- runinhot10. Oktober 2025The best spider movie made
- Streetter4. Oktober 2025If you're not afraid of spiders... you will be after this movie
- Rhythm22. Juli 2025I love this movie
- FranBiz28. April 2025This movie is pretty good. However just like the title, if you have arachnophobia, you're probably going not going like this movie. This movie gets very up close and personal with the spiders in various scenes. I enjoyed the story and characters in this movie. This is definitely worth checking out
- Callum6. März 2025⭐⭐⭐⭐ – Arachnophobia – When everyday spaces turn hostile Arachnophobia is one of those rare films that weaponises something ordinary and makes it genuinely terrifying. For anyone even mildly uneasy around spiders, this movie gets under the skin fast — and for those who hate them, it’s borderline sadistic. The infamous shower scene alone is worse than Psycho ever was for me, purely because it taps into a fear that feels far more plausible and far harder to shake. What makes the film work so well is that it’s essentially a stealth slasher. There’s a body count, a mystery, and a creeping sense of dread — but instead of a masked killer, the spiders do the work while everyone else struggles to understand what’s going wrong. That slow realisation, paired with the idea that danger can be hiding in the most mundane corners of your home, is what gives the film its lasting power. The tension builds beautifully, especially toward the finale, where the heat, confinement, and rising panic all combine into something almost unbearable. Even knowing what’s coming doesn’t dull the experience — if anything, it makes you brace harder. That’s a sign of a film that understands suspense rather than relying purely on shocks. Despite my deep dislike of spiders, this is one I keep coming back to. I’ve seen it well over a dozen times and will almost certainly watch it many more. Whether you love spiders, hate them, or sit somewhere in between, Arachnophobia is smart, tense, and hugely effective — proof that sometimes the scariest monsters don’t need knives or masks at all. ☕ Drink Pairing Strong black coffee — because you’ll want to stay alert, and you probably won’t feel like relaxing until the credits roll.
- ርልዪረ14. Februar 2025When a photographer is bitten and killed by a spider in the Venezuelan jungle, his body is shipped back to his home town of Canaima in California. Unfortunately something has hitched a ride in his coffin...... Mixing B movie conventions with modern day fun, Arachnophobia sees Frank Marshall direct and Jeff Daniels, Julian Sands, John Goodman and Harley Jane Kozak line up in the cast. Tho horror and comedy on the surface doesn't seem to be a that hard to blend together, it's surprising over the years just how few horror comedy movies can claim to be successful and have been able to to win over a like minded audience. In fact, if we move away from the likes of Sean Of The Dead, the B movie creature feature, especially in modern times, has few offerings of worth. We can certainly mention the awesome (and best of the modern bunch) Tremors, which turned a small Worldwide profit, and then we turn to Lake Placid and Arachnophobia. Both of the latter made considerable amounts of cash (for the genre) and are propelled by a degree of star wattage. What was in Arachnophobia's favour too, was that spiders strike the fear of god into many people, thus, as Marshall said himself on the publicity junket, "People like to be scared but laughing at the same time". Arachnophobia achieves this in spades, mixing real spiders (Avondale breed) with model and magnet work, the effect achieved is nervy giggles coupled with creepy goose flesh putting in an appearance. The cast work hard to make it work. OK, Sands remains as wooden as he always is, but in this case his pompous bug professor calls for it. Daniels as the modern doctor hoping to start a new life in the country, is an excellent lead, a fine actor who's no show on the A list of Hollywood remains an utter mystery. But it's with the big jolly blunderbuss that is John Goodman that Arachnophobia gets its frothy B movie fun. His inept, half witted but knowing pest controller, Delbert, engages in that small town Americana way. An innocence to the terrors of the world that makes for a nice play off with the Arachnophobic Dr. Ross Jennings (Daniels). Nicely shot around Cambria, California, to fully realise the small town under arachnid siege, Arachnaphobia is the perfect comedy creeper for all the family. Enjoy: even if you have to watch from behind your hands. 7/10
