Film Review: Spiders

HERE IS yet another flick that has its plot woven round the tentacles of the `favoured' screen-villain - the spider. Based on the story by Boaz Davidson, Steven Brooks has written the screenplay for the directorial venture of Gary Jones.

A snag results in a space-shuttle being grounded. Not just that there is also an uninvited guest on board - a menacing spider.

When the shuttle begins to cause problems, a self-proclaimed leader of a mysterious group takes control.

Cut to when Marci, a young investigative journalist and her two colleagues - Slick and Jake, hot in the trail of a project, are recalled and assigned to the `sensational shuttle story'.

The enthusiastic trio stumble upon the supposedly out of order space shuttle.

Further turn of events bring them in direct contact with the spider.

How they learn about the series of experiments being conducted on spiders in space and the deadly encounter with the six-feet terror which continues to grow in size, is what the rest of the narration is all about.

Starring Lana Parrilla, Mark Phelan, Oliver MacReady, Nick Swarts and H. Murphy.
