darksyde-63508 While technically a "horror comedy", Big Ass Spider has more comedy than horror. Having said that, this is still a perfect low budget midnight movie. Unusual for most low budget films, this actually has decent acting, with some pretty good gore effects, and while the CGI spider is just kind of eh, the special affects are better than average for this type of film. And of you pay close attention, it comes as no surprise that you can see low budget king Lloyd Kaufman of Troma films play a jogger that gets crushed by the alien in spider in a blink and you'll miss it. Although like I said it's a lot.more of a comedy than horror film, I was pleasantly surprised and enjoyed this neat little flick.

Miguel If you're looking for a low budget movie that makes up for it by inserting original ideas, twisted premises, social/political commentary, well... this is not the movie you're looking for.This movie follows all the clichés of a man made monster movie: bad guys make monster by mistake, try to keep it a secret and deal with for a while, until it's out there and out of control, underdog/loser has some skill that's needed and saves the day in the end, there's a comic relief sidekick (very stereotypical) and there's a love interest along the way. There's really nothing original in the plot, and there's no message/point to be made that we haven't seen a million times before. However, for what it is, it does keep you entertained, and it does have the charm of a low budget movie, and some of the jokes work, I did get a few laughs. It's a non-pretentious, straightforward, bit-of-fun movie. Don't expect too much of it, but if you're in the mood for some mindless light entertainment for a couple of hours, I'd say you'll enjoy it.

Alex Vojacek Big Ass Spider! is a freaking B-Movie !OK, I said it. You can pretty much guessed that because of the title, also, the way the movie starts, pretty much says it all.You're gonna see a freaking B-Movie and it's going to be awesome.Big Ass spider starts ultra-fast, it uses very little time to develop it's characters and do it in a fantastic way, you have to take into consideration that these are going to be one-dimensional characters, because this is a freaking B-Movie.Why I keep repeating this is very important because the director and producers actually tried very hard to make a good B-Movie out of this, so, this movie is plagued with cheesy lines, cameos, jokes about other monster movies and so on..There is more than one thing this director gets right about this movie but dialog and acting comes first and this is where the movie truly shines, from guys almost laughing at a scary scene to the hilarious duo of the exterminator and the Mexican who start talking in Spanish when is nervous and the incredible stupid soldiers that stands still waiting to be killed, this movie is hilarious.There are a couple of nice places lines and cameos, like imitating scenes from Aliens and calling stupid names on the soldiers. (Private Green, SO good).The feel good aspect of the movie really stands out, primary because all the people involved was working fully aware they were going to do a b- movie, so they intentionally acted weird, they almost laugh at scary scenes, they jump and screams and say things out of timing and yes, incredible as it is, it works and you can actually feel this guys are having a lot of fun!I watched it almost completely sure I was gonna hate it and I end up loving it.Perfect movie for watching with friends and having a few laughs, specially if you're old like me and remember the 80' movies, not recommended for the serious movie-goer who can't stand a cheesy movie.

lillian_plascencia Loved this movie, it was hilarious and fun to watch with children around. Just loved the role that was played by (Lombardo Boyar) as security Jose and the exterminator Alex (Greg Grunberg), which both made a great team specially Jose (Lombardo Boyar) was hilarious through out the whole movie. Truly liked the filming which was in the surrounding areas of the City of Los Angeles. I actually rented this movie six times before I purchased it several times as well to give away to friends and siblings.. We definitely have to give credit to the the director Mike Mendez and the producers of this Sci-fi Hilarious movie…Wish we have many more of these movies out that are enjoyable and both children and parents can watch together.. I would like to congratulate the whole cast for an awesome job..you deserve the award that was given to you all for best movie on DVD, on Demand, etc..
