Earth Vs The Spider is a remake of the 1958 film except instead of a huge Spider attacking people we get a cross between Spider-Man and The Fly, a Secuirty Guard named Quentin Kemmer (Devon Gummersall) is working for a lab and is obsessed with comic books especially the Aracnid Avenger. When a group of armed men come into the lab and steal some things he's fired from his job. He then injects himself with a Spider serum and soon he starts to get spider like powers (Like Spider-Man) except he shoots webs from his chest not wrists.Things start to happen though as he slowly starts changing into a Spider Monster, Quentin's neighbour Stephanie Lewis (Amelia Heinle) is curious why he's hiding himself in his apartment all day while Det. Insp. Jack Grillo (Dan Aykroyd) starts to go on a search for the Spider. Earth Vs The Spider is a good Television movie with some great Spider effects.

Quentin Kemmer is a shy security guard at a bio-research lab. He can't stand up for himself, reads comics and is never going to get up the courage to ask out beautiful neighbour Stephanie. When a break-in to the labs see his partner and one cop dead, Quentin is blamed and fired. Emotionally a mess, Quentin injects himself with some serum in the lab before he goes – somehow believing it will make him strong and fearless. At first it all seems great – he is a hero who stops a famous criminal that has evaded the police – but gradually his gift starts become more of a curse.I have only seen one of the "creature features" before and it was awful, so I was a bit hesitant about coming back to the stable in case all their horses were cows. With Earth vs. the Spider things appeared to be good at the start; the comic book credits suggest a sense of fun that would come through the film and the plot clichés being put in place suggested that the series might have achieved the b-movie feel that it was aiming for. I suppose in one way it did achieve this though because it is derivative and cheap and clearly just put out as filler – which is pretty much what most b-movies were, we just tend to fondly remember some of the better ones. This is a pretty poor copy of The Fly; it tries to cover similar ground but by being so similar it only shows up how far short it falls in almost every way. The plot goes just where you expect it to and, without any real character or interest, Kemmer's transformation is totally physical and totally dull.Gummersall hardly helps this with a performance that involves just being quiet at the start and then just getting louder as more makeup is put on him. Aykroyd is a famous bit of support but he has little to do – likewise Russell. Heinle is OK but nothing happens around her to help her, meanwhile John Cho is just a curio find rather than being any good or funny.Overall this is a very basic film that will maybe appeal to teenagers surfing late night TV for some special effects. However it must be said that anyone looking for more should just go and rent The Fly which covers all the same ground but does it much, much better.

Me and my friend rented this movie in hopes that it would provide an hour's entertainment. And from the premise, this movie could have been good. Emphasis on could have been.Basic premise: Comic-book geek, working as a night-shift security guard at some sort of biotech lab sees his partner gunned down in front of him and impulsively injects himself with super-spider juice. he comes down with a fever, and when he recovers, he's got superpowers! yay, right? Wrong. his transformation into a spider continues progressing, and his behavior becomes more and more bestial. he considers himself a threat to everyone around him, and eventually winds up killing people. I don't know how it ended because I turned it off about 3/4 of the way into it.Frankly, it's amazing we lasted that long. We survived mostly by making fun of it relentlessly, but is really not much fun with this film as it lacks the outright ridiculousness of similarly poor movies such as Boa Vs. Python.The camera-work is poor, the acting is terrible, and the plot such a clichéd mess that even the old Captain America cartoons have trouble competing in terms of sheer lameness.if MST3K were still around, I'm sure they could make this comedic genius. Me, I just don't have the patience to sit through it.

Earth vs. the Spider is a good film that has a good cast which includes Dan Aykroyd, Devon Gummersall, Amelia Heinle, Theresa Russell, Christopher Cousins, Mario Roccuzzo, John Cho, Randall Huber, Zia Harris, Lloyd Lowe Jr., Michael Keenan, Ted Rooney, Dan Martin, and and Rob Hill.
