I can not watch the movie I purchased. It will not play in American DVD players! It was shipped from England. I had no idea there were different "Regions" for DVD players or movies.
I got this movie as I like Classic B Movies of the 50's. A well made movie and the special effects are really good in this movie, as a 100 foot Tarantula terrorizes a small town in Texas as the town people try to fight it off. Really good acting from the stars and co-stars of this movie. A Must see movie. 10/10 Movie
classic 50s b movie giant spider crawling terror 100 ft high great entertainment to watch when you have nothing to do
A pretty standard entry in the "Creature Feature" B Movie genre which was rife in the fifties,and early sixties. John Agar,that colossus of B Movie acting,is his usual reliable self as a Doctor who cannot understand how animals being tested at Leo G. Carroll's lab turn out to be be growing to monstrous levels. Eventually a fire,and a very disgruntled employee of Carroll's,by this time severly physically affected by Carroll's activities,releases a giant Tarantula(Hence the film's title!)which starts eating local cattle,and townspeople at will,whilst the local Sherriff refuses to believe that such a beat exists. Finally,Agar and the local Police,and army burn the critter alive after a prolonged car chase along the freeway and all live happily ever after,that is until the next John Agar B Movie "The Mole People" made in 1956!.Read full review
When I was a little girl my Mum would let me watch the beginning of all the scary films. Then decide they were too frightening for me and send me to bed. So I have ended up with half watched old black and white movies with no conclusion to the stories in my head. So I am now buying them off e bay and re-watching them. I love them! My friend and I sat behind cushions and allowed ourselves to scream at this movie like frightened little girls... For its day the huge Tarantula is great and makes it dated as it should be. Its mad old black and white movie heaven for a dull Sunday afternoon on the sofa. I am giving it to my brother for Christmas.. hahaha!
