The Giant Spider Invasion (1975)
Country: US
Technical: col 84m
Director: Bill Rebane
Cast: Barbara Hale, Steve Brodie, Alan Hale Jr.
Synopsis:
Spores arrive from across space and spiders hatch in Wisconsin that grow to giant size.
Review:
Extraordinarily old-fashioned creature feature; essentially it's Them! all over again but without the thrill, humour or even creature effects that are the equal. The little beasties are scary enough when they are tarantula size but the fully grown spiders are quite clearly moving about on wheels with legs set to oscillate up and down. Released on a double-bill with Cannonball in the UK - boy, were they bottom-of-the-barrel days!
