Spiders

Spiders is getting a limited theatrical/VOD release today and we've got an exclusive clip for you waiting inside.

In the clip, Patrick Muldoon and his pals encounter, well, spiders.  Lots of them.  Then, things go bad in this Tibor (The Gate) Takacs-directed creature feature.

You see, following the crash of a derelict Soviet space station into a Manhattan subway tunnel, a new species of spider is discovered in the wreckage. When the spiders mutate to gigantic proportions, an MTA subway employee has to save his family and all of New York City from destruction.

Read our review here.

You have to admire Spiders for its gumption. On what must have been a very limited budget, director Tibor Takacs (The Gate) goes for the gold, setting the creature feature in New York City and having it culminate with a giant queen spider rampaging through city streets. Pluck, in and of itself, however, does not automatically lead to the desired result, and Takacs is unable to align ambition and execution.  

On an ordinary, hectic day in Lower Manhattan, Jason Cole (Patrick Muldoon) is overseeing operation of the city’s subway system. The expected chaos of being a supervisor for the transit authority is abruptly interrupted by falling debris from an abandoned Russian space station. One of Jason’s subordinates soon discovers that the debris has occupants, and they are not peaceful. 

Last October's slasher offering, Smiley, is coming to DVD on February 12th from ARC Entertainment.

The story of the film follows a mentally fragile college student named Ashley (Caitlin Gerard) who, after learning of an urban legend in which a mysterious serial killer named “Smiley” can be summoned through the Internet, must decide whether she is losing her mind or becoming Smiley's next victim.

Meanwhile, we've received the DVD and final poster art for Spiders (no longer Spiders 3D).  Head inside for a look.

The nature-run-amok thriller hits theaters and VOD February 8th.

Millennium Entertainment announced today that they're planning a February 8th limited release of Spiders 3D.

The film is getting both a limited theatrical and VOD bow (the latter will be presented in 2D).

Spiders 3D centers on mutant spiders created by pieces of material from a disabled Soviet space station that crash lands on Earth. With New York City threatened to be overrun by the gigantic killer spiders who have invaded the metropolitan subway system, it's a race against time to stop the Queen Spider from uniting with her eggs before a deadly chain of events are triggered from the deadly reunion.

I find it fascinating that Spiders 3D isn't going direct-to-SyFy or DVD/Blu-ray but is instead making the festival rounds.  Today, it was announced today that the Tibor Takacs-directed creature feature has been named an official selection of The Philip K. Dick Science Fiction Film Festival and to celebrate, we're releasing a brand new clip has been released - you can find it inside.

Running December 7th through the 9th, The Philip K. Dick Science Fiction Film Festival celebrates their love of science fiction and metaphysics in cinema. The festival will be held at the Indie Screen Theater in Brooklyn (289 Kent Ave at S. 2 Street, Williamsburg, Brooklyn 11211) with Spiders 3D slated to screen at 10:20 pm on Friday, December 7th.

No word on an official release date yet, however, we'll keep you posted as always.

The insects-run-amok thriller Spiders 3D is making the festival rounds and we have an exclusive clip (and trailer, too!) featuring a pissed off multi-limbed beastie attacking two gals in an apartment complex.  The film is schedule to play Friday, October 26th  11pm at the Freakshow Film Festival in Orlando and Thursday, November 8th  9:30 pm  NYC Horror Film Festival in New York City.

The Los Angeles 3D Film Festival announced Spiders 3D is going to be making its world premiere during the festival's opening night gala celebration on Thursday, September 20th at the Regal Cinemas LA Live Stadium 14 at 10 pm.

Featuring a diverse collection of both studio and independent films, the 3D Film Festival takes place in Los Angeles, California every September (in 2012, it runs from September 20-22) and additionally hosts numerous smaller events throughout the world, including a touring festival across four continents, 3D educational events and  much more.

Tibor Takacs loves him some nature-run-amok action.  The man who gave us titles like Mega Snake, Rats, Mansquito and Ice Spiders (not to mention The Gate) is back with Spiders 3D.  

The flick is in post-production (so says the IMDb, but I swear I've been hearing about this damn movie forever and figured it was done by now) and we found a spiffy new one-sheet.  You can find a larger version after the jump.

Spiders 3D comes to us from Millennium Films, the company behind this week's release The Expendables 2 and the forthcoming The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 3D.  Maybe they'll squeak this one into theaters?

Following a crash of an old Soviet space station in New York City's subway tunnel, a new species of poisonous spiders is discovered. Inadvertently the spiders mutate to gigantic proportions and wreak havoc on the entire city.
