Eight Legged Freaks
“Let the squashing begin!”
Certified Crap. CrapScore 60, rated by 1 admin.
Higher CrapScores mean more entertainingly bad. How we score movies.
A mining town develops an infestation with a substantially larger leg span than local pest control anticipated. The comic screams and exaggerated arachnid attacks are deliberate, with enough affection for old monster movies to make the giant-spider panic a cheerful communal event.

Synopsis and movie facts
The residents of a rural mining town discover that an unfortunate chemical spill has caused hundreds of little spiders to mutate overnight to the size of SUVs. It's then up to mining engineer Chris McCormack and Sheriff Sam Parker to mobilize an eclectic group of townspeople, including the Sheriff's young son, Mike, her daughter, Ashley, and paranoid radio announcer Harlan, into battle against the bloodthirsty eight-legged beasts.
