The movie is not funny, it's not dramatic, it's not exciting, it's not romantic, and it's not interesting.
The movie is one giant cliché, the beginning playing like an after-school special, the rest of it resembling a poorly made-for-television production.

Entertaining escapism, Eight Legged Freaks is a blast of a creature feature thats just blatant good fun.
And the effects are terrific realistic enough to keep us on edge, but over-the-top as you would expect.

You get Elkayems pedestrian commentary, his mildly enjoyable short film that inspired the movie, a DVD-ROM game and 10 minutes worth of ho-hum additional scenes.
Like the film, its fun, but alarm bells should ring when you hear them announce, From the producers of Independence Day and Godzilla!

The film is very funny.
This movie is funny and crazy fun.
She is a pretty good actress and does a good job with her character.
