Some Kind of Bait and Switch
11 November 2014
Survivors of a plane crash on a remote island find it is covered by spiders. When bitten, the survivors start turning into spiders!

Starring Barbara Valentin ("World on a Wire", "Ali: Fear Eats the Soul") and Alexander D'Arcy ("How to Marry a Millionaire", "Blood of Dracula's Castle"), what is this strange German gem? Allegedly one of the worst films ever made, it has a bit of charm.

The problem with this movie is the filler, which amounts to about forty-five minutes of young women running around in their underwear. Of course, this was the whole point, but it hardly makes for an interesting plot. If this was removed, it would be much better (also much shorter).

The horror aspect is actually pretty cool, with a really well-designed giant spider and some decent makeup on the "spider man" (D'Arcy). There really seems to be a lot of potential for a fun, low budget horror film here... but it gets vastly overshadowed by the "nudie cutie" aspects.

Although probably worth a look, it is not necessarily going to impress anyone.
