![]() South African director Sam Firstenberg ( Cyborg Cop I and II, whose second unit work on Crocodile got him this gig) keeps the pace going and builds tension, even though - apart from a pre-credits teaser - we don’t actually see any spiders until more than halfway through. Apart from a few crewmen, there are really only four characters, all of whom are well-acted, though Moll’s doctor is rather stereotypical (he even has an Igor-like assistant!). Spiders II (released in the USA as Spiders II: Breeding Ground) is an ambitious film which uses its limited budget well, especially with regards to depicting the mid-Pacific, given that the whole thing was shot in landlocked Bulgaria! The CGI spider effects by Scott Coulter, Chris Manabe and others are very good - more so than the puppet spiders - and the monsters are sensibly restricted to glimpses and partially hidden shots until the all-out arachnofest finale. There’s no explanation of where the giant spiders originated - possibly they are descended in some way from the beastie in the first film, although that seems unlikely. Now, the hunt is on, as an army of arachnids is after the succulent human flesh. This scientific side doesn’t actually make a lot of sense and is really just an excuse for some gruesome scenes and some cool giant spider shots. After the events of Spiders (2000), a scientist conducts genetic tests, and a couple becomes the perfect host. He does this using unwilling victims kidnapped from passing boats by Bigelow and his crew the victims are forcefully injected by the ovipositor of a giant (three metres or so) spider, and are then kept in sleep capsules until a baby (18 inches or so) spider bursts from their abdomen. Ill leave it to you to decide what to do. You could also spend your night in a fetal position pondering your whole painful existence and the mass crippling depression consuming your life. In fact, Grbac is conducting experiments in increased human immunity by combining human and spider DNA. You could spend your evening watching Spiders 2, also known as Spiders 2: Breeding Ground, the super rushed, unconnected sequel to B-movie Spiders (2000). Alex puts this down to hallucinations brought on by the constant antibiotic injections administered by Dr Grbac. Synopsis : Après le naufrage de leur voilier, Jason et Alexandra sont recueillis par un mystérieux cargo. ![]() ![]() Jason discovers that the radio isn’t broken, as the Captain claims, that the containers on deck are empty, that the ship is sailing in circles - and that there are dead people on meathooks in the freezer. Spiders 2 est un film réalisé par Sam Firstenberg avec Stephanie Niznik, Greg Cromer. Our protagonists are Alex and Jason Paulsen (Stephanie Niznik: Star Trek: Insurrection and Greg Cromer), a young couple whose yacht is wrecked mid-Pacific in a storm but who are rescued by a passing cargo boat, among whose crew are the slimy Captain Bigelow (Daniel Quinn: Scanner Cop I and II) and the sinister Dr Grbac (cult favourite Richard Moll, from House, Metalstorm: The Destruction of Jared-Syn and other memorable pictures). On the other hand, unlike the first film, the story is roughly the one on the publicity fliers. This has no discernible connection with Spiders. Producers: Boaz Davidson, Danny Lerner, David VarodĬast: Stephanie Niznik, Greg Cromer, Daniel Quinn, Richard Moll ![]()
