What do you get when you cross toxic waste with a bunch of exotic spiders? Eaten. As every fan of classic spine-tinglers knows, given the opportunity and the right chemical enhancement, arachnids will grow to humongous size and wreak havoc upon humanity. In "Eight Legged Freaks" the residents of a rural mining town discover that an unfortunate chemical spill has caused hundreds of little spiders to mutate overnight to the size of SUVs. And they're hungry! When the alarm is sounded, it is up to mining engineer Chris McCormack and Sheriff Sam (Samantha) Parker to mobilize an eclectic group of townspeople, including the Sheriff's young son, Mike, her daughter, Ashley and a paranoid radio announcer named Harlan to battle the bloodthirsty eight-legged beasts.

Critics Consensus: This homage to the B-movies of the '50s has a promising first half, but runs out of ideas in the second.

Emilie Black

And that’s the big charm of this film, it’s perfectly imperfect.

The production ultimately doesn't know what it wants to be, resulting in a mediocre attempt to revive big bug thrills and chills.

The computer graphics are much more convincing than in comparative killer animal movies, advancing in realism just enough not to be a complete distraction.

The plot is predictable, the characters are never fleshed out...

What it lacks in scares, however, Eight Legged Freaks makes up for with gallons of gooey-green spider guts.
