Itsy Bitsy it far from the worst horror film I've ever seen, but it's also far from the best.
The biggest problem this film has is that it focuses too much on the family drama, which should have been a subplot - there's too many of the mother's flashbacks to a car accident that claimed her son's life. She has a pill popping problem and it's not clear it this was the cause of the accident or vise versa.
The creature part of this feature is a spider goddess or avatar of a spider goddess that is out for revenge (though it's unclear what the family has done to deserve it).
Despite being a large spider goddess, it doesn't seem to have any special powers (aside from being able to conviently disappear when necessary).
The film could have focused a lot more on the spider goddess and the mythology and the tribe that worships her, but that's all sadly lacking. Also for a spider goddess, it dies in an awfully normal and easy way.
The fact that the giant spider is done with practical effects is actually one of the good points, meaning we're not treated to a terribly rendered cgi spider.
Sadly I don't think this film will ever become a classic creature feature.
