Tarantula (1955)
One of Universal's finest.
24 January 2002
After Creature From the Black Lagoon, this is the best of Universal's monster movies of the 1950's, and the best giant bug movie of the 1950's after Them!

The movie includes haunting desert locations and good special effects. The giant tarantula especially looks impressive. Good performances from the cast which includes British actor Leo J Carroll (The Man From U.N.C.L.E.), who was responsible for the tarantula to grow so huge. A young Clint Eastwood is responsible for the tarantula's death.

If you are a fan of giant bug movies like me, this is a must.

Rating: 4 and a half stars out of 5.
