Better than Arachnophobia


This movie is better than Arachnophobia. Anybody agree.

Nope. No spider movie comes even close to Arachnophobia.

No.

Man, you can't even compare this movie to Arachnophobia!

They are totally 2 different types of films. Like wtf

I rather enjoyed this low budget flick! Just as good as Arachnophobia in my opinion.

I dislike Arachnophobia, but at least it was a somewhat coherent film. Seriously, this is called Kiss of the Tarantula, it's supposed to be all about some girl who gets revenge with spiders, and yet after the 1:00 mark (2/3 of the film) I don't believe a single spider is seen, much less a tarantula. To have her get her final revenge WITHOUT a spider being involved is just poor storytelling, to me.

There's a scene when Susan, as a young girl, puts a tarantula - a BIG one! - on her sleeping mother's arm. The woman wakes up, sees the spider, and dies from a heart attack. This scene starts only nine minutes into the film.

My original point stands. No spiders are seen AFTER the 1:00 mark and none are involved in the final revenge.
