Lavalantula

2015 · 83 min

A gleefully silly creature feature where washed-up actors battle fiery spiders with B-movie charm and plenty of explosive set pieces.

Tagline: Fire Burns... Lava Bites
Overview: Giant lava breathing tarantulas – Lavalantulas – erupt out of ancient volcanos in the Santa Monica Mountains, raining death and destruction upon Los Angeles. With the City of Angels on the verge of incineration, only a washed up ‘90s action hero actor stands in the way of this monstrous swarm of bloodthirsty creatures who burn their victims alive.
How it feels: Absurd, campy, light and satirical. Brisk and easy to follow.
About: Survival, family, redemption, celebrity
Content: Strong violence. Mild gore and language. No sexual content.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
