Kingdom Of The Spiders Reviews:
KINGDOM OF THE SPIDERS 
2009-12-03 - A friend let me borrow this movie. I thought Kingdom of the spiders was pretty good up until the ending where real spiders were killed in the movie. That is what I hated about this movie. No Animals of any kind should be killed for entertainment.
Shame on the movie makers of this movie to have done that.
I would of destroyed this movie if it wasn't my friend's
I strongly recommend that if you are an Animal lover to not even bother buying his movie.
Tell your friends to do the same.
Giant Spider Invasion
Kingdom of the Spiders 
2009-11-17 - Classic 1970s sci-fi staring a young William Shatner. It was fun and enjoyable. My favorite part was the ending!
Arachnid fans should web this up quickly !
2009-10-23 - On January 19, 2010, Shout! Factory will unleash the Kingdom of the Spiders Special Edition on DVD. This is the 70's bug flick with William Star Trek Shatner as a vet fighting off spiders who are looking to take over an entire town. The spiders (tarantulas)are mad at the pesticides in their food and attack mankind..Very chilling. This is a chilling underrated movie that no bug horror film fan should miss. Directed by John Bud Carlos, this is far superior to movies like Ants! , Tarantulas,the Deadly Cargo, Empire of the Ants,etc. While there are no giant spiders (like Giant Spider Invasion) this movie contains hundreds(thousands maybe?)of nice size hairy spiders crawling & webbing their way toward mankind. This was released from Goodtimes full frame & uncut - now we can see it uncut and in its original aspect ratio...
Features include : all-new anamorphic widescreen transfer of the film, this Special Edition DVD release contains an all-new interview with William Shatner; an in-depth commentary featuring director John Bud Cardos, producer Igor Kantor, spider wrangler Jim Brockett and cinematographer John Morrill, moderated by HOSTEL producer Scott Spiegel and Lee Christian; rare behind-the-scenes footage; "Jim Brockett: Spider Wrangler" featurette; poster gallery and the original theatrical trailer.
This is the holy grail DVD release of Kingdom of the Spiders & is not to be missed..
Thank you Shout Factory !
"B" movie? Maybe, but super cool! 
2009-09-11 - I loved this movie ever since my childhood. Although it seemed "scarier" as a young child, I can still appreciate the concept of spiders taking over a town. This may be a "B" movie, but I love it never-the-less. William Shatner is fantastic, as always. I also love the 70's-ness of this film: The cars, the clothes, the music. Arachnophobia sucks in comparison to this film. I hate when people try to re-make a classic! You can't fix what isn't broken so stop trying. It's just gets ruined. Kingdom of the Spiders is cool.
Cool Spider Movie
2009-08-03 - I love this movie. I've enjoyed this film for years after first seeing it on TV back in the 70's/80's. I knew William Shatner as Rack Hansen long before I realized he was better known for piloting a "spaceship". "Kingdom of the Spiders" was a staple on my local light night creature feature growing up. I haven't seen it in years, but still vividly remembered it (especially the girl on the swing scene!!!). I finally got around to watching the DVD treatment, and am happy to say it's still a great movie gauranteed to give you a creeping case of the willies.
"Kingdom of the Spiders" is another 1970's nature-gone-crazy flick. It came out when a plethora of such films were filling movie and drive-in screens every week, movies like "The Pack", "Grizzly", "Day of the Animals", "The Swarm" and "Prophecy" all featured hapless town folk and tourists meeting the worst nature has to offer. I guess thanks to "Jaws" Hollywood saw a chance to make some money and pumped these suckers out left and right. "Kingdom of the Spiders" actually works and delivers the chills you would want. How could it not? I mean the movie's premise is that tens of thousands of highly venomous tarantulas are over-running a small town. If you are as creeped out by spiders as I am...you will get goosebumps. And what makes it better is that these are the genuine item, real creepy crawlie spiders...not CGI.
So if you are looking for a fun little movie, one that has some unintentionally funny moments as well as some real chills, you should pick this up. You can't ask for more than William Shatner and 10,000 spiders all trying to share screen time!
