This film is a hell of a lot like Tremors, and I give Eight legged freaks points for just trying to beat it.
*Spoilers*
When all kinds of species of spiders are contaminated with the toxic waste that is accidently dumped into a local river/lake, they mutate into giant killing machines.
Amazing special effects definetley bring the freaks to life, and mixed with great acting by fresh actors and humour equals a serious challenger to Tremors.
Like Tremors, it's not gorey, just a little gross - well - probably not even that. Also I noticed when the spiders were attacking the mall one of the spiders up on the ledge was waving them in - like a commander. I thought this was funny - like lots of other things in the movie.
In my book, Tremors comes first, but Eight Legged Freaks gives it a run for it's money and is the second best sci-fi/comedy spoof i've seen.
8.7/10
By the way, if you don't like spiders you probably shouldn't see it.
