Arachnophobia

This is way less gore-filled than my usual choices, but John Goodman was on the list of actors, so I had no choice but to check it out.

It's definitely creepy, you can see for yourself why in this long trailer that basically shows and tells the whole movie in one 2-minute video.

John Goodman is funny, as usual. The spiders in the movie are strangely real-looking so that was surprising for a movie as old as Arachnophobia, which was released in 1990.



The story is, predictabley, about a young family who moves from the city to a rural area where they are in this big, country house. The dad is terrified of spiders and, to nobody's suprise, has to have an epic battle with the queen spider in the end of the movie to save his family, himself, and the whole town.

There's the classic "hot girl in shower smiling and washing her hair like it's the best time of her life" scene, which is no surprise in any movie anymore....



All in all, a fine movie, John Goodman is obviously the best part of the whole thing, and not to spoil it, but he's pretty much the under-appreciated hero throughout the whole film, so, kudos, John.

To wrap it up, here's a 2:59 minute video about the The Top 10 Most Venomous Spiders In The World to get your skin crawling, if it hasn't already yet! :)
