everything you have heard about this movie is true.

It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

I acquired this flick in the Horrorlicious 9-pack. This particular movie is a real bore. I guess it has a few funny scenes that were never meant to be funny in it but that's about it.For the guys out there - this film does have quite a number of sexy looking women in it. But for fans of sci-fi and horror this film can easily be passed up because it's rather boring. It's a little comical in it's way but overall a bore-fest of women being sexy for the one man they became stranded on the island with in the beginning of the film.We all realize this is a B film (more like Z) put out in the year 1960 but the spiders are so funny you will laugh at the "Horrors of the Film" instead of being creeped out by the spiders. Large spiders that stalk the people. When Gary gets bit and turns into Spiderman the film the movie gets funnier instead of creepier.The film is worth 1 star but I'll give it a 2 for the chuckles I get out of the film.2/10

The only reason to watch this horrible horror film is the bikini clad female dance troupe, MAYBE. The plot is actually not that bad but the execution (maybe the writer should have been?) is very poor. A plane crashes near an unknown island yet it has white people on it!! Now if you grew up in the 50's and 60's like I did the girls are pretty nice in their bikinis. If you are younger you probably won't appreciate them as today's females seem to be a lot less in some respects. As is to be expected in such an old film the special effects aren't special at all. There is some romance but the troupe's manager is just a womanizing roue. He does get his by the end of the movie.

With a title like this I was expecting a much different movie than I got. This is mostly a sexploitation film with scantily clad women, that was probably somewhat risqué for it's time. The plot has to do with a plane full of models crashing near a remote island. They don't notice any giant spiders on the island except for the dead professor in a large web. You won't notice any giant spiders either. The terrible effects consist of a few spiders as big as dogs, that look more like sloths than arachnids. One bites a guy and he turns into what I guess is supposed to be a half human spider, but the makeup job looks more wolf-like. He scares a few models, but that's it for the horror. Overall, this movie can't decide if it's a horror, action or love story . . .it is definitely not good enough to pull off all three genres. If you are looking for somewhat cheezy and fun spider flicks I'd recommend "Earth Vs. The Spider" or "Tarantula". If you're a completist, try to pick this one up somewhere for a couple of bucks, otherwise forget it.

A group of models is assembled by Alex D'Arcy to participate in a dancing troupe but the plane carrying them crashes into the ocean, leaving them stranded on an unforgiving island inhabited only by large, aggressive spiders. D'Arcy is promptly bitten and turns into a 'spider-man', hunting the beauties as they swan about in search of an escape.I recall seeing two spiders in the movie which is mostly centred on the strained relations between the prima donnas as they contend with the primitive surroundings, more accustomed to make-up, heels and chardonnay. The cast is virtually unknown (excepting the dashing D'Arcy), comprised of buxom, shapely blondes and brunettes of contrasting personalities.Containing a full-throttle girl fight undertaken with plenty of spite and venom, the action is otherwise pretty scarce, the makers preferring suggestive dirty dancing and teasing skinny dips in an attempt to keep the audience entertained (without success). Thin on plot, despite the scantily clad ladies, there's only so much long-legged ogling you can do before the whole saga becomes tiresome.
