Audience Reviews

Gimly 5/10 Jul 26, 2020
Marvel as a tarantula in profile moves from left to right across the screen!

_Final rating:★★½ - Had a lot that appealed to me, didn’t quite work as a whole._
Niko 7/10 Nov 16, 2025
Very charming indie flick, I had a great time with it. It's a solid parody/homage to the monster movies of the 1950s and can be recommended to any fan of the genre.
