fat, cheap, silly, fake looking Corman flick.3/10 http://bobafett1138.blogspot.com/

Paul Magne Haakonsen "Camel Spiders" was so bad it was actually worth watching just for the laughs. This movie has everything you could possibly want from a cheesy horror movie - bad CGI effects, laughable plot, incoherent story, unlimited ammunition, screaming spiders, bad acting, and much, much more.The story in "Camel Spiders" is about soldiers in the desert somewhere in the Middle East, fighting someone, when a group of big spiders show up. A soldier is killed, and when shipped home, two fairly small spiders sneak into the box containing the corpse of the soldier. Then back in the US, the box is opened because of an accident, and spiders emerge to wreak havoc on the local residents.Fairly average storyline that borrows heavily from "Arachnophobia" and "Eight Legged Freaks".There were two spiders in the box, but suddenly there are hundreds of them in the area in the US, ranging from the size of a man's fist to a coffee table. How did they get to be that numerous and that big so fast? That incoherency in the story was just hilarious. Moving on though, while shooting at the marauding spiders, the people had endless amounts of ammo and never reloaded their weapons. And to make matters worse, most of the time people were not even shooting downward where the spiders were, but they were shooting in hip or chest level, that was just hilarious. And the camel spiders were constantly screaming. Yeah, sure, why not?"Camel Spiders" was one of the worse spider movies that I have seen, right up there with the likes of "In the Spider's Web" and "Spiders 2". However, the movie is so stupid and cheesy that it is actually worth sitting through it, just to see what bad thing is waiting around the next corner. Just make sure you are sitting in an upright position while watching the movie, I was on a couch and I dozed off once or twice.

tawlite Camel Spiders (another syfy offering) crosses all the boundaries of credibility and credulity. I don't think the creators of this movie even cared about detail and plot.Starts off in Iraq, or the Arizona desert, who knows who cares, the writers obviously didn't! After a gun fight between the Americans and the enemy, an American soldier gets shot and dies, then the camel spiders come and drag off all the enemy fighters as it is about lunch time. The Americans don't see this at all, and are puzzled as to where the enemy have gone. They pack the dead soldier into a temporary coffin and three of the camel spiders hitchhike into the coffin. No scene change, same desert scene, and we see a sheriff chasing a joy rider, who then crashes into the Army truck carrying the coffin, and about dozen camel spiders crawl out of the coffin and into the desert, 10 minutes later entire Arizona desert swarming with thousands of camel spiders attacking anyone who happens to be in the area.Students out and about with their professor get chased down by a giant camel spider, the giant spider jumps on the face of one of the students and chomps it off, others run and find an empty house, they break in but none can get a signal on their phones. One of the students says he took a photo of the camel spider that was chasing them, he shows them a stock photo of the camel spider chasing them, he shows them a picture on his phone of a camel spider posing flat on a black background, not a shot of it leaping through air, or munching on his mate's face, but actually a plate picture from a book!!!!!! So the kid says I can identify it through my phones encyclopaedia !!!!!!!! - Tahdah!! 1 second later he tells them it is a Camel spider native to Iraq!!!!!!!!!!!! From then on in, it gets much worse, you wonder is that possible and with this movie, yes it is not only possible but an unpleasant reality. Next follows half an hour of boring dialogue as several people from the local diner, Sheriff and Army crew hide out in a building and do various things like chat, flirt, sleep and play the harmonica, with occasional hysterics from a couple of irritating females, one who screams in clichés 'We're all going to die!!!' etc.CGI is usual SyFy fodder. Acting dreadful. Dialogue: awful. Screech factor unbearable. Yawn factor high! A bad movie!
