HORRORS OF SPIDER
ISLAND-1960-A group of dumb models and strippers are stranded with
their manager Gary (Alex D'Arcy) on an island after their plane
crashes. On the island they find a house where there's an old man
dead in a spider web. They learn that he was a professor working with
uranium and spiders. At night Gary is walking around shirtless and a
large spider bites him and he turns into a hairy faced monster with
fangs. After one girl is killed, the rest bicker a lot while looking
for Gary. Two researchers show up. There's a lot of romantic nonsense
and the monster is forgotten until he attacks near the end and walks
into quicksand. Everything about this innocuous West German horror film is
terrible. Especially the SFX and drawn out story line. The director/writer Fritz Bottger is credited as Jamie Nolan in US prints (I'm sure he
wouldn't want it any other way).
Thanks for reading!
