Theatrical Trailer
Chapter Search, The real spiders in the film are actually South American tarantulas. The film had a team of five live-spider experts on hand. Steven Kutchner was the supervising entomologist, Jim Kundig was the live spider coordinator, and Chris Walas created the mechanical spiders. The crew also included 29 animatronic engineers who supplied the various creature effects.

Film has many references to Hitchcock films, especially "The Birds," for its concentration on obsessed animals, and "Vertigo," with its main character's paralyzing phobia. It also includes a shower scene that makes reference to the shower scene in "Psycho."

Shot in DeLuxe Color on location in Cambria, California, which is in Luis Obispo County. The other main location was in Venezuela.

Directorial debut for Frank Marshall, who was previously a producer, but has gone on to other feature projects such as the 1992 film "Alive." The film's production company, Amblin Entertainment, is owned and operated by Steven Spielberg. It is also the first release Hollywood Pictures, a subsidiary of Disney.

Film was shown at the 1991 Avoriaz Festival of Fantasy Film in France.

Los Angeles Times - Sheila Benson (07/18/1990)
