Review of Kingdom of the Spiders (1977) by Karly J — 18 Nov 2013

Well, there are mixed emotions about this one. Claimed to be a "cult classic" this movie, in my opinion, is that you couldn't make me watch it even for a good amount of money. Since we are in the era of technology where the level of technology is growing exponentially, we can't really be fascinated by movies like "Kingdom of the Spiders".

This can be a positive and negative thing. People who got to witness cult classics like "Kingdom of the Spiders" during their time were more positively affected, than kids born around the 90's and 2000's.

In terms of the plot, I feel like the movie wasn't realistic and it doesn't reflect human actions when an 8-legged crawler is on them. The only way I was affected by this movie was at the actual look of the spiders.

I would have to give them a good job for the way the spiders looked. Real or not, they pulled off a great looking spider. The acting in this movie was not the best as it seemed to reflect characters that lacked expression and seemed to be paralyzed once they were encountered with a spider.

Souderton Area High School's very own Mr. Curtis claims that "William Shatner is one of my favorites!". His class disagrees, however. A student which the name is disclosed for privacy claims that "Who is William Shatner? Oh.

.. The guy who talked funny?". I personally feel like the movie lacked a certain message and had no theme delivered to the audience. In conclusion, the movie failed to grab the minds of the young adults simply because it is outdated.

With the film industry correlating with the technology era, simple cult classics like "Kingdom of the Spiders" cannot be seen as a good movie. However, this doesn't mean there will be an end to cult classics, this could mean that more modern cult classics will rise as the old ones will fall.
