[edit] Trivia

the Trivia section says "If you listen throughout the movie spider "screams" can be heard as the spiders are being killed or when they are angry. In reality humans cannot hear a spider scream." If the spider were the size of an SUV, I think humans could hear it pretty well.

[edit] plot?

Shouldn't there be more of a plot? It is supposed to be scary.

[edit] Stun Gun

Where does she taze that guy? It's rather unclear in the movie.

[edit] Grammar

I've removed this from the trivia section:

Because of the lack of a hyphen, the title actually refers to eight freaks, each of which has at least one leg. Presumably, the intended title was "Eight-Legged Freaks."

While it is true that technically there should be a hyphen in the title, this is unlikely to be an oversight on the part of the film's producers. It's not unusual for media titles and slogans to break with grammatical convention, simply because too much punctuation can look too 'fussy'. REM deliberately avoid using apostrophes in their album titles, for instance. (Lifes Rich Pageant). Within the context of the article this sentence looks more like someone trying to show off their grammatical knowledge.
