Ice Spiders review

Ice Spiders (2007) starring Patrick Muldoon and Vanessa Williams

Another "Most Dangerous Night" on Sci Fi Saturday with this interesting movie. I can take a lot, and I am the most tolerant movie viewer around; but this movie pushed me over the edge.

Synopsis:
Bunch of rich kids head to the mountains to practice for the Olympics at an off season resort. The resort is staffed by stereotypical wise cracking ski slackers. Just happens that next door is an abandon military base that the government is growing enlarged spiders to harvest spider web to make armor. The six spiders get loose and proceed to kill everyone, including armed guards. Our ski school hero runs one over with a snow mobile and kills another with a mounted deer head. (I guess the army should have tried that attack first.) To make a long story short, our hero gets the spiders to follow him on to the snowboard ramp where the another slacker blows them up with a avalanche cannon...


I can almost image the pitch for this movie to the studio. It had to be something like:
Writer - "First think of the movie Ski School then add in 5, no make that 6, giant spiders."
Producer - "You mean giant like the size of a house? with armor?"
Writer - "No, giant like the size of a dog."
Producer - "Are they invulnerable?"
Writer - "No, they can shoot webs like Spider man though."
Producer - "I love it."


Best Line: "We are doing this to save lives, spider silk is strong as iron. Our military needs it."
