A young journalist, specializing in investigations into the existence of aliens, discovers that the army is conducting experiments on alien DNA, resulting in the creation of enormous, terribly aggressive mutant spiders. When one of the insects manages to escape from the laboratories, things get complicated… A laughable and unbelievable plot for this poor-quality home video product, which I strongly advise against renting. A sci-fi horror film that (probably due to the limited budget available) features absolutely terrible special effects: the enormous alien spiders look like those plastic tarantulas you buy in newsagents, and when they chase their unfortunate victims, you expect to see a hand at any moment moving the spider with a string. What else can I say! It is unthinkable that with the great means available in the field of special effects that production companies have at their disposal today, someone can achieve such bad results. You can only watch it with irony, just to have a laugh with friends; it probably deserves an even lower rating.
