Review – Eight-Legged Freaks

Wow. A horror comedy that turns out to be neither scary nor funny. That’s a shock. Honestly, the most entertaining moment in the entire movie is when the sinister soundtrack picks up the melody from “The Eensy Weensy Spider.” Otherwise this is a tedious parade of clichés brandished at the audience with nary a trace of genuine irony. The picture depends primarily on the digital spider effects for its appeal, which would have worked a lot better if the quality had been a bit more consistent or the giant arachnids had been employed for chills rather than comic relief. Wish I’d skipped it
