„Big Ass Spider“ ist ein weiterer Film, der ohne Letterboxd höchstwahrscheinlich spurlos an mir vorbei gegangen wäre. Nach dem sehr, sehr düsteren „Die Frau, die singt“, den ich gestern gesehen habe, wollte ich mir heute unbedingt etwas trashig, verrücktes ansehen und alleine als ich den Titel hier gelesen habe, dachte ich mir: „Bingo! That’s it!“ und man merkt bei diesem Film auch bereits nach wenigen Minuten Laufzeit, dass die Macher das Ganze keine Sekunde ernst nehmen. Glücklicherweise!
Um was geht‘s?
Eine riesige außerirdische Spinne entkommt aus einem Militärlabor und terrorisiert Los Angeles. Das Militär versucht ohne Erfolg, die Spinne zu eliminieren. Es liegt an einem cleveren Kammerjäger und seinem mexikanischen „Robin“-Wachmann, der Spinne endgültig den Gar auszumachen, bevor es zu spät…

Clue 14: Watch a horror film featuring a spiderFinally, a movie willing to showcase a mediocre white guy in a lead role.
A spider becomes bigger and bigger and an exterminator becomes an unlikely hero, even though he mostly gets helped by other people because he is just kind of an idiot. This film has an identity issue. You gotta make a choice are you:
- a straight horror film like Arachnophobia? no
- an intentionally bad film… -
Ein Film aus der Kategorie: Was zum Teufel hab ich mir da gerade angeschaut! Ich hatte ja keine Ahnung was mich hier erwarten würde. Ich wollte auf der Nachtschicht etwas Zeit totschlagen und da hab ich gesehen dass Big Ass Spider neu bei Prime verfügbar ist. Und das ich dann eine Eins A Horrorkomödie zu sehen bekam, hat mich echt überrascht.
Es gibt wohl keine rationale Erklärung dafür dass ich mit Big Ass Spider einen Mordsspaß hatte. Lächerlich überzeichnete Charaktere blödeln sich durch die banale Story. Zwischendurch gibt's sogar immer mal wieder kleine Horroreinlagen die überraschend gut funktionieren. Aber das absolute Highlight sind alle Szenen in denen Kammerjäger Alex und Sicherheitsmann Jose Jagd auf die Spinne machen und sich die…

Unlike similar single idea, high concept, tongue in cheek creature features, such as the disappointing Snakes On A Plane or the woeful Sharknado for instance, here's a cult classic in the making which actually delivers on its absurd premise.
Kicking off with an opening which not only riffs on the climax to Fight Club (no, really it does!), this has more arachnid skyscraper abuse and exploding helicopters in its first three minutes than supposed "masterpiece" Blue Is The Warmest Colour can muster in three hours!* Also, to its eternal credit, and with admirable artistic credibility, Big Ass Spider actually has a big ass spider pretty much front and centre throughout.....and it's a really big ass spider too, one a pest… -
You know those times when you just want to unwind with a light comedy creature feature like Eight Legged Freaks?
Watch Eight Legged Freaks.
Rewatch it.
Further compromises may lead you into a tangled web, trapped with little to look forwards to, other than a slow death.
Big Ass Spider! aspires to be a quirky slacker character study like Shaun of the Dead, only with Greg Grunberg as the poor man's Kevin James. He isn't. Grunberg has repeatedly proven himself to be a likeable lead, but the sense of humour on display is a drowsy cocktail of lazy frat. In which the ultimate punchline is repeating a statement or asking "Seriously?"
Director Mike Mendez has revisited the spider motif for…

Big Ass Creature Fun!
"Sooo, we got to shoot the Spider in the Butt?"
Mir schwillt immer das Herz in der Brust an, wenn Leute in den 10'ern noch mit einem gewissen Feingefühl und mäßigen Fachkenntnissen an das Topic "Creature Feature" herangehen.
Für mich sollte bei solchen Low-Budget Monster-Murks-Movies vor allem immer der Spaß im Vordergrund stehen und hake im Geiste gerne meine Monster-Checkliste ab, anstatt nach kreativen Innovationen ausschau zu halten!"Big Ass Spider!" unterscheidet sich nämlich zu 0% von den anderen 1.000 "Modern Creature Features" da draußen, verwendet aber eine zuverlässige 'Creature-Tropes'-Liste und arbeitet fast jeden Punkt darauf nach und nach feinsäuberlichst ab.

Big.
Ass.
Spider.
In case the title is too cryptic and you have unreasonable expectations about what you're watching.
The acting is dinner theater except for Ray Wise.
The spider looks, um, less than realistic but still fun.
!!!
Along with Transformers The movie, Orson Welles was considering doing this before he passed because money and free meals. -
Big Ass Spider! is a big ass mess with a bunch of big ass puns, one liners and at the end of the day, half-tonne fun. It's not quite a tonne of fun, but it's watchable in spite of the horrible CG and painful stereotypes.
Whatever, it's quite fun. Gustav made me watch this, I'm not going to complain. It's like a film-within-a-film buddy cop-comedy with as you can probably tell, a giant ass spider who threatens to be a combination of King Kong; and Godzilla. The more recent Hollywood adaptations that is. Up yours!

[A gang of baby spiders attacking a women and dragging her away and the main character says this...] Alex Mathis: "Oh no, oh damn, she dead. Okay guys let get out of here."
That right there is some of the worst acting and the worst line reading since the masterpiece of shit that was "The Room".
I don't really need to go into full detail about this movie. You can tell by the title that it's not even going to try to be good and would you know it this movie is awful, but it's so bad that it's actually pretty funny. I mean, good god.
The acting is dreadful, the directing is just playing bad and effects are just terrible. This movie is so bad it's actually pretty funny. I laughed more than once during this movie. It's on the same level of funny and bad like "The Room" or "Fateful Findings".

"The size of it is just unbelievable. It also appears to be hostile."
How can you pass up a movie called "Big Ass Spider?" This sci-fi horror comedy may have it's problems but it manages to be pretty entertaining ... and at only 80 minutes it certainly doesn't overstay its welcome. Effects aren't bad for what is obviously a low-budget film, and Greg Grunberg, a guy I liked quite a lot in the TV series Heroes, is good in the lead... he's having fun and it shows. Also enjoyable are appearances from Ray Wise and the dependably-creepy Patrick Bauchau. Lots of cliches here, from the mad scientist to the bumbling military to the reluctant love interest to the ethnic stereotype…

Der Fight Club unter den Spinnenfilmen
+ das poppigste Where is my Mind-Cover aller Zeiten
+ die Spinne mit dem größten Ass seit Tarantula
+ eine der seltsamsten Ray Wise-Rollen
+ die schrecklichsten CGI-Effekte seit [beliebigen Blockbuster einfügen]
+ La Cucaracha im Abspann= für einen Spinnenfilm aber immer noch erschreckend okay…
