Aracnofobia

Arachnophobia deserves a much higher rating and a lot more attention and fame than it got. Jeff Daniels is fantastic in it and John Goodman steals the show as an exterminator who is in way over his head. Julian Sands is also great.

It's about super deadly killer spiders who kill a researcher in South America then hitch a ride in his casket back to the United States where they begin a killing spree.

This movie is very funny and also has a lot of great scares in it. If spiders make you feel icky and or shiver then this is the movie for you. The use of real non-CGI spiders and good practical effects make the spiders much more menacing.

ARACHNOPHOBIA brilliantly takes a simple fear of spiders and magnifies it to monstrous proportions!

A highly venomous super-spider from Venezuela finds its way to small town America. As luck would have it, Dr. Ross Jennings (Jeff Daniels) and family, have just moved into the same town. Little do they know that the aforementioned arachnid has set up shop on their new home's property. Horror and hilarity soon unfold when the eight-legged menace manages to start a tiny population explosion of killer offspring!

This movie gets the whole horror / comedy balance just right, not sacrificing one for the other. There are an equal amount of chills and laughs. Daniels is great in his role, as is Julian Sands as the hyperbolic Dr. Atherton. John Goodman puts in a nice, extended cameo as Delbert the exterminator.

Special mention must be made of the spider wrangler, for making these creatures appear intelligent and terrifying! You'll never look at attics or basements in quite the same way again!...

Exiting, creepy, fast-paced thriller. Highly recommend!

Yes, I said it.

6.5 is criminal.

You're all under arrest.

Entertaining from start to finish.

You will never take a shower the same again.

This movie was great then. This movie is great now.

I have no clue why anyone would hate on it.

I've spent a year waiting on this movie on Prime to drop from $20 to $4.99 and it finally has.

Haha! It's mine now!

And I will enjoy it over and over again!

Daniels is brilliant. No small parts. Casting is great.

Goodman is just icing on the cake.

If you didn't enjoy this - you need a therapist, not IMDB.

If you're looking for a movie to make every random touch of your skin having you jump - this is it.

Man, this movie gives me the creeps! Every time I watch Arachnophobia, I feel like there's something crawling on me. It's a fun mix of horror and comedy, with a relatable cast and creature effects that are still highly impressive decades after this movie was made. This is a good option for people who don't like the supernatural, but still want to watch something scary.
