On their way to Singapore, a sextet of models (Barbara Valentin, Elfie
Wagner, Dorothee Parker, Helga Neuner, Gerry Sammer, Eva Schauland, Helma
Vandenberg) plus their manager (Alexander D'Arcy) and his wife (Helga
Franck) crashland amid the open sea, and only after days of nothing but
water they reach a tiny island, an island that seems to be inhabited - but
when they find the hut of the sole inhabitant of the island, they find him
dead, hanging in a giant spider web. Of course, the dead man scares
everyone shitless, but what are they supposed to do? At the first night,
the girls' manager takes a walk, and meets a spider that attacks him. He
shoots the animal, but not before it bites him, and he soon turns into a -
spider-man. The next day, when everybody's looking for him, he kills one
of the girls. One month later: The girls are still marooned on their
island, but it seems spider-man hasn't attacked again. Then two research
scientists (Rainer Brandt, Harald Maresch) arrive, and they not only
manage to call a rescue ship for the girls, they also turn all their
heads, and everything ends in a big, alcohol-soaked party ... which the
spider-man also attends uninvited, and after killing one of the scientists
and a girl, he can be driven into the quicksand by the others with the
help of torches ... A great piece of Euro horror: It's cheaply
made, the plot is as thin as the monster makeup is ridiculous, the shock
scenes are almost hilarious, and the direction as such is nothing more
than bland - and yet for the dedicated Euro horror fan, the film holds
some hypnotic fascination that can't be explained solely by the presence
of a handful of scantily clad girls and (considering the time) plenty of
sexual allusions and situations, this is one film that just ahs to be seen
to be believed, to be experienced to be properly appeciated ... though in
all honesty, I doubt it will do anything to anyone who's not a fan of
cinematic trash.
