    OLD SPIDERS DIE HARD

    WHAT A TERRIFIC FILM IN HISTORIC 50's BW, HEARD ABOUT IT YEARS AGO AND IT HAS STILL ACHIEVED A 5 STAR STAR STATUS TODAY. AN OLD B MOVIE, A GREAT UNIVERSAL FILM DIRECTED BY JACK ARNOLD OF THE CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON FAME.

    SUPERB DIRECTION AND CLASSIC B MOVIE ACTING

    IF YOU HAVE NEVER SEEN THIS FILM, RENT IT ASAP - BRINGS THE CINEMA HOME FROM YOUR CHILDHOOD.
