Big Ass Spider

If you want a fun movie to watch this is a good one.  It is a well done comedy about a pest exterminator who chases the ultimate adversary.  This move used enough special effects without going overboard and good scripting for a creature feature.  If you are critical about special effects that don’t look perfectly real go watch nature shows and documentaries, as for me hand me the popcorn and a Pepsi.
