Review of Eight Legged Freaks (2002) by Isaac J — 28 Aug 2009

Oh god...how do you review this? I honestly loved about 70% of this thing. But it falls apart a bit in the last section, and theres a couple of stand out bad sequences that were so bad I didnt understand what they were doing in such a great comedy movie...and furthermore a film that?s really well shot and edited.

Its a very problematic film...mainly because of the sounds the spiders make which makes them too silly for me...yes it?s a comedy and yes it?s a kids film. But I feel they should have gone for a bit more scary and violent...and that for me was where the problem is...I wanted a adult horror film...because I am a adult...and probably because I just saw The Mist...but the other problem was that the jokes in the last 30% got too silly...but I emphasis strongly here that I?m talking about the last 30% and a ONE scene near the start...started to get quite flat...but there were some genuinely really funny stuff in the first 70% I had a good time with that 70%?

...I had a *very* good time with the 70%.
