Arachnophobia

Buy This Item Arachnophobia by Walt Disney Video  Available from Amazon  $9.99  on 11-16-2008     Most horror movies depend on giant monsters; <I>Arachnophobia</I> gets just as many thrills out of creatures only a few inches long. A scientist (Julian Sands, <I>Warlock</I>, <I>A Room with a View</I>) who's hunting a vicious new species of spider in Venezuela unknowingly ships one back to the U.S. It ends up in a small town where a new doctor (Jeff Daniels, <I>The Purple Rose of Cairo</I>, <I>Something Wild</I>) is trying to establish a practice. When his patients start suddenly dying, Daniels suspects spiders--but no one takes him seriously because he's had a phobia about spiders since childhood. <I>Arachnophobia</I> builds a slow but relentless sense of menace and creepiness, mixed with a sneaky satire of small town life. If you're squeamish about spiders, this will get under your skin. Also featuring the ever-dependable John Goodman (<I>The Big Lebowski</I>, <I>Barton Fink</I>) as a comically zealous exterminator. <I>--Bret Fetzer</I> Reader Reviews Arachnophobia is the only movie that I have ever screamed at the top of my lungs at and that has made me hide under a blanket. I'm not even really afraid of spiders! It also has the perfect amount of comic relief. I've never giggled at a movie I thought was so scarey.
