Entertainment Reviews:
ambling arachnid set against the desert dunes looks almost plausible, even as its furry feet occasionally seem to glide above-ground.

One of the '50s icons of sci-fi, featuring a giant tarantula on the rampage.

The tongue-in-cheek tone would foreshadow another monster movie set in the desert, the nearly unsurpassed 1990 throwback Tremors.

Eventually, it's up to Clint Eastwood to try and save the day. No, really.

An easeful appreciation for the image of the poet as spider

As much science fiction as horror, the film is stuffed with pseudo-scientific gobbledygook that the cast do a commendable job of selling.

Description by OLDIES.com:
You can run and you can hide but there is no escaping the sci-fi classic Tarantula about a science experiment gone horribly wrong! When biochemist Leo Carroll (John Agar) decides to feed the world by using a special growth formula on plants and animals, he instead creates a spider of mammoth proportions with an appetite to match. Escaping from the laboratory and feeding off cattle and humans, this towering tarantula has the people of Desert Rock, Arizona, running for their lives. Can this horrible creature be stopped or will the world succumb to this oversized arachnid?
