In the Spider's Web (2007)
Director: Terry Winsor
Writer: Gary Dauberman
While trekking through the jungles of India, a backpacker gets bitten by a poisonous spider. His group enlists the help of Dr. Lecorpus (Lance Henriksen), an expat living in the local village. But things go horrifyingly wrong in this creepy-crawly thriller as they learn about the doctor's dark secret and a terrifying ritual at the heart of the village.
'Lance! Lance! Lance! what the hell you doing in so many junk acting roles, in the space of a few weeks he's turned up in this and the equally dire Bone Dry. Here he plays the slightly voodoo style Dr. Lecorpus who lives in a spider shaped hut in the jungle. The story's about backpackers one of whom gets bitten by a spider, they hear about a man who can cure spider bites so go to seek his help, only he's really some kind of voodoo priest. The scenery is lush and its nice to see so many movies lately being filmed in interesting beautiful locations, the sets are also of a high standard for a TV movie, its when you get to the plot and the characters it really fails. And the spiders are mostly substandard cgi only showing real spiders in close ups. Sorry its short but I struggled to keep awake to the end of this, and feel I’ve wasted enough time by watching it to waste anymore typing about it. It really is dire crap even the most harden bad movie fans (which I used to think I was one) are going to struggle to the reach the end of.'
