Der Biologe Professor Gerald Deemer arbeitet an einem Wachstumsbeschleuniger, um z. B. Tiere wie Rinder und Schweine schneller und größer wachsen zu lassen um das aufkommende Ernährungsproblem der Bevölkerung zu beheben. In seinem Labor experimentiert er an diversen übergroßen Tieren. Bei einem Brand gelingt eine giftigen Riesentarantel unbemerkt die Flucht. Bald erreicht das Tier die monströsen Ausmaße eines Hochhauses und droht ganze Städte auszurotten. Mit Napalm-Bomben bewaffnet rückt die amerikanische Luftwaffe an, um dem Biest den Garaus zu machen...

Tarantula Rezensionen & Wertungen
- Mister Arn22. Mai 2025'50s man messing with nature thriller. They are not as good as they are, but they are still worth watching. Clint Eastwood drops a bomb in this one.
- theLillyPad17. Februar 2025If you have watched a bunch of 50's era monster flicks, this doesn't bring anything new to the table, but it does do it all well. I'm embarrassed to say that, as someone who already has a phobia of real-life Tarantulas, this flick genuinely frightened me at parts (or at least made my stomach turn!) It has everything you would hope for from such a film: melodrama! scientific hubris! And, of course, a seen where a bunch of scientists sit in a room and explain how a normal sized version of the animal works.
