    I really enjoyed this movie. Being a huge fan of giant bug movies, I loved this modern take on the genre, and it is very funny, especially Doug E doug’s conspiracy theorist who constantly claims the spiders are aliens.

    “THEY’RE HERE!! THEY’RE HERE!!!”

    “That’s what I’ve been tellin’ you!”

    Brilliant. The CGI is very well done, catering to the feel of the movie, with the spiders often having quite a bit of character.

    Basically, it rocks, and ranks along some of my favourite movies.

    More funny than horrorific, i felt like i was in the 1950s watching this movie, they should have put it in black and white and it would have been even better! overall a fun silly comedy movie about giant killer spiders

    I love big budget B-Movies. They are so fun and Eight Legged Freaks is no exception. The spider noises were priceless, acting was great and just overall a very fun movie.

    Some really good giant spider fx save this flick, since the laughs are few and far between.

    This is a hell of a fun ride. Goofy and Campy the script could of used more tweaking esp the dialoge. David Arquette and Kari Wuhrer two of my favorites. and the SFX are damn good by the way.

    ‘Eight Legged Freaks’ is the funnist, creepiest & no doubt the the scariest spidar movie that I’ve ever seen and that I absorutly hate spidar soo much for me to watch these film made me jump loads & go OMG.

    The acting was pretty great as it had a resonable set of cast, while having good muisc & terffic special effects and the make-up on the huge spidar, while the theme, elements & genre Horror, Action, Sci-Fi, Thriller & Comedy were all perfect set in the film.

    It’s a great prodogy on the B-movies monster movie as for it texture & humour on the B-Movies mosters films. The film is stupied but very funny & really eerie & fucked up scary as spidar are a big fear of main and watching a movie about them is fucking scaries me to death, also loving the ending aswell because it was clever, funny & a happy ending as all of the spidar died.

    I would have to say this movie was great fun to watch (in some what way) but different gave me nightmares, as if it really dose happen I wouldn’t know what to do as I would be screaming & litrally shitting myself & I hope I’d survive all of this horrid experience of all of that (if it every happens as you never know).

    This movie is really funny, it’s great Comdey/Horror/Sci-fi for the whole family. unless one of your family members are scared of spiders.

    The acting this movie is really good from the whole and i really liked how the spiders looked, then are not that scary, i really like how they had all different kinda of big spiders as well, the attack are more funny most of the time.
