    Eight Legged Freaks (a really dumb movie)

    It's on again...
    Eight Legged Freaks is about chemically chemically enlarged spiders on a rampage...
    And it has the silliest sense of humor.
    Complete foolishness that works instead of all those goofy reality programs about badly run restaurants and people buying abandoned storage units of fighting the meter maids...
    Gimme a giant spider any day ! ! ! ! ! ! !

    I thought it was a hillariously funny movie. Who cares that it lacked any basis in reality, I enjoyed it. I especially loved the end where the guy's mall exploded

    I Agree. There isn't a brain in the movie worth saving but lots of laughs and craziness. There isn't an exploited cliche that you can't laugh at.

    I remember a movie from when I was a kid called "Phase IV" about some kind of solar storm causing the ants to become sentient and aggressive. Scared the hell out of me back then. Looking back, it wasn't that great...
    Fun fact: Humans are deuterostomes, which means that when they develop in the womb, the anus forms before any other opening. Which basically means at one point you were nothing but an asshole. Some people never develop beyond this stage!

    Any of you read the Spider World trilogy by... erm... drat, can't remember the authors name... but it was about a boy (then man) called Nial who lives in a world where spiders and all insects are massive.

    It is creepy as all hell.

    Yes. There was an Ant movie and a Spider movie. Even one with crabs too.
    The age of the radiated, mutated 'arthropod' movie.
    No CGI needed. Lots of fun and scary. No blood or gore necessary.

    It is these production values I would like to pattern my
    Attack of the Kudzoo concept.
    I have it pretty well fleshed out, even the ending with the withering of the attacking vines.

    Anyone know a Hollywood person?
    Yes, I have been in the O.C. so long I have lost contact.

    Re: Eight Legged Freaks (a really dumb movie)

    I think that they already made "Attack of the Kudzu" into a movie...
    "Day of the Triffids" or my peonies are poisonous and my violets have vagina dentata ....

    Sounds better than "Day of the Triffid Dentures"

    The famous Ant movies were "Them" and "Empire of the Ants" and the crab one was "Attack of the Crab Monsters"

    I saw Phase IV, I wasn't that impressed with it. Empire of the Ants and Them were more thrilling.
