[edit] Synopsis
Dr. Aranya (Jackie Coogan), a mad scientist, creates giant spiders in his Mexican lab in Zarpa Mesa. His motive is to create a master race of superwomen by injecting spider venom into every one of them. A must-see is the lovely Tandra Quinn.
[edit] Criticism
The movie is often criticized for its horrible acting, most notably from Coogan and from Harmon Stevens, who plays Dr. Leland Masterson. Don't sneeze while you're watching this movie - you may miss the escape of Masterson, the death of Wu, and the actual climax of the film.
