The problem is that the beginning & many scenes after prepare you for a creepy supernatural horror film, but as it turns out there's a lot of symbolism surrounding a troubled, since youth, man & his caretaker uncle. You are led to believe for almost all of the movie that the spidery thing has a life, but towards the end it's possible it's all in the mind of our protagonist. Great directing, acting, cinematography. Personally, I would have gone w/creepy vs. psychological.
