Alicia I love this movie so much

Actuakers One of my all time favorites.

Erica Derrick By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

Jenni Devyn Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

bababear What were people who watched this looking for? Oh, a low budget horror movie from Roger Corman? Do you think it might give me some new insight into religion and/or the meaning of life? Not.While I watched CAMEL SPIDERS I munched on Peeps (leftover from Easter). For those unfamiliar with them, Peeps are candies made from marshmallows. No vitamins, no minerals, no health benefits, just empty calories from sugar. Just like this movie, and just as much harmless fun.For absolutely no reason whatsoever a bunch of spiders from the Middle East that have wound up in the American Southwest grow to enormous size. They then begin to snack on the locals.Let's see, what do we have here? Newlyweds. A couple on the brink of divorce and their daughter, who has no self preservation instincts. Soldiers. The nice guy local sheriff. The couple who runs the local diner. Two businessmen (they wear suits and ties throughout the entire film) who are looking to scam the people who own the diner; think Mr. Burns and Smithers without the sexual tension. Students on a field trip. Their professor who has no math skills (he insists that the spiders have six legs when anyone can see that they have eight) and when he sees a spider the size of a large collie decides that the best thing to do is walk over and get a closer look at it.Admittedly, there a few beloved clichés that the authors could have brought in. Think how the school bus full of blind orphans enhanced the final act of CHOPPER CHICKS IN ZOMBIE TOWN. An elderly character, possibly in a wheelchair, could have raised the stakes. But you can do only so much with ninety minutes.The special effects are decent but not spectacular, but points for the fact that most of the time the spiders cast shadows. The acting is competent for what they're given. The direction propels the action forward and keeps the actors from walking into each other.Best yet, there are strange aspects of the story that can intrigue the viewer. Why does the hero hotwire a truck when the keys are clearly in the ignition? Why are two important secondary characters left stranded in the a car that won't start with no hint of their fate? And, better yet, why is a passage in the basement of an abandoned factory lined with brightly glowing lanterns that look to have very fresh batteries in them? Above all, where can we buy guns that almost never run out of ammunition? They can be set on automatic, firing round after round per second, and seemingly keep running for hours if necessary without overheating?The ending sets up a sequel. Maybe someday these sweet mysteries of life will be revealed.

mellowliving Why, why why why do you people keep making these movies? Who is stupid enough to fund these movies? The Syfi or however they spell the name now is well known to have the worst of the worst movies. But this, this movie takes the whole cake. Every single one of the actors in this movie are just, it just leaves me completely speechless about how bad they are. I normally don't write scathing reviews but I was compelled to write this after watching just 15 minutes of this below Z grade movie.The concept that SF channel movies use are neither scary or intelligent or even entertaining. Camel spiders are the most venomous spiders in the world and that it will kill you almost instantly? Really? I mean really? Just how stupid was the person who came up with this story? Do you not know how to use the internet? Can you even read? Did your mom always tell you that you were special? That is all I'm gonna say on that matter.The acting. Oh god the acting... I can say with 110% confidence and actuality that this is the worst acting I have ever seen in my entire life here on this planet. Oh, and the dialog. Who came up with the dialog??? Embarrassing... I will point out that the one young blonde chick is the worst actress I have ever seen. I take that back, I just cannot in good faith even call her an actress. Girl, you need to re-think your career and make some DRASTIC changes. I would suggest pornography as you are hot but then again that requires at least SOME acting.I am a very nice person and rarely bash people in real life and in the internet. But watching just 15mins of this thing made me so freaking angry and filled me with hate that I just had to write this. I want to warn others that this movie will seriously anger you.

gavin6942 Based on actual creatures that for years have tormented our armed forces in the Middle East, these creatures have now invaded the southwestern deserts of the United States. The Camel Spiders now freely hunt for prey, unafraid of any predator -- including man.This film should have some redeeming value -- directed by B-legend Jim Wynorski, produced by legend Roger Corman, and starring my good friends Brian Krause ("Sleepwalkers") and Jon Mack... how can this go wrong? I do not know, but it did.My biggest complaint about this film is that nothing in it is convincing. On top of the bad CGI spiders (which is to be expected from any Corman production these days), there is just no reason to believe the Middle East shots were in the Middle East. The Army uniforms do not look right, and it is not clear why they are wearing camouflage when not in combat.The story is thin... giant camel spiders attack. When you shoot them, they die. There is no subtext, there is no intellectual theme here. Just a creature feature gone horribly awry.

db3970 This actually makes Titanic 2 look like cinematic genius with Star Wars level special effects. Did not really get the last 1 minute of the movie, I actually thought the adverts had started rather then the film still playing. There are a few issues with aiming in the air to kill spiders on the floor. Also parts of the film are completely disregarded when the US Army come and save the day forgetting about the four other locations where the spiders are happily carrying on about their business. As an avid watcher of rubbish movies this is now my number one rubbish movie if I could have I would give it less then 1 I would. I cant believe that some of these actors had genuine careers prior to this movie or after it. I believe that I could direct the same quality of movie in my bathroom with a spider that comes up from the plughole.
