Deadly cargo isn't overly scary. Actually a fun watch
11 February 2018
Warning: Spoilers
A plane carries South American coffee beans, and crash lands because of stowaways aboard. Not hijackers or terrorists...tarantulas. The furry eight-legged critters hiding in the coffee beans also have attraction for the oranges in the small California town, where the cargo plane goes down.

This MADE-FOR-TV fare is pretty tame. Plenty of tarantulas, and they do look harmful to your health. The towns folk worry about the roaming arachnids destroying the towns main industry as well as taking bites out of human flesh along the way. The story meanders a bit and you could even say that the creepy crawlers are more lively than some of the actors. And that isn't saying much. The kills are limp and lame; there are some comical situations. So don't fear, just chuckle and have fun with this one.

The cast includes: Claude Akins, Pat Hingle, Charles Frank, Deborah Winters, Charles Siebert, Howard Hessseman, Penelope Windust and Bert Remsen.
