This was, well you could say, a movie I was not expecting. The Kingdom of the Spiders was an illegitimate and scientifically incorrect movie from the 1970's. The characters were all stupid including the SCIENTISTS, their moods changed towards the spiders or should I say tarantulas.

There were no other kinds of spiders in the movie just your generic tarantula from the pet store. I also found it quite idiotic that the two scientists didn't know how to kill tarantulas and resorted to fire extinguishers which seemed ineffective (Duh?).

Anybody who has played Pokémon would realize that bug type is the worst type amongst the 17 types of Pokémon available today! Bugs are all weak against fire, rock, flying, and poison type moves. In my eyes there were only two points in this movie that were actually executed well the first being how the music was in rhythm with the shots of the cow and how they introduced the movie with multiracial actors besides these two parts of the movie the rest was complete.

.. well I can't say. However the main underlying story from my perspective was a cheesy love story about two stupid scientists where they never actually confess that they love each other. Moving on to the spiders, tarantulas are carnivorous beings and rarely ever colonize let alone colonizing in the thousands.

The movie doesn't even stop there, oh no, tarantulas prey at night however in this movie not only do they colonize by the thousands they attack during the day. The stupid scientists obviously don't know anything about spiders and the stupid girl sent from the university was supposed to be the best in her field, how about uhhm no.

.. Being that spider's prey during the night why would they go to burn the hill of dirt first of all, at night? Lastly on my rant of this horrid movie TARANTULAS DO NOT SPIN WEBS! Although they have the ability to produce silk why they would all of a sudden use it to spin webs around the entire town and its people? The ending of this movie was so bad it barely deserves to be called an ending, it seemed as though they just forgot to put on in and just decided that the spiders will just take over the town in the end and everyone dies.

Never watch this movie, it's for your own well-being.
