Well I thought it was gonna be all spiders and creapy crawleys and since I don't like spiders, I didn't want to watch it when my other half brought it for ME!
The film has a few recognisable faces in it although none of them are oscar winners. It starts straight away with loads of ordinary spiders in tanks and this is the only part that I really did not like, because they were real spiders. eugh.
The spiders have been able to eat contaminated food and this is what turns them into overgrown freaks, and now people, ostriches and even a stuffed mooses head? becomes food for them. The only one who knows the truth at first is a kid, needless to say no one believes him, afterall he is just a kid! The thing I find hard to believe is that all the pets and people start to go missing but no one wonders why or where? Then somebody believes the kid and everyone sees them for themselves and try's to escape.
There are quite a few funny bits and I realy enjoyed the film in the end, although most of the population of this town are now extinct.
I hope you enjoy it as much as i did.

Freaksis a curious effects-filled pastiche of those mutant B-movies of the 1950s and 60s. The plot is of the standard small-town-overrun-by-giant-spiders variety...
