Quite boring really and not enough of the giant spider. Wasn't really exciting enough, even the end was lacklustre. Has that old 50's sci-fi in a small town in the middle of nowhere, USA that I love though so that saves it a little bit. Average at best.

Much lamer than I remember it being when I saw it on "Creature Features" in elementary school. The FX are pretty damn decent for 1955. However, all the things that are needed to make a movie a real movie -- acting, direction, writing, etc. -- range here from "standard" to "pretty piss-poor". After a while, you just twiddle your thumbs waiting for Mr. Superbug to show up again. Uses the "jump scare" and "the car won't start" cliches... and may, in fact, have started them

Suffers from a particularly awkward plot, but still well-directed and entertaining.
