A large spider from the jungles of South America is accidently transported in a crate with a dead body to America where it mates with a local spider. Soon after, the residents of a small California town disappear as the result of spider bites from the deadly spider offspring. It's up to a couple of doctors with the help of an insect exterminator to annihilate these eight legged freaks before they take over the entire town.

I hate spiders but I like this movie and it’s called arachnophobia. Now tell me how that works out? I would have to say John Goodman and Jeff Daniels is what makes this movie watchable for me. If the actors weren’t that great I probably wouldn’t like this movie. - @Wednesday, November 14, 2018 7:26 AM

I really love that movie even when myself suffer under arachnophobia. I saw it the first time when i was 15 and i still love-hate it 😁 They did such a great job on the spiders and how they use them in this movie. Whenever and wherever one of those spiders appeared it was absolutely unexpected for me. Together with the background music and atmosphere it freaks the hell out of me. After the almost first half of the movie my heart was like: "I swear, just one more spider and i will quit the job!" And with the great final the thrill was real... o.O Lucky me, my heart still beats loud and healthy so i can write this comment in honor of one the most entertaining animal horror movie i've ever seen. 👍 It's a wonderful creepy enjoyable horror movie for both; for people who love spiders and for those who absolutely hate them. Arachnophobia - the title say it all. Just lean back and let the nightmare guide you. 😎 - @Friday, July 13, 2018 5:30 PM
