Reviews
|
Entertainment Weekly -
Arachnophobia is a skin-crawling horror film that never loses its cheeky, throwaway edge.
|
|
Empire -
An exciting and thoroughly enjoyable, experience.
|
|
Newsweek -
It pushes the audience's buttons with Pavlovian finesse, manufacturing industrial-strength adrenaline. First-time director Frank Marshall has long been Steven Spielberg's producer, and he's learned the master's lessons well.

Chicago Sun-Times -
This is the kind of movie where you squirm out of enjoyment, not terror, and it's probably going to be popular with younger audiences - it doesn't pound you over the head with violence. Like the spider itself, it has a certain respect for structure.
|
|
Time Out -
Frank Marshall has crammed the screen with plenty of knee-jerk thrills interlaced with black humour. Designed to reduce the audience to a squirming mass, the film yields plenty of grisly pleasures.
