Long before Nolan’s Oppenheimer, American films gave free rein to atomic fears through sci-fi movies featuring giant monsters, mad scientists or visitors from outer space. Tarantula came from the same paranoid hatchery of the mid-50s, but with a slightly more believable premise and elaborate special effects. Herte, the scientist is actually a philanthropist trying to prevent a looming overpopulation disaster. However, his irradiated nutrient creates a huge problem rather than a solution. Specifically a thirty meter arachnid feasting on anything it can get its mandibles on.
For the full skin crawling experience, we recommend you buy tickets for the whole programme of our Double Creature Feature.
