There's a lot of potential here and it wasn't a struggle to get through it. A perfectly decent watch. The only big issues are really the questionable plot details.
1) When 3 of 4 teenagers at the drive in are scared to death, they only show the funeral of one of them. They only ever talk about one of them, never the other 2. I questioned for a bit if they were even dead but no, they're never seen alive again and look pretty damn dead in the scene.
And 2) the way most of them die is strange. They're scared to death by the spiders. The mom, I could understand since it was sort of established she had a fear of spiders so waking up with one on your chest right by your face would be horrible. Enough of a set up that I could suspend my disbelief that fear could kill her at all. But later in the film, a man dies of fear when he's trapped in a vent shaft and has spiders crawl over him. But he isn't afraid of tight spaces or spiders as far as we ever see or hear. They may be common fears but unless you, personally, are actually afraid of it it's not actually a 'fear'. For example I'm not scared of clowns at all. So why would one standing around doing nothing unusual scare me to death?
But most of the film, including the general plot of a spider loving girl, incestous pedo uncle (who definitely got what he deserved at the end, even it was one hell of a punishment) and ignorant but adoring father is pretty interesting :)
There's good, there's bad writing and there's weird. I'd recommend it to someone who isn't fond of gorey or graphic kills, definitely, but of course you should check if they're okay with spiders or not. Haha.
