The film is a riot!

"Arachnia" is a riot, it is a homage to B-movies of the 50's and is supposed to be cheesy and overwraught. I worked on the film as an intern and the only problem I have with it is that the director, Brett Piper is a scum-bag, the film is better than he deserves because the Producer David Giancola came in and finished it after he abandoned it. Brett treated the crew like crap and was only nice to girls that he thought he could bed down. Problem was, he is an old fat guy and was hitting on 17 year olds. Still, it is one of the best "six pack and a pizza movies" I have ever worked on and I have to date crewed on over seventy films. This is the only watchable film Piper has ever made (which he doesn't really deserve credit for). He is making porn now in N.J.

You're joking? He's making porn in NJ??!!!?? Man, what a loser!

He is doing cheapo horror for EI cinema, which i guess is the parent company of seduction cinema. I can't see why he "hates" having sex in his movies since the ones I have seen involve Misty Mundae who is pretty much the soft core sex queen of the screen now. I liked Arachnia much better than his Bite me (?) which was set in a strip joint with lots of nudity, some sex and heavy pot use.

The difference between this sh%t and B movies of the 50's is they may have been "cheesy"but they had a lot of fun and entertaining parts,this crapfest had NOTHING going for it,horrible acting,atrocious FX(if you can even call them that)lesbian sex just for the heck of it and a terrible so called "plot".I honestly vote this the worst movie ever and I have seen many bad ones,,0/10

It was a completely bad movie but you know what I liked it!
It is not the worst movie infact it isn't even in the top 50 there have been so many crappier movies than this,including blockbusters with millions spent on CGI.Enjoy it for the tongue in cheek movie it is.

I'm Bi so what!

Loads of bad acting, gratuitous nudity, and very fake spiders make this one a laugh riot.
Spoiler(?): Like many others on here, I was amazed the two bimbos lived all the way through the movie, particularly because I wanted them to die so badly. My only serious problem with the movie (and this is more of a pet peeve) is that EVERYBODY KNOWS A SPIDER IS NOT AN INSECT, IT IS AN ARACHNID; I guess someone forgot to tell that to the oh-so-knowledgeable college professor.

I paid $2.98 for this movie and it was worth every penny.

I actually liked the bimbo's annoying yes but cute.

Okay, the spiders were bad, the effects not much to brag about.. and I loved this movie from the very beginning to the very end.

- Deke doing a dive.. and the plane doesn't explode.
- "I didn't dream it, I was not asleep!" "I should hope not!"
- And lastly, the frying pan attack. Great weapons.. against humans.

B-movies like this is a fine good way to spend the middle of the night with.
