A disturbing movie is great when the best friend you have isn't a human being. And the family is very dysfunctional. Susan Bradley(Suzanna Ling) has a great fascination for spiders which irks her mother, greatly. Her father is a mortician which the wife really hates. She starts seeing his brother who happens to be lawman. Susan uses her pet tarantula on her mother to cause her to have a fatal heart attack. After that, she would use it on anyone who gets in her way. When some of her so-called friends come into the mortuary to give her and her father a hard time, she release her anger on those responsible. Susan would grab a couple of those big spiders, and the scream fest begins. Especially at the drive-in movie. The scare fest was intense when some of the tormentors die in the car, and one ended up in the hospital. Even the smallest and harmless spider would give her a scare. One of the other bad friend gets scared to death at work, while of the friends who died in the drive-in scare gets killed by Susan's creepy uncle. This movie is like "Psycho" meets "Arachniphobia". Of course, that movie doesn't come out for 14 years. This movie is not for the weak. You must be brave to see this. 4 out of 5 stars.
