Arachnophobia (1990)

I did not start watching "Arachnophobia" expecting to like it. I was surprised to find that it was really quite enjoyable and kept your attention. It sounds like just another stupid take off of "The Birds (1963)" and something not really worth your time.

I think what made this movie work was that it had lots of humor and the spiders did not seem too unbelievable. It had lots of shadows from the spiders on the walls and behind the curtains which has an eerie effect on the audience.

I would recommend renting this movie. Watch it with an open mind and try not to think, "This is stupid."

Fmovies: This one of the scarriest movies I have ever seen. I'm a horror fan, but most of them are not scarry. No one is afraid that possessed dolls, men that won't die, or dead men in their sleep are going to kill them. The plots are just too unbelievable. The only thing they are good for is gore and something to laugh at. Instead the title of Arachnophobia is one of the most common fears today. Many people are afraid of spiders and most of us get shivers down our spine just thinking about those pointy little eight legs crawling on our skin. Most of the plot is not that unbelievable. New species are always being found in the rain forest and this wouldn't be the first time that a creature has hitched a ride over to the U.S. The only problems I find in the story are in the end. I will never understand why the spiders swarmed the house, but while I'm watching it I never care because I'm too busy jumping. The other thing is while Jeff Daniels is fighting "the general." The spider running towards him at full speed while on fire is a bit exaggerated.

The movie also has a good comedy relief. Many of the towns people are somewhat humorous, but most of it is presented by John Goodman. He plays the town exterminator who tries to talk like a professional, but it's clear that he has no clue what he is saying. He also acts big and macho after stepping on a spider. Most of the movie is a cliche, but it makes fun of the cliche if you know what I mean.

I have loved this movie ever since the first time that I saw it and even after watching it a million times I still jump and shiver at the same scenes even though I know exactly what will happen. After watching the movie there will be some scenes that will stick in your head. Personally, I was always very cautious about taking showers after watching the movie.

I've seen a lot of movies in my life...too many movies some might say. I have never been so scared in a movie than I was with "Arachnophobia".

I'm terrified of spiders. I think everything about them is just evil. And don't give me that "They eat bugs" bull, I don't care, spiders are still evil. My wife kills the spiders in our home. I know that's pathetic, but she earned that duty.

See, I would've never seen "Arachnophobia" had it not been for my wife, then fiance.

While it was in theaters, my buddies all wanted to see it, but in fear of wetting myself in front of them, I told them that I had other plans.

Fast forward four years, my fiance & I were at our local Blockwood video store, looking for the perfect scary movie, and she finds "Arachnophobia", knowing darn well that I'm terrified of spiders.

She asks if we can get it, and I agree, trying not to look like a pansy in front of the girl I want to spend my life with. By the end of the movie, I was as white as a sheet and gripping her hand so tight, she couldn't feel anything in her hand. I seriously spent most of the movie with my eyes closed.

For that reason, she kills the spiders in our home. She felt so bad about scaring me like that.

I know that there are quite a bit of you that think this movie is too humorous to be scary. That's biggest load I've ever heard.

If you hate spiders, DO NOT SEE THIS MOVIE!

Arachnophobia fmovies. Arachnophobia is a great spider film that stars Jeff Daniels,Harley Jane Kozak,John Goodman, Julian Sands, and Peter Jason. The film isn`t really scary but its the creepyness that gets to you! Arachnophobia has good acting and it has a great beginning! Good music too! I recommend Arachnophobia to all creature and horror film fans alike!

Are you afraid of spiders? We believe everyone is afraid of the furry eight legged spiders.

If you are afraid, then force yourself to watch this incredible movie! South American killer spider hitches a lift to the US in a coffin and starts to breed and kill. This is one of the scariest spider films of all times.

A great cast with Jeff Daniels, Harley Jane Kozak, John Goodman, Julian Sands and more.

We'd recommend this movie to anyone who has not seen it. Check it out and you won't be disappointed especially if you have Arachnophobia.....

Dr. Ross Jennings is a renowned doctor from the big city who relocates to a small town in the country. Not only does he not fit in with the local residents, but he also has an uncontrollable fear of spiders which are prevalent in the surrounding area. To make matters worse, a new, lethal breed of spider has made its way from South America to their hometown, and produced a far more deadly breed that's slowly taking over their once peaceful little community. Exciting, creepy thriller with first-rate special effects, hair-raising chills, and an excellent cast. Not for the squeamish or anyone with the titular fear, especially at the film's nail-biting finale. ***
