Some palaeontologists crash in the country with their private
airplane after a meteor crashed down and the pressure injured
the plane. They seek cover in a small house but outside some
hungry creatures that have been hiding in the ground for many
years have just surfaced.

Arachnia was hilariously bad, it reminded me a lot of Tail Sting
only this wasn't so bad that it was good, this was just bad.
The spiders look like they've climbed right out of a black and
white 50's horrorfilm and this was intentional, why for Christ
sake? Does anyone really want to watch an intentionally bad
film? This is not parody funny, this is want to kill yourself
funny. I did however laugh hard as hell when I first saw the
spiders and in the lesbian scene that was so cheesy so I thought
I'd grant it with one star.
The acting is below average. The dialogues feel forced and there
are so many stupid comments to be found everywhere. The
directing
is the only thing that's decent, it actually looks
quite good
so it was a surprise that the movie was as bad
as it was.
There are quite a few flaws to be found here though,
in one
scene a girl is lying under the covers, in the next
angle she
has it below her chest and then when they swap
back to the
first angle again she's lying under the cover again.
The scenery
was also pretty weird considering that they went
through a
forest when they were crashing and when they
went out of the
plane there was only one or two trees in sight.
Warning some minor spoilers ahead (as if you could really spoil
a film this terrible). There was only one highlight in this
movie and that was when that annoying professor died, that was
what I had been waiting for through almost the entire movie.
End of spoilers. This is really a terrible movie and only good
for a couple of laughs just because it's so damn terrible.
It wasn't a disappointment though since you can almost tell
by the cover that it will be cheesy.

Do we count badly animated spiders dismembering
a corpse gore?
I really doubt it.

Oh my god this is where it goes really bad. The music in the
"sexy" scenes or romantic scenes sounds as if it was picked out
of the most lowbudget porno movie ever made. There's some
dreadful
piano music in a "scary" scene but the music towards the
ending is where it gets really bad. It sounds as if a child has
found some drums and decided to bang a bit on them in various
tones and then found a triangle and started hitting that a bit,
I haven't laughed as hard as I did when that music started before
in movie history.

A complete waste of film, which is only good for a couple of
laughs for the poor story, acting, animating and anything else
that was in the movie. If you're looking for a good movie, this
is not what you want, if you want to laugh over the cheesiness of
a lowbudget horrormovie, this is not what you want, if you wanna
just look at a spider movie, check out Arachnid or Spiders instead.
