I enjoyed the opening credits of bright green coming at you while some action western music is playing. The opening scene has a lot of action. US forces are fighting against...Taliban? In Iraqistan or somewhere? One US soldier is killed. The enemy is carried off by BA spiders. The grasp of the spider causes one to shoot their guns aimlessly into the air instead of at the spider. A spider crawls into the mouth of the dead American soldier and makes it back to the US where through a number of plot continuity issues it is released into the Arizona desert. Do we really transport deceased soldiers in wooden crate boxes?The spiders are about the size of a cat. No one steps on them or crushes them. They can outrun a human and leap 6 feet into the air. They are very aggressive and always attack people's head...or crotch in one case. There are a number of groups of people trapped by the spiders, who for some reason hunt humans as pack animals. The spiders appear to be CG as are the flames from the guns.C. Thomas Howell plays the local sheriff and is not the main character. Brian Krause is the main character. The dialouge was unimaginative and boring as were the characters tossed at us.Little girl: "Mom, are we going to die?" Mom: "No we're not going to die. We are going to be just fine. Little girl: "Well, then can you and daddy get back together?"At one point we hear "Technically they are not spiders because they have six legs." If you count the legs: eight. The film reminded me of that old fashion Roger Corman over the top bad scenes. 4 stars is generous. Might work as a rental for the early tween.No f-bombs, sex, or nudity. Mild swearing, teens making out, rear urination scene, occasional blood squirt.

This movie is, perhaps, one of the worst movies I have ever watched. Starting from the bad CGI effects, all the way to the guns being marked with paint to show they are toys and not real, someone should have a little bit more expectations when making this farce. Had there been a smidgen of comedy in it, I might have enjoyed the movie even just a bit.While the landscape was beautiful, someone forgot to mention to the producers of the show, that if your characters announce they are in Arizona, maybe the license plates of ALL the vehicles shouldn't say California, including the sheriff's car.I almost felt sorry for some of the actors having to trying to portray anything resembling a real person, and can probably count on one hand the ones that actually did act. As a young actor, C. Thomas Howell had chops; now I know that he must only pick bad movies to make up his resume as he gets older; so sad.I especially love the fact that the group of people hiding out in the basement, were actually above ground, as shown by the windows in the background. Or when people go into a room, with a broken window, and state they'll be safe there.So many things were wrong, you could actually pick any scene from the movie and discover the ridiculousness of it all.If you really, really love crappy movies or want noise in the background while you are doing something else, this movie is for you!

Well, what can I say. Every now and then I love to watch a silly and bad B-horror flick. And really, for the lovers of bad, cheap cinema, there is plenty to still enjoy in this movie! And there is a big difference between a just plain bad movie and a movie that is being just so bad and silly that it actually becomes fun to watch. I feel that this for most part is being the case with "Camel Spiders" as well. No matter how bad and silly this movie gets at times, it still remains a pretty fun experience to watch.Of course the story is totally stupid and doesn't make much sense but basically all of these sort of movies feature the same type of story anyway. It simply delivers exactly what you could and would expect from it, nothing more, nothing less. So really, if you are into these type of movies, by all means watch it and chances are you end up enjoying it, for what it is. The characters are stupid but at least they aren't annoying (well, expect for the little girl perhaps but children always annoy me in these sort of movies), which really is a positive thing to say, for these sort of movies. Not that you ever feel involved with any of them. None of them are fleshed out and basically you already know how most of them are going to end up. At least if you are somewhat familiar already with these sort of movies.No, this movie really doesn't hold any surprises and it progresses in an extremely formulaic way. But hey, that's how Roger Corman works and this certainly has its charm to it as well and make sure that these sort of movies are always still better to watch than those coming from other cheap working studios.The special effects are some of the worst you are likely to see in a modern horror flick. It's also one of those movies that prefers to use CGI gore over practical effects. This is definitely something disappointing and it lets the movie look all the more fake and cheap. Only watchable to those who can enjoy and appreciate a big, fat, cheap, silly, fake looking Corman flick.3/10 http://bobafett1138.blogspot.com/
