Curapedi I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

Hayden Kane There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

Cristal The movie really just wants to entertain people.

TheLittleSongbird Not the worst movie ever, not quite down there as one of them and there have been worse movies featured on MST3K. But is that any consolation? Not really, this is still a truly rubbish movie in every way possible. The horror elements is not enough and the overall effect of it is tame and to the point of unintentional hilarity. The lack of pace and suspense hurts it even further, as well as the special effects, make-up and such looking infuriatingly cheap. Ein Toter Hing im Netz felt more like an exploitation movie, with lots of beautiful girls, and oddly enough the girls are the only things interesting about that approach. The movie throughout looks amateurish with murky photography, choppy editing and dull lighting, while the music also falls as flat as a pancake with a lot of it being repetitive and ponderous. The script actually sounds like it was made up on the spot and the fight scenes are far too much in number and look cartoonish and juvenile, even the worst cartoons with bad action/fight scenes do them better than Ein Toter Hing im Netz. There is very little story so to speak and what there is of it is chronically dull and predictable, while the characters are just archetypes that do very little of note, even those who are meant to scare or threaten don't in any way and at times come across as goofy. The acting is so bad that it's beyond description and the sloppy, badly-written-and-delivered dubbing is even worse. On the whole, blood-curdingly bad. 1/10 Bethany Cox

wbswetnam What do you get when you mix sexy eurobabes, a few very lucky guys, a two-foot "moster" spider, a dead scientist and an uncharted island? You get the Horrors of Spider Island, of course! This thinly veiled "horror" movie is a sexploitation film featuring "dancers" en route to Singapore when their plane catches fire and slams into the ocean at hundreds of miles an hour. Of course, nearly all of them emerge without even a scratch. They make their way to an uncharted island where they waste no time making skimpy furry bathing suits to frolic around in. The women spend the majority of the time entertaining the men (!!!) and getting into occasional cat-fights with each other. There is a radioactive spider something-or-other which bites some guy who turns into a spider monster of course, but this doesn't seem the perturb the women too much. They're having too much fun getting naked and stuff.This movie is great camp and made great fodder for MST3K. Thanks, Bill Rebane, for yet another Z-grade movie!

drystyx Not all of the older movies were great. Indeed, the nazi party was in full swing in making propaganda movies, usually in science fiction, and didn't have to bother to be even a tiny bit subtle.Director Bottger waves his swastika as predictably as any one. With the vehicle being an airplane crash on a remote island with a giant spider, he contrives an entire story to show that brunette women must die and blonde women alone must survive. There just isn't any more to the story. It's the ultimate chick flick, with gorgeous brunettes biting the dust, but obviously the most depressing thing in the world for a straight guy. Brunettes are what guys want, and blonds are what women want guys to want.So the Hitler worshipers like Bottger had more than one target audience, but if you aren't a swastika waver, or a woman jealous of brunettes, there's just absolutely nothing else in this tripe. Absolutely nothing. And that isn't a spoiler, because it is very obvious from the start that this is going to be another nazi propaganda movie.

bkoganbing For those of you who think that Peter Parker's superpowers are what happens with a spider's bite than you best look at what happens to Alex D'Arcy in Body In The Web. Because I sure can only think of one other reason to see this film and that might not be enough.D'Arcy is putting together a troupe of dancers and it's him and this troupe of about ten beauties who crash in the sea on the way to Singapore and get stranded on a tropical island. Which happens to be rich in uranium and some spiders got into that uranium which has produced spiders the size of table tops. And when they bite you don't get the powers of Spiderman.This is a German production dubbed in English for American release and better had it been kept in Das Reich. Even the sight of all those bathing beauty types in various stages of undress is not enough reason to inflict this on yourself.
