Made for T.V. Movie released a month after Kingdom of the spiders that makes it a bit more believable and we don't have to put up with William Shatner's acting. This wasn't too bad of a film, nobody seems to over act anyone, Pat Hingle and Claude Akins show off their acting while battling the arachnids. Tom Atkins plays one of the pilots in a small role unfortunately he didn't have more screen time, at least this film shows how to immobilize spiders, worth a glance. |
Back in the late 70's, ITV used to show a 'family friendly' horror-based TV movie early in the evening on a Saturday, and I can remember watching this one at the time
