4.8 / 10 · TMDB

An airplane carring coffee beans from South America has some unpleasant stowaways: a hoard of tarantulas which overcome the pilots as the airplane is flying over an orange-producing town in California. The airplane crashes, and the unlucky inhabitants of the town release the poisonous spiders into their midst. Once the town's officials discover that the tarantulas are responsible for several deaths, the tarantulas have already descended upon the town's only orange-processing factory. The town's citizens risk their lives to remove the tarantulas from the factory while the poisonous pests are rendered motionless by the transmitted sound of buzzing bees

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film constructs a classic eco-horror scenario, relying on widespread arachnophobia and the tension of a small community under siege. It explores practical creature effects and builds suspense through sound design and claustrophobic settings.

Those who tire of subtlety will find a straightforward creature feature where the buzzing of bees becomes an unlikely weapon. What lingers after the credits is a primal itch and a newfound caution around cargo planes. — MovieFinder Editorial
