Spider from the Attic

I suffer from arachnophobia and this movie gave the the willies a bit. Mostly the HUGE cobwebs that none of the actors seem to notice. LOL The FX weren't great and I don't know if that was a spider or a scorpion or a bat???

The story could have been interesting, but the writing was dull filled with STUPID character actions and the acting was horrific and the ending was beyond lame. Maybe you fans of BAD Schlocky horror will enjoy watching and laughing at this movie. But if your a serious horror fan, then just PASS on this, cause it really has no BITE! :(

I stumbled upon the 2021 horror movie titled "Spider in the Attic" from writers Scott Jeffrey and Rhys Waterfield by sheer random chance. And I must admit that the movie's cover/poster actually seemed interesting and the movie's synopsis also sounded interesting. And being an avid horror fan and liking things with monstrously big spiders, of course I had to watch "Spider in the Attic".

Needless to say that I wasn't really harboring much of any hopes or expectations for "Spider in the Attic", given the fact that the majority of creature features out there with large spiders tend to be dubious movies at best. But still, I opted to watch this 2021 movie from director Scott Jeffrey.

First, I have to say that that the movie's cover is false advertisement, as the spiders in the movie look nothing like what is depicted here. So that was a massive disappointment. And truth be told, then the movie's cover/poster was sadly the best part about this entire movie.

The storyline told in "Spider in the Attic" was simplistic, but it was adequate in its own rights. So you are not in for a grand horror cinema experience from writers Scott Jeffrey and Rhys Waterfield. However, the characters were bland and the written dialogue was questionable.

"Spider in the Attic" has spiders, well spider-like creatures. First, as I mentioned above, they look nothing like what is shown on the cover. And the spiders in the movie were CGI animated, of course, but poorly CGI animated, I might have to add. The spider design looks extraterrestrial in appearance, which was what the storyline also hinted at, but you can't put one type of arachnid on the cover and present something else to the audience entirely.

The movie had a cast ensemble of actresses and actors all unknown to me. And that is usually something I enjoy in movies, but the performances of the ones in "Spider in the Attic" were just bland and lacking drive and energy. But of course, with the subpar script, lousy characters and dialogue, of course the actresses and actors had little to work with.

Director Scott Jeffrey delivered a disappointing movie with "Spider in the Attic", no doubt about that. And this is not a creature feature that I would recommend you waste your time, money or effort on. Especially since the movie's cover/poster was the best thing about the ordeal, and that spider is not even in the movie.

My rating of "Spider in the Attic" lands on a three out of ten stars.

The actors are doing their best with what they got, and the script throw in some real world problems to make us like the characters.

However, they have no idea on how to write characters in crisis, and that make everyone behave like.

We have a situation where we have a big deadly animal in a house we are in - what to do next ?

Well, they make all stupid choices from there on and with that all sympathy for the characters goes out the window.

Then we have the CGI. Someone saw that and thought it was ok ?

We are talking 2001 PS2 CGI here.

I however liked the ending.

I would really like a sequel with bigger budget taking off from there...

You know a movie like this is gonna fail when the FX are terrible.

Even all those hot girls could not save this awful movie sadly bad at everything acting script story etc.

I only created this account so I can say. WHAT THE HELL KIND OF ENDING WAS THAT!!!! The whole moved was hyped to the big guy at the end. Then Bam, It ends!!
