This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place

Good concept, poorly executed.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

I guess the SyFy Channel thought they were on to something when they decided to make ARACHNOQUAKE, a combination of two of their preferred genres - the monster movie and the disaster flick. It's a what-you-see-is-what-you-get kind of movie, in which various characters are menaced by prehistoric underground spiders released thanks to some earthquake action. Oh, and said spiders can breathe fire...Yep, it's as silly as it sounds, and the execution couldn't be cheesier. There are CGI spiders running galore and none of them are remotely convincing. Sadly, ARACHOQUAKE also fails to be fun for the most part. It tries and fails to incorporate influences from the Grindhouse-style opening to events and stylistics copied from PIRANHA 3D, but it just can't catch a break. The humour's dumb and the characters dumber, and you end up just waiting for things to finish.There are a few past-it actors who've been rounded up to appear here, including TERMINATOR 2's Edward Furlong. Now, I know Furlong has aged quite badly over the years, but to be cast as the father of a teenage girl and husband of a 40-something wife is just ridiculous. None of the other cast members fare better, but you can hardly blame them when the characters are so thinly-drawn. Sadly, ARACHNOQUAKE is a film that fails as both a disaster AND a monster movie.

ARACHNOQUAKEYes... it is as bad as it sounds.This film is brilliant for comedy value. It is a B-movie with b-movie acting and b-movie effects.The film is about a lot of giant fire breathing spiders running wild killing people.The story is terrible. Nothing really makes any sense. Nothing is explained.The acting is so bad in this film, it is no wonder I have not heard of most of the cast... but there is one famous face in this. Edward Furlong... oh dear. His career has gone downhill. The thing is, he is a good actor. I obviously loved him in Terminator 2, and he also made a fantastic movie called Brainscan... But I don't know what he was thinking when he agreed to be in this. His acting is as bad as everyone elses!Also, in this movie his character is married with 2 children... his wife looks old enough to be him Mum and his 2 kids look old. I mean, it looks like he had these 2 kids when he was 8 years old! I can't help but think that casting was not very good.There was some brilliant comedy moments in this. If you like movies that doesn't really take itself too seriously, then you will love this.I really enjoyed it, but only because it had me laughing at it from beginning to end.I will give this film 5 out of 10.But it only gets that rating because I have not laughed that much for a long time.For more reviews, please like my Facebook page:https://www.facebook.com/pages/Ordinary-Person-Movie- Reviews/456572047728204?ref=hl

An earthquake unleashes giant spiders upon New Orleans. Giant fire-breathing spiders. Yup must be time once again for another SyFy original movie. And what would one of these be without some old TV and movie stars (here we get Tracey Gold from Growing Pains, Ethan Phillips from Benson, and Edward Furlong fitting the bill)As far as SyFy films go, this one isn't half-bad. I enjoyed it to an extant because of its utter ridiculousness. The acting wasn't too grating (besides one scene where a few annoying characters would not stop sobbing) And it passes the same question I've asked myself from 2002 onward of giant spider movies which is " Is it worse than Eight-Legged Freaks?" and the answer is no it isn't, but I haven't found a giant spider film that is yet.

I love watching monster/sci-fi movies. I have to give the producers of "ArachnoQuake" credit for casting most of the roles with non-traditional, non-"beautiful people" actors. Some of the male actors looked so similar, though, I was confused as to who was who. And it was a little weird to have a brother/sister relationship that might have been more interesting as a romantic relationship. Spoiler Alert: The viewer was left not knowing if the teacher with asthma died or not. They were right at a drug store. Why didn't they get her a new inhaler?!? At first, I definitely had the sense that she had died. But then she was dragged to an ambulance. Afterwards I thought I heard her daughter telling her father that she had died, but her husband/the father had no reaction! He was very concerned about her in earlier scenes, so his non-reaction made no sense. Overall, it was pretty bad. But I will keep watching these TV movies because sometimes they are very entertaining.
