...and it's not something I'm proud of.During my early high school years, I used to rent movies every Friday at my local video store, mostly horror films. One of those days, I asked the clerk for some recommendation since I couldn't find anything interesting enough, so he suggested ''Webs''. He described it as ''Alien with spiders instead of xenomorphs'' and since the DVD art looked sort of creepy, I believed him.Oh boy, I had absolutely no idea of what I was about to see...It took me less than 10 minutes to realize the truth; I had been fooled. I'd like to write a good review but I'll just sum this movie up with a single word; CRINGE.It seemed like they didn't even tried hard, they just took ideas from lots of sci-fi/monster movies and executed them in the worst way possible; just compare the ending to the one of ''Deep Rising''. The acting was the kind of acting you expect to see in these kind of movies, forgettable and bland. The same goes for the dialogue. And yes, it was the last movie I ever rented. It's not something I'm proud to say, but I don't regret it either, not in the least. It made me laugh a lot, so it gets a few points because of it.

Four electric company employees stumble across a scientific experiment while preparing a vacant building for demolition so that a coffee shop can be built in it's place. They unwittingly activate power to a portal that leads to a parallel world where everything looks identical to their world. In the parallel universe mankind is almost extinct. The last remnants are fighting for their survival against a mutant spider race that turns poisoned prey into mutants under their control. The unwitting heroes join up with the last survivors in an attempt to return to their universe before the queen and her soldiers kill them all. In the end only the primary character and a girl from the parallel universe make it back.

WEBS is a pretty odd movie, albeit slightly watchable. Richard Grieco plays an electrician who gets suck into a parallel Earth overrun by mutant spiders, or something like that. The film itself was made with a modest budget, which explains the limited locales, and the somewhat tedious screenplay that manages to do very little with quite an interesting premise. Basically a 90 minute episode of the TV show "Sliders", and nothing more.4 out of 10(go to www.nixflix.com for a more detailed review and reviews of other films in the genre)

A group of characters are transported to a parallel dimension in which spiders rule the earth. They try to build a portal to get back to their world. Sound familiar yet? Honestly, this has the look and feel of Sliders and about the same budget. The only difference is the characters in Sliders were more interesting. I am not saying that this is horrible but it isn't good either. If you like Sliders then watch this clone on SciFi channel when nothing else is on.
