Review of Kingdom of the Spiders (1977) by Brad G — 20 Jan 2010
Filmed during the lost years of William Shatnerâ??s career, Kingdom of the Spiders is an enjoyable â??badâ?? movie about a town overrun by lickety-split web-spewing tarantulas. Both Shatner and Woody Strode throw themselves into their roles and ya gotta love â??em and their straight faces.
The film drags a little bit in the middle, but once the town riot/stampede occurs and the motel siege startsâ??itâ??s just a blast. And that final matte shot!?!?!? I would love to see what those character do after those credits.
The new DVD has a nice transfer (still waiting for a Blu Ray remastered edition) and there is a rather entertaining Shatner interview attachedâ??love his intelligent spider theory! VF.
