EIGHT LEGGED FREAKS (2002)

I like this movie. It wasn't as good as say TREMORS, but it's a nice lighthearted comedy/giant spider movie that probably the entire family could enjoy. I say that because even though there's a bunch of very large spiders killing people, they also make weird cartoonish noises that add a bit of comedy that I would imagine children would find amusing.

The residents of a small desert mining town are dirt poor and the town is drying up.  An evil land developer has been secretly dumping nuclear waste down an unused mine shaft. Next thing you know, giant computer generated spiders are crawling all over the place killing the shit out of people. That sounds gruesome, but like I said, most of the violence is done in a cartoonish way.

Kari Wuhrer in tight jeans and tight t-shirt for the majority of the movie, quick pace, zero nudity, mild violence, zero gore, green spider blood, funny spiders, likeable characters, Sean Penn's mom, ol' boy from MANHUNTER, Scarlett Johansson in a towel.

EIGHT LEGGED FREAKS is a fun movie that should keep you mildly entertained...and sometimes that's all you want out of a movie.
