5/10
Trashy B Movie - Worth Watching
21 March 2019
Spiders 3D: More than 20 years after the break-up of the USSR a Soviet Space Station crashes to Earth. But not just any station - mutant spiders were experimented on in this one and they'er had all that time to mutate further. Some of the debris which survives re-entry hits New York and ends up in the Subway. We soon have spiders killing transit workers and laying eggs in their bodies. Spiders of all sizes but rapidly growing bigger send rats and bats scurrying and fleeing from the Subway tunnels. But those who live underground in abandoned tunnels and stations. the mole people, provide a ready food supply for the spiders.

The large spiders, about the size of capybaras, are quite frightening and realistic. They are difficult to kill and readily scurry up fire escapes. The Queen Spider when she finally arrives is a real monster but not as credible, effects just didn't hack it. There is an evil army colonel who wants to secure the spiders as a weapon who will kill anyone who gets in his way. The script isn't any great shakes and the locations are limited as I guess was the budget. The best acting is certainly by the spiders

A trashy B movie which is certainly worth watching if you are a fan of such fare. 5.5/10.
