As terrible as you would assume it to be...

Needless to say that given this movie's title and concept, then I didn't exactly harbor the biggest expectations. And taking a look a the cast list before starting the movie certainly didn't help improve on that notion.

Writers Ricky Egan and Ken May wrote a rather generic and formulaic storyline and script. So you're not in for anything grand or revolutionary here. There was a nod towards "The Return of the Living Dead" with the 'Trioxin' chemical.

Of the entire cast ensemble in the movie, I was only familiar with Brinke Stevens, Shawn C. Phillips and Mike Ferguson. And they aren't exactly the pinnacle of top performers. The acting performances in "Arachnado" were wobbly.

The CGI effects were terrible. They looked like something that was discarded from PC games back in the early 1990s. Yeah, they were that bad!

"Arachnado" is not a movie that I would recommend you to waste 70 minutes on watching. Some of us suffered through this ordeal, so you don't have to - you're quite welcome. And this is without a doubt not a movie that will grace my screen a second time.

My rating of director Dustin Ferguson 2020 movie "Arachnado" lands on a generous one out of ten stars.

The b-horror subgenre features modest production values, simple plots, and reliance on certain horror tropes and clichés. The stories are often low-budget, low-quality, and sometimes intentionally campy or cheesy. The "B" designation originally referred to the second feature in a double feature presentation, with the "A" film being the main attraction. Over time, "B-movies" became associated with low-budget and less prestigious productions.

The horror genre features stories that aim to elicit fear, suspense, and a sense of dread in its audience. Horror stories often explore themes related to the unknown, the supernatural, and the macabre, and they frequently evoke strong emotional reactions such as anxiety, terror, and unease.
