The premise

Investigating the mysterious deaths of a number of farm animals, vet Rack Hansen discovers that his town lies in the path of hordes of migrating tarantulas. Before he can take action, the streets are overrun by killer spiders, trapping a small group of townsfolk in a remote hotel.

Horror Vault's take

When livestock in a quiet rural community begin dying under mysterious circumstances, local veterinarian Rack Hansen uncovers a chilling truth: vast swarms of migrating tarantulas are converging on the town. What begins as a wildlife puzzle rapidly escalates into a full-scale arachnid siege, cutting off a desperate band of survivors in an isolated hotel. Drawing on the era's eco-horror anxieties, this 1977 creature feature delivers crawling dread in relentless waves. William Shatner leads the cast through a nightmare that makes even the most mundane corner of a small town feel like a death trap.
