This used to be an old favorite and while still amusing, I can't but admit that the film has lost quite a bit of its shine over the years. There's still some cheesy fun to be had, but the scenes with the spiders are a tad underwhelming, and unless you share the lead's arachnophobia I can't see how this film will put you on the edge of your seat. The setup is long and the finale is too short. It's the middle part that is by far the most amusing, but the kills are relatively generic and a slew of famous B-actors fails to hit the right amount of tongue-in-cheek (Goodman excluded). There are some memorable moments, but overall I remembered this to be better.Read all
A decent enough survival story, though it made a much bigger impact when I first watched it as a kid. The plane crash looked a little sloppy, the actors aren't that great and the film gets a little repetitive. Still, a nice setting, some moral dilemmas and a pretty impressive story make for just the right amount of entertainment.
