[Earth vs.] The Spider, a review by GSyren


TitleThe Spider (5-060009-232708)
DirectorBert I. Gordon
ActorsGene Persson, Ed Kemmer, Gene Roth, Hal Torey, June Kenney
Produced1958 in United States
Runtime72 minutes
AudioEnglish Dolby Digital Mono
SubtitlesDutch, German
Overview
My thoughtsBert I. Gordon (aka Mr B.I.G.) isn't the most brilliant filmmaker in the world, but for a B-movie fan his films were almost always a lot of fun.

There are lots of things wrong with [Earth vs.] The Spider. I guess you'll have to disregard the fact that animals cannot grow that much bigger and still keep the same proportions. It's physically impossible, but it kind of goes with the territory of big bug movies.

The spider seems to be a tarantula, but tarantulas don't spin a web. The web looks like a cargo net, and not anything like a spider's net. The spider easily fits inside the school auditorium, but when we see it outside it's as big as a house. The spider is killed by an electric arc that is at least 30 foot, but the electric lines into the cave lie next to each other without any spark-over, and people hold the electrodes with just a rubber glove. The actors playing teenagers are way too old for their parts. One of them is in his mid thirties!

Despite all this there is something about this film that appeals to me. I can't quite say what it is. The story might be hookey, but at least it keeps the action going. The effects are inventive, if not always totally successful. But they're still more fun than a lot of the CGI crap we see today.

The Flash Marathon, a review by addicted2dvd


The Flash Marathon

Image: The Flash finds himself in a future he doesn't understand

Episode 15 - Fast Forward
An explosion caused by a missile The Flash tries to outrun sends him time-traveling into Central City of 10 years later. There, notorious villain Pike rules with an iron fist... and The Flash seems powerless.

Guest Stars:
Michael Nader as Nicholas Pike
Richard Belzer as Joe Kline
Vito D'Ambrosio as Bellows
Mike Genovese as Lt. Warren Garfield
Biff Manard as Murphy
Robert O'Reilly as Victor Kelso

My Thoughts:
This has always been one of my favorite episodes. I like the storyline. I liked Julio knowing Barry is The Flash (in the future). I always hoped it would turn that way for the series... but the show didn't last long enough to see that happen (if I remember right). And I also liked having a bit of an update on the pilot episode.

My Rating:
