Synopsis: Alex (Grunberg) is a pest exterminator. He ends up in a hospital hunting for a big spider. The military is looking for it as well.
Review: This movie looks extremely cheap and the giant spider looks like it escaped from a Playstation one game but that's not the point. The main character and his mexican sidekick (played by Boyar) are a funny couple and they go through the spider chase like in a monster movie of the 30's. The military are poorly played but who cares?? The movie is a lot of fun and short enough (80 minutes) so that you don't have time to get bored. It is better than the previous attempt of the director (The Convent) which was as cheap but less funny. It looks like a movie made between friends for friends and the cameo by Lloyd Kaufmann (creator of the independant cinema company Troma and director of the classic The Toxic Avenger) confirms this idea.
Rating: 6 /10
