	Arachnophobia (film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Arachnophobia was an American horror and comedy film released in 1990 directed by Frank Marshall and starring John Goodman and Jeff Daniels.
		The film is about a small California town invaded by the cross breed of local spiders and a deadly South American spider from the Venezuelan Amazon that was brought into the United States through the inside of the coffin of one of its victims, a dead nature photographer.
		The film focusses on a physician named Ross Jennings, who is new to the town and faces a lack of patients due to an elderly rival.

	Arachnophobia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Arachnophobia is the fear (or phobia) of spiders.
		Arachnophobia is, in many cases, the result of a traumatizing encounter with spiders in one's early childhood, though the experience may not be remembered.
		The main phobias, such as arachnophobia, fear of snakes or mice, claustrophobia, stand out by their prevalence because they would have given over thousands of years a survival edge to sufferers and their offspring.

	DVDFILE.COM: Arachnophobia review
		The film has a certain B-movie feel to it and the larger budget and talented cast that Amblin brought together make it the picture that it is. The story is fun, but not particularly strong.
		For a film that is nearly ten years old the picture quality is not bad, but it is not up to par with the standard level of work that Buena Vista has shown us.
		Arachnophobia is a dark picture that does have some rather nice daytime exterior shots, however, the best action and sights are in the dark.

		Both films begin with death, which is misunderstood or ignored so that the rest of the disastrous events must transpire.
		Arachnophobia makes liberal use of dramatic irony - near misses that are avoided by luck or chance, people almost getting bitten but moving out of the way in the nick of time.
		You can find plenty of more Spielberg fingerprints in Arachnophobia, such as the rippled pattern of water marking the passing of the boat in the beginning and the later rush across the water as the coffin containing the bug and the body is flown back to America.

	Arachnophobia Movie: Arachnophobia DVD is available from Bestprices.com
		The film's opening moments picture an insect expert digging up and then tracking the travels of a poisonous male spider who has burrowed in the coffin of one of its victims from the Venezuelan jungle to California.
		Film has many references to Hitchcock films, especially "The Birds," for its concentration on obsessed animals, and "Vertigo," with its main character's paralyzing phobia.
		Film was shown at the 1991 Avoriaz Festival of Fantasy Film in France.

	David Loftus: "Arachnophobia" Movie Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		Whether or not "Arachnophobia" lifts you out of your seat in terror may have a lot to do with your attitude toward spiders before you walk into the theater.
		Still, there seems to be a healthy chunk of the population with a primal fear of our eight-legged friends, and that may push this movie's pleasant mix of horror cliches and belly laughs into the big profit column.
		The film opens with a prologue in Venezuela, with jungle and mountain vistas that seem too achingly beautiful to be real.

	Mutant Reviewers from Hell do "Arachnophobia"
		Arachnophobia is the feel-good eight-legged film of the 90's.
		Arachnophobia billed itself as a horror/comedy mix, but was a tinge too light in either subject to get full course credit.
		But really, Arachnophobia is the harmless sort of fun movie that you'll catch on some cable channel and end up watching to its finish despite any compelling reason to do so.

		Arachnophobia might deserve a slightly higher placement than numero otto, but we've got two spider flicks to cover and only one can be allowed top tier status.
		The film is certainly worth your time, and you'll be amazed with the amount of tricks the film crew was able to wrangle from their very real spider cast.
		The film isn't meant to be taken seriously -- it's more like an easygoing romantic comedy masquerading under the guise of a horror flick, which probably explains the rather poor showing Lake Placid had at the box office.

	Classic-Horror Review of Arachnophobia (1990)
		It does to me. But that's the hinge for this film, and takes up enough of the door that "genre fan" here necessarily means someone who doesn't mind their horror with a Steve Martin arrow through its head.
		But the film's called Arachnophobia, and all of Atherton's dialogue sounds like a National Geographic special, delivered by Sands in his best "no-I'm-not-just-reading-a-biology-textbook-to-you" style, so we know it's not just going to be a comedy with Manley doing pratfalls down mountains.
		Arachnophobia is not likely to go towards the top of your favorite films list, but it is an enjoyable way to kill a couple hours.

		The film is excellent, funny in some points, scary, too scary to be a PG rating.
		Steven spielberg gives a little help to the film and the music is brilliantly done by John williams, I think, see the film on a saturday night with a friend and enjoy it and be scared at the same time.
		City transplant Jeff Daniels, a doctor with severe arachnophobia, who wants the quiet country life as long as he doesn't have to see a spider, finds himself the center of controversy because of the deaths, and his newly bought house infested with the critters.

	DVD REVIEW: ARACHNOPHOBIA
		Mission accomplished, as I found "Arachnophobia" to be a fun-filled adventure with enough chills and thrills to satisfy most audiences.
		The film contained all of the elements that Marshall had mastered under his mentor and partner Steven Spielberg.
		Originally released in 1990, "Arachnophobia" is the kind of film that will bug you for years to come.

	Arachnophobia (1990)
		Now we have a "monster" film that plays upon our fears of the everyday, in our very own environment and there is no escape.
		A demonstration of this ability is provided very early on in the film, in a scene that actually had my wife (who has a morbid fear of anything that buzzes, creeps or crawls) in fits of laughter.
		His work here is almost sufficient on its own to turn the film into a comedy, with a stream of one-liners delivered with a ridiculously straight manner.

	Arachnophobia (1990)
		The film doesn't resort to gore to get itself over and combined with the comedy element, it weakens the horror aspect at times.
		There is some natural in-built fear of spiders in most people and the film tries to play on that.
		Final Verdict: Arachnophobia is an excellent film but it's hard to really class as horror because it's not scary.

	Arachnophobia
		Heinrich Heine University, in Dusseldorf conducted a research on people who suffer from arachnophobia, the irrational fear for arthropods (spiders, scorpions, ticks and mites).
		The researcher's original goal was to find out whether it is possible to induce nightmares to people just by projecting a certain film.
		They were asked to watch a documentary and write down their reactions, feelings and thoughts on a piece of paper answering to some specific psychological questions which would help scientists and psychologists find out more about what causes these phobias.

	BBC - Films - review - Arachnophobia
		While the sharks tried to recover from their poor PR in "Jaws", it was the turn of the spiders to get an image mauling at the hands of Steven Spielberg who produced "Arachnophobia".
		Added to that, the reluctant hero Jeff Daniels is nearly crippled with arachnophobia, so guaranteeing an edge-of-the-seat climax as he sets out to destroy the queen along with her bulging and somewhat icky nest.

	Amazon.ca: Arachnophobia (Widescreen): DVD (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		Arachnophobia is a fun throwback to the bug films of the 1950s and 1970s, but lacks either the Cold War paranoia of the former or the ecological awareness of the latter.
		Thus, the film blissfully stays at the creepy-crawly level without even the rudimentary depth of the classic ecokill movies.
		Daniels is equally good as the tormented M.D., running around like a petrified girl scout at the beginning of the film, but ultimately encounters the mother-spider for the showdown of all man vs. spider showdowns.

		Arachnophobia is a thriller that will have you checking everywhere for spiders for months!
		From the Steven Spielberg studios, under the astute direction of Frank Marshall, ARACHNOPHOBIA garners its menacing chills from a horde of mutant spiders who have murderous venom, superior intelligence and who swarm like bees or ants.

		In any case, "Arachnophobia" is a movie about these loathsome animals.

		Ross Jennings has a severe case of arachnophobia (a fear of spiders) but moves to a California town that's literally crawling with the obnoxious eight-legged residents.
		The film begins in Tennessee, in 1923, feisty country lads Danny (Josh Hartnett) and Rafe, son of a crop-duster, dream of flying and swear eternal friendship.
		The film is more a drama with paranormal elements than a bone-chilling horror-thriller.

		It’s not, however, as good as either of the two movies it immediately invites comparison to — Arachnophobia for the creepy-crawly spider jitters, or Tremors for the pesudo-50’s horror movie homage.

		Subtlety of characterisation is secondary to the antics of the 'little vampires', with victims conveniently earmarked (gluttons, a jock and an unshaven whinger receive painful lessons in social rejection), and John Goodman easily upstaging his co-stars in a glorious appearance as a bull-headed pest controller.
		Designed to reduce the audience to a squirming mass, the film yields plenty of grisly pleasures.
