Plot: Hollywood Pictures and Amblin Entertainment deliver an electrifying rollercoaster ride of a movie! Everyone is afraid of something..for Dr Ross Jennings (Jeff Daniels), his phobia is downright embarrassing. But when he moves his family to a small town, the one thing that bugs him most is now threatening the townspeople at an alarming rate. For this unlikely hero, overcoming a childhood fear of spiders might just save them all, but it may already be too late! Directed by Frank Marshall this critically acclaimed hit spins a web of riveting suspense and entertains with its unique mix of thrills, chills and laughter! The film's opening moments picture an insect expert digging up and then tracking the travels of a poisonous male spider who has burrowed in the coffin of one of its victims from the Venezuelan jungle to California. Although the scientist knows they are deadly, he wants to pursue his research regardless of the danger. Then the film cuts to a doctor and his wife leaving the hustle and bustle of San Fransisco and moving out to the country. When they arrive, he becomes the town doctor, but he soon earns the nickname "Dr. Death" because none of his patients survive. At first, he can't understand what's killing so many people; then he realizes the disease might be caused

 With enough creepy crawlies to give people who have the title problem the 'willies'; this completely watchable effort may be a bit tame for the more hardcore of horror fans out there but thanks to having well drawn characters, some good 'small town' moodand lots of pleasing 'near miss' scenes it turns out much better than you may expect.  -- (TheVideoGraveYard.com)
