Product Description
What do you get when you cross toxic waste with a bunch of exotic spiders? Eaten! The townies of Prosperity, Arizona will all become a screaming smorgasbord if mutated arachnids as big as SUVs have their way in this comedy/horror crowd pleaser whose creators include the producers of Independence Day and Godzilla. Spiders that leap like gazelles, web-spitting spiders, spiders that suck your insides out as if through a straw—they're all among the behemoths conjured up by an inventive effects team.
David Arquette (Scream) leads the two-legged stars, mobilizing the citizenry in a last-ditch fight to survive. Here's hoping they succeed. Otherwise, Prosperity—maybe the world—could be reduced to one giant, uh, website!

The small town of Prosperity, Arizona suddenly finds itself besieged by giant man-eating mutant spiders after a toxic waste spill. And it's up to a motley crew of heroes (David Arquette, Kari Wuhrer, Scott Terra, Doug E. Doug, Scarlett Johansson, Rick Overton) to squash this threat and save the day!
Directed and co-written by Ellory Elkayem, "Eight Legged Freaks" is a very entertaining bit of campy fun that often feels reminiscent of movies like the original "Tremors" and "Deep Rising"-- monster movies with a likeable cast and a strong sense of humor. It's well-directed and structured, and each character feels clearly defined and has their moment to shine. On the whole, it's a really competent movie. And the cast is absolutely great. David Arquette in particular shines in one of his best turns as a leading man, and Wuhrer is incredibly engaging and fun. Special props definitely go to an underrated Overton and a hilarious Doug. And Terra and Johansson also do quite well for their young ages. It's just a really good ensemble all around.
And thanks to Shout Factory, we finally have this movie on home video in HD. All around, the 2K transfer is very solid, and is a good step-up over the old DVD edition. The image is generally sharp and the colors are suitably vibrant. And the sound quality is also quite good. All-in-all, this is easily the definitive home video release at this point in time.
In terms of extra, Shout does provide us with a new retrospective documentary that is fun and engaging. Running about 45 minutes, it features interviews with several cast and crew members as they reminisce about the film's production. It's unfortunately noticeable that the documentary was filmed in the time of COVID, as all the interviews seem to be shot via webcam at the subjects' homes. But I can't fault them too much. They did the best they could during a global pandemic. Also present are previous DVD features including a fun commentary track and the original short film "Larger than Life" that inspired the movie.
I'm really happy that Shout has given a spotlight to this delightful little film. It's a really entertaining flick that deserves a lot more recognition. Hopefully this new release will give it some much needed exposure.
I'm giving "Eight Legged Freaks" on Blu-Ray a 5 out of 5. The movie is a lot of fun. The new HD transfer is excellent. And the extra are really solid. If you're a fan of horror-comedies, I'd highly recommend it.

Es evidente que este tipo de película no debe tomarse en serio, es una horror/comedy que cumple con su propósito: entretener.
Producida por Dean Devlin y Roland Emmerich (mancuerna de éxitos taquilleros como Independece Day, Day After Tomorrow y Godzilla), y protagonizada por David Arquette (Scream), Kari Wuhrer (Anaconda) y una joven Scarlett Johansson.
Basada en el cortometraje ‘Larger than Life’ también dirigido por Ellory Elkayem y filmada en un periodo de 40 días con un presupuesto modesto de $30 MDD (un tercio de ese presupuesto fue para los efectos especiales), está cinta se ha vuelto un clásico como Tremors, Gremlins y Aracnofobia.
El Blu-ray de Shout Factory tiene audio y subtítulo en inglés.
NO tiene audio ni subtítulo en español.
