Arachnophobia, a very creepy unsettling film for people who are very scared of Spiders in General incredibly brilliant Directing from Frank Marshall who adds lots of suspense & terror when the spiders are shown on screen along with Trevor Jones music score very creepy & Haunting I had to fast forward/skip certain scenes actually.. Jeff Daniels is ideal for this role, playing the cowardly but stand up doctor to a T. Even though I didn't have a love match with Goodman's character, he played it like he was born for it. Julian Sands - who I'm also a fan of - does what he can with the role. He's usually more...err, hard to think of the right word - maybe mesmerizing or stand outs (if the last is even a word), but here his character is more blah and drags him down with it. All others do a very good job, but nothing award winning, especially the kiddies. The spiders never miss a beat.
This is a fun movie to watch. The acting, especially by John Goodman as exterminator Delbert McClintock, is excellent, and the plot, while suspenseful at times, does a good job of blending in some humor as well (Goodman's "That's right, I'm bad" line after squishing an unsuspecting spider is a good example). I highly recommend this movie. Watch and get a good scare and laugh at the same time.
Overall rating: 7 out of 10.
