Well, what can I say. Every now and then I love to watch a silly and
bad B-horror flick. And really, for the lovers of bad, cheap cinema,
there is plenty to still enjoy in this movie!
And there is a big difference between a just plain bad movie and a
movie that is being just so bad and silly that it actually becomes fun
to watch. I feel that this for most part is being the case with "Camel
Spiders" as well. No matter how bad and silly this movie gets at times,
it still remains a pretty fun experience to watch.
Of course the story is totally stupid and doesn't make much sense but
basically all of these sort of movies feature the same type of story
anyway. It simply delivers exactly what you could and would expect from
it, nothing more, nothing less. So really, if you are into these type
of movies, by all means watch it and chances are you end up enjoying
it, for what it is.
The characters are stupid but at least they aren't annoying (well,
expect for the little girl perhaps but children always annoy me in
these sort of movies), which really is a positive thing to say, for
these sort of movies. Not that you ever feel involved with any of them.
None of them are fleshed out and basically you already know how most of
them are going to end up. At least if you are somewhat familiar already
with these sort of movies.
No, this movie really doesn't hold any surprises and it progresses in
an extremely formulaic way. But hey, that's how Roger Corman works and
this certainly has its charm to it as well and make sure that these
sort of movies are always still better to watch than those coming from
other cheap working studios.
The special effects are some of the worst you are likely to see in a
modern horror flick. It's also one of those movies that prefers to use
CGI gore over practical effects. This is definitely something
disappointing and it lets the movie look all the more fake and cheap.
Only watchable to those who can enjoy and appreciate a big, fat, cheap,
silly, fake looking Corman flick.
3/10
