Intense, gripping, stylish and poignant

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

Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.

Blistering performances.

Getting stranded at sea, a couple are rescued by a large cargo ship run by a demented scientist to test experiments regarding a gigantic spider and must get away before the creatures overrun the ship and everyone on-board.This ended up being quite enjoyable and entertaining as a cheesy creature feature. One of the best aspects here is the film's cheesy nature, transporting a 50's style monster movie out into the sea and away from land, making for a new and innovative feel that gives this some nice moments. This here is further compounded by the mystery angle in the beginning with the mysterious injections, secretive behavior about the ship and its contents and rude treatment to them despite an air of hospitality offered make it inviting through the slow pace, and when brought along by the curious inability to heal despite all these solutions to the contrary really create a pretty intriguing air about the slow-going nature here. Things start picking up with the dream of being wheeled through the bowels of the ship on a gurney, which really sets the film going on the paranoia thread that turns the second half into even more fun as there's the demented fun of his capture down in the basement as he gets impregnated and is later forced to watch the culmination of their plans b showing the erupting spider from the woman's body. Naturally, this all comes up to the film's cheesy best is the final rampage through the ship when the spiders are loose with tons of action involving their crawling free against the crew which brings up plenty of fine gore in the numerous kills here, and the fact that the spiders are everywhere on the ship allows for a lot of fun in the escape attempts and battle tactics against the creatures down in the cargo hold and up on-deck. This even has an overall rather fine feel with a bit of suspense in the stalking as well as a nerve-tingling walk through a spider-web-riddled hallway without any armaments for protection in a highlight sequence. There's another good part here in its use of realistic prop spiders as well, making for a nice look where they're menacing and convincing which is all more than enough here to overcome the few flaws within this. The biggest issue is the slow-paced first half which doesn't really do much here. By keeping it centered on the mystery of what's going on with the crew and different tactics, there's not much room here for spider attacks throughout here by utilizing this nature. As well, there's the lame and rather unnecessary romance angle that really hampers the pace within this by being oblivious about it alongside the boring pace. The other flaw here is the film's really troubling areas that shouldn't be. Considering the sources, the opening abduction is simply lame and laughable when it shouldn't be so, while the CGI is a bit distracting. There's some detracting cheese here due to this, but it's not enough to dissuade this from being quite entertaining.Rated R: Graphic Violence, Graphic Language, and Nudity.

sure, its not the best but its decent. It opens up pretty good but then gets sort of slow with all the stuff happening to the guy whose name I cant remember. Once you see what is going on on the ship it gets pretty entertaining. The acting wasn't too great nor was the cgi but it was entertaining.If you want to watch a monster movie with good acting and creepy creatures then you'll have to look elsewhere. I think only the mad doctor was doing good (He was believable). You cant only watch the ending for entertainment, you'll have to watch the whole thing to understand the end. See it, don't love it.

Since I am required to write minimum of 10 lines, and this garbage deserves not only a single one, I'll start with the following: 1. I voted AWFUL for this dreadful so called "movie".2. Let me explain why these turkeys Mr. David Varod produces are shot mainly in my beautiful homeland, Bulgaria (just in BTW, for the illiterate people around - this country is IN EUROPE, based north to Greece and has absolutely nothing to do with Mexico and Uruguay) Some years ago, NU Image has invaded our country and started making crappy mostly direct-to-video releases. Why here? Because here they pay derisively low fees to the Bulgarian crew and to the Bulgarian actors (most of them distinguished ones) which are, in many ways, better than most of their American colleagues. Personally I am ashamed of that fact. The reason is, of course, the greediness of the Americans involved and their wish to get most, if not all of the profit. Actually it would't be so bad if only the production wasn't so filthy and pale. There hasn't been a good picture shot here for years. At present NU image is being sued here over the very questionably purchasing of our national cinema production centre called Boyana Films. No doubt about it there has been corruption, there has been deceit, there has been a lies in this recent purchase. The Bulgarian cinema is dead. Long live the Bulgarian cinema!

I have seen a lot of bad movies in my life but i just watched this on Pay Per View and it was bad. The story had holes everywhere. All of a sudden the spiders move very very very slowly then it later on can run really really fast. The writing was terrible. It had lines in it that were not necessary at all. That acting was of very poor quality. HOW DO THESE PEOPLE GET WORK!?!?!?! It burns me to see the people who wake up one morning and decide they want to be actors without having any training whatsoever. The guy has a spider in his gut and he says just leave me here. Or he says No I'll be okay. The giant spider at the end I have some questions about. HOW IN THE BLOODY HELL DID IT GET SO BIG?!?!?! And if it was that big how did it manage to get to the top deck? Secondly when they say that they are digesting their first meal........Spiders digest on the outside. They don't digest on the inside. If it were possible I would give this movie a -10 rating and the writer should be shot. And the director should be shot for considering making this movie.
