Eight Legged Freaks Reviews |
This mediocre but bearable big-studio monster flick is certainly a mindless ride but thanks to decent computer effects, lots of genre in-jokes for fans; competent direction and performances and a final third that has some rockin' action sequences it manages to be an okay diversion. [read review]

"Eight Legged Freaks", a throwback 50s-style creature feature minus the reds-under-the-bed subtext. The avowed intent here is to scare without scarring, shock without being shocking. It's creepy crawly horror for all the family. [read review] 
--Nev Pierce (BBC Films)
This is one of those movies you obviously can't take seriously, otherwise you'll end up being very disappointed. ... One of the better spiders films, but not the best. Enjoyable if you see it with an open mind, like I did. [read review] 5/10
--FrighT MasteR (UHM)
Eight Legged Freaks is like Tremors meets Arachnophobia, with Scarlett Johannson thrown in for good measure - happily it more than lives up to its glorious trailer and is easily one of the best films of the summer. [read review] 
--Matthew Turner (ViewLondon)
I wish the movie were longer because it was so great to finally see a parody that realizes that the audience has brain cells. I highly recommend this funny take on all those big bug movies from the 1950s. [read review] 
--Zaero (Bloody-Disgusting.com)
A film that never intends to take itself too seriously and as a result comes across as a frightfully funny flick that is both inoffensive and unnerving at the same time. [read review] 8/10
--Vaughan Dyche (thefilmasylum.com)
If only they had fast-forwarded the beginning, it would have been a fun, laugh-out-loud movie that’s perfect when you’re in the mood for humour and heebie-jeebies. [read review] 67/100
--Terri Clark (Apollo Guide)
Eight Legged Freaks clearly wants to be a Gremlins for the 21st century, but never quite makes it due to lackluster character development and shaky pacing. [read review] 
--David Nusair (Reel Film Reviews)
Hands down, the best movie of the Summer! Eight Legged Freaks is what a lot more movies need to start being: Just pure, thoughtless, unadulterated FUN. [read review]
--B. Alan Orange (MovieWeb)
...there's a lot to enjoy here, and some surprisingly nasty moments among the jolly frolics. [read review]
