C (Indifferent).
A giant spider is discovered in a cave.
"Tarantula" was a second-rate ripoff of "Them," and this is a third-generation clone. Each version has a lower budget and gives fewer fucks about coherence.

2026 movie #2. 1958. Giant spider terrorizes small town America. A high school couple help the authorities to combat it. Actually a lot better than it sounds. Decent special effects for its time. A bit dumb at times, like nobody brings a flashlight to the spider cave.
2024 movie #111. 1957. A woman hires three men to fly her to a remote canyon in search of her fiancé who crashed there 3 years ago. They find him alive but (spoiler alert) he's turned into a 25 ft cyclops! Apparently from all the uranium laying around. Fun film.
2023 movie #213. 1965. Boy genius (11-yo Howard) invents a goo that makes people grow. Delinquent teenagers steal it, grow to 30' tall and terrorize the town. Loosely based on an HG Wells story. Lots of loud music, gyrating bodies and all-round dumbness.
