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.
