The premise

Mercer's brother, an amateur pilot, crashes on an island and is killed by a giant spider. A year later, when Mercer goes in search of him, she discovers a breed of poisonous arachnids ready to attack.

Horror Vault's take

When a mysterious crash on a remote island sets off a chain of disturbing events, a determined woman leads a ragtag expedition to uncover what happened to her missing brother — only to find something far worse than a simple accident waiting among the trees. An alien encounter has given rise to a nightmarish breed of giant, venomous arachnids that view every newcomer as prey. Part creature feature, part survival thriller, Arachnid delivers relentless eight-legged menace in a jungle setting that offers no easy escape.
