Earth vs The Spider (1958)

Crazy Fun Creature Feature

One of Bert I. Gordon's best films. This is what I call a "crazy fun" creature feature. Arachnophobes beware! I recall this seeing this one many, many years ago and have always remembered it - it's so hard to forget, it was a creepy and very memorable experience watching this. I think I got a few nightmares from it as a kid.

The film poster does it justice - it says it all. It's about a giant spider vs the nearby town. A couple of teens discovered it and have enlisted the help of their science teacher and local police. It seems nothing can kill it, not DDT nor bullets. You'll have to watch the film to find out how it ends, I'm not telling.

It is a worthy creature feature. It's a HUGE blast to watch.

8/10
