Arachnophobia (35mm)
Koolhoven & Simons: Arachnophobia
During spring break, Koolhoven & Simons present a special youth creepy edition of their programme, kicking off with trailers from great scary movies such as Vampire in Brooklyn, Teen Wolf and Beetle Juice, followed by the main feature Arachnophobia.
Scared of spiders? In Arachnophobia, luckily there are also plenty of laughs, and no real horror. In the style of entertaining early B movies, Arachnophobia ('fear of spiders') treats us to brilliant acting from Jeff Daniels and John Goodman, who end up in a creepy-comical adventure with arachnids.
Jerry Manley travels to a remote sinkhole in the Amazon rainforest to help Dr. Atherton’s research expedition. Upon returning to camp, an unlucky cameraman is bitten by a deadly poisonous spider, who then hitches a ride to the US in his coffin...
Spider-cam-images give a spine-tingling impression of the spread of the spiders through the American suburbs, sharply directed by Marshall, who previously produced adventure classics such as Raiders of the Lost Ark, Poltergeist and Gremlins. Gruesomely great!
