Arachnophobia Summary
MPAA Rating: PG13
Director: Frank Marshall
Genres: Comedy, Horror
Rating:
Referring to the fear of spiders, Arachnophobia features a particularly deadly species of spider that manages to make its way from the Venezuelan rain forest to a small California town, thanks to the many oversights of entomologist Julian_Sands. Yuppie doctor Jeff_Daniels, fed up with the dangers inherent in big-city living, has resettled in this town on the assumption that nothing untoward could ever happen here to himself and his family. Before long, however, Daniels is trying to make sense of a series of sudden deaths-and to figure out why each of the corpses has been drained of blood. The audience, of course, knows that the culprits are those pesky South American spiders, which grow larger with each kill. To make matters worse, Jeff_Daniels suffers from a profound case of arachnophobia. John_Goodman supports the cast as a slovenly exterminator, and Frank_Marshall, longtime producer of Steven_Spielberg's films, makes his directorial debut in Arachnophobia. Hal Erickson, Rovi
