Rating:  - A Multitude Of Tiny Fangs To Invenomate You...
Our story opens w/ two guys in Ecuador trying to get a cargo-plane full of coffee back to the states. These two would-be coffee bean barons are played by Howard Hesseman (Dr. Johnny Fever from WKRP) and Tom Atkins (The Fog, Halloween 3, Maniac Cop, Night Of The Creeps). They end up smuggling 3 men out of the country in exchange for cash to pay off the Ecuadorian military. What the pair doesn't know is that they've also taken on a host of other tiny, deadly stow-aways! This leads to death and destruction ... Read More

Tarantulas: The Deadly Cargo (Stuart Hagmann, 1977)
It says pretty much everything you need to know about American television in the seventies that this turkey was nominated for two Emmys. (Thankfully, none of them were for acting, writing, or directing.) Not only that, but like many disaster movies, no matter how bad, it attracted a surprising wealth of talent.
The plot, which you probably guessed form the title if you've seen any Irwin Allen movie: a bunch of deadly spiders hitch ... Read More
Rating: - Sure it's a cheap T.V. movie, but at 10 years old it sacred the ........
This is yet another of those late night movies that I watched growing up(with every light that I could turned on and feet firmly on the couch) and when I found this one for a dollar I grabed it up. I must say that it's not as good as I thought it was, but I had fun watching it again and yes I kept my feet on the couch.
Rating: - Rare made-for-TV movie finally on DVD!
"Tarantulas: The Deadly Cargo" is a 1977 made-for-TV movie which has been out of print on VHS for many years, and now is available on a licensed Canadian DVD (if not in stock on Amazon, it can easily be bought on ebay). It has very good picture quality, and was not taken from a VHS or poor analog source by the looks of it.
The movie itself is, well, pretty bad. I say this mostly because of the ridiculous plot and "facts" that are brought up in the movie. I've owned a Rose Hair Tarantula for some ... Read More
Rating:  - Unbelieveably Bad in Every Way
Maybe not ALL ways--it WAS only 97 minutes long.
I usually like creature vs. humans movies...I even liked "Kingdom of the Spiders"...but this one was just plain stupid. No one could willingly suspend his/her disbelief to the extent necessary to find the story anything but eye-rollingly idiotic.
