Have a great day!
Have you Watched Eight-Legged Freak? I remember watching the poster for that movie back in summer of 2002 … they don’t make them like that anymore
@@starwarstragedy1937 Let me tell you discovering that one on tv at night with 14, yeah that was a trip. Watched again 10 years later or sth and was astounded how much artistic value it actually has when you research the author of the book a bit, and how openly interpretable it all is. Great film really, definately less accessible than others, but you just don't forget a movie like that
@@michaelwarwickvalencia8501 I came here to recommend Eight Legged Freaks!
Eight Legged Freaks (originally titled Arach Attack) is a 2002 monster comedy horror film directed by Ellory Elkayem and starring David Arquette, Scarlett Johanssen, Kari Wuhrer, Scott Terra, Doug E.
You did great considering you literally have what the title of the film is!
This is a perfect 1st "horror" movie for young teens. It's not gory, has the jump scares, and muddles the lines of reality
Nah. August Underground.
nah its really not, this is worse than movies with jump scares, it actually was the cause of my own fear of spiders after watching it as a young teen
@@carronline1 Doctor Who "Planet of the Spiders" for me.
My first horror movie was The Ring. I couldn't sleep with the lights off for a week. Then I got over it, and horror has become one of my favourite genres ever since.
James: "I think I'd be more terrified of a swarm of these things."
Movie: "ok"
I remember taking all my friends to this movie for my birthday party. I didn't realize they were like all terrified of spiders, and most left early in the movie. People stopped coming to my birthday parties after that lol
lol. 😂
Rip Julian Sands. He passed away not long ago. He went hiking and never returned. They found him deceased months later. He was Warlock in the “Warlock” movie from the late 80s-early 90s
TBR Schmitt watched this movie when he already had arachnophobia, and it was hilarious watching him get mad at all the places he'd be looking for spiders because of this movie. "Oh no, now you're telling me I can't shower OR shit anymore??" 😂🤣😂
Childhood memories. Man this film scared the shit out of me as a kid. Don't know why I watched it so many times. Mabey to overcome the fear. But awesome reaction man. Thank you.
Hahahaha anytime! Mans was putting himself through trauma haha. 🙏🏽
I remember it being on TV a lot back in the TV days when you just had to watch one of the ten things on the TV
I did the exact same thing when I was young. Now watching as an adult with James’ commentary I’ve had the sudden epiphany that it was just damn good, well made movie lol
This film is how you do a scary movie correctly. The direction, cinematography, writing, and build up are all top tier. You don't have to have lots of blood and guts to scare the crap out of the audience.
Glad to see you enjoying this film. It's also poignant as actor Julian Sands (blonde British scientist dude) tragically lost his life in the San Bernardino Mountains last winter while hiking when he became trapped in a fierce snowstorm. Dude was an excellent actor and left us way too soon!
I just saw that a couple of weeks ago! They didn't find his body for 5 months. So sad. I adore him in A Room With a View.
R.I.P. Julian Sands.
What's scary about this movie is the fact that it is rooted more in reality, unlike "8-legged Freaks"
Thats a fun movie though.
Yet eight legged freaks has more rewatch value...
this is to eight legged freaks what jaws was to deep blue sea. less serious but still good films. lol
Arachnophobia is an underrated classic. 8 Legged Freaks is trash.
anytime a youtuber says "I hope nothing happens to this character", the character always dies in the next scene lol
30 years later and this film still makes me crap my pants. Burn it with fire!
The spider in the lamp shade traumatized me. I think about it most nights when I turn my lamp off before bed😳😅
This movie is sooo great!
What makes it so good is that the 'monster' is just a spider. Much more realistic than your typical movie creature. Makes you believe this could really happen, unlike most scary movies.
I didn't take a bath/shower for almost 3 weeks when I saw this as a kid. F*** that scene! Thanks for bringing up those old memories. Great video, James.
Eight Legged Freaks is another good film for people who don’t like spiders, it would be hilarious to see you react to that
“That thing was throwing all 8 of its hands” 🤣
I can't believe you watching this man lol. My brother acquired arachnophobia just from watching this when we were kids. I'm somewhat of a spider-bro so I'm generally okay but ... creepy crawlers are still creepy crawlers. cheers to you for braving this classic film.
Absolute CLASSIC of a film!!! Horror with a pinch of comedy.
Been here from the start but I had no idea you had this phobia. Makes me even more excited to watch though :D
holy... this is a throwback for me. I remember watching this in theaters as a kid. Love John Goodman's character. Also made me afraid of spiders for a long time, but I was also 7 at the time haha
The animatronic for “The General” was devised and created by Jamie Hyneman of Mythbusters fame.
Scariest shower scene in a movie outside of Psycho
Loved the reaction 🤙🏽🔥 I really feel like you’d enjoy watching “8 legged freaks” if you want to see giant spiders but have a great time in the process
A great movie to get into the Christmas spirit 😁
Lmfaooooo
eighth grade, a girl did a book report on the novel this is adapted from but she only watched the movie (which had recently came out when I was a kid) which has a different ending. She got called out on it by the teach in front of everyone, it was crazy!
As someone who actually likes spiders, I gotta give props to the filmmakers for hitting the heebie jeebie button fully... LOL
If you ever want to watch a cheesy but fun spider flick, (more akin to what you thought Arachnophobia was gonna be), check out Lavalantula... Wild and hilarious ride
oh that's a good cheesy one too!
I love how this movie handles all the spiders in this movie and I absolutly love how much this movie terrifies me every time I watch it,seriously this is how spiders must be made if you're going for realism and it's because they look and behave so realisticly that I don't often watch this movie as it gets under my skin every single time I see it,the Godzilla sized tarantula in the movie "Tarantula" doesn't scare me mostly because of how comically big it is,it looks like something that I'm basically not afraid of,an unrealistically large spider that would simply buckle and get crushed by its own weight but the spiders in this movie evoke anxiety, fear and great intrigue in me mostly due to how realistic they look and behave,if you want to watch a spider movie that both scares you and makes you laugh I highly recommend that you watch Eight Legged Freaks,I'll say just one thing about that movie but that's it,it's a movie that knows not to take itself too seriously and actually embraces its humour rather than fight it and become "unintentionally" funny
You might be thinking of 8 legged freaks. That has giant spiders or those really bad giant spider movies on sci fi😂
I had a love-hate relationship with this movie growing up. 😂
I can see why! I’d watch it again at my own dismay.
The animatronic tarantula was the first made by Adam from the Mythbusters
Saw this in theaters when it came out when I was a kid. Everybody was hugging their knees in the audience. The spiders could have been anywhere :(
8 legged Freaks is the movie with the big spiders you may have been thinking of. It's campy but it's a fun watch
JAMES you are brilliant. Clearly, you're a man who can likely take care of himself against any full size adversary, and yet reduced to shivers by our eight legged "friends." You're NOT alone! Thank you for the magnificent content.
I remember everyone in the theater just involuntarily lifting their feet off the floor throughout the film. Still makes my skin crawl. Great movie.
Thanks to this movie watching it as a kid to this day. Everytime I pour cereal into a bowl. I have to check the inside of the box for spiders as the cereal comes out.
Greetings from Finland man!!! There's a reboot in the making!!! Love your insight and break downs!!! "i'll be back" 😎
I live in Darwin Northern Australia and we've pretty much got it all here , deadly Spiders , Snakes , venomous Fish , Poisonous Jellyfish, Great White Sharks and giant Saltwater Crocodiles everywhere people even check there swimming pools before jumping in , just in case a Crocs taken residence . How do we live with it ? By being aware of your surroundings, watching where you put your hands and feet, shaking out your shoes before putting them on , staying away from riverbanks and definitely staying out of the sea .
Thanks for your channel I really enjoy your choices and commentary 👍
Wow when this popped on my notis couldnt believe that i had forgotten all about this movie and one of my fav reactors..lets go!!!!
That closeup shot of the spider eyes watching the flames is SO hardcore!
My favorite scene of the movie, honestly.
I love John Goodman in this- he brings the deadpan humor and cements this as one of the best horror-comedy movies!
Can you imagine being in the movie theater, eating popcorn, when that scene with the spider in the popcorn comes on?!?
Made to creep out the audience.
100/100
One of the creepiest films I’ve ever seen. John Goodman is the real standout of the film. He’s just so amazing in every scene he’s in. Great reaction James, I hope you’re doing well. Take care and have a great weekend!
This was very entertaining. Thank you James.
My least favorite game is when you go to bed at night and something crawls across your leg and then you play the "where's the spider" game after ripping all the sheets.
My mom and I saw this in the theatre when it came out...we were called the scream queens after that night.
I watched this when I was a kid. It was terrifying. I regretted it immediately but kept watching.
I love the theme music. I actually listen to that intro music quite often while I'm jogging. That might sound strange but it gets my adrenaline pumping 😅
To make sure the spiders werent squished during filming, the book and the shoe had the bottoms cut out so the spider could safely fit in.
The giant spider movie you're looking for is eight legged freaks. A fun homage to 50's monster movies from the early 2000s.
Perfect, just the video to start the shift. Was just watching your robocop reaction, im right there with u on the not being alright with this whole movie 😅😅
I always check my towels for spiders. Spiders love they for some reason
Kudos to you for enduring the anxiety for our entertainment haha. The director, Frank Marshall, is a long time producer for and good friend of Stephen Spielberg, and you can see Spielberg's influence in his directing IMO. Marshall also directed Alive and Congo, two other very solid movies (Congo is fun, Alive is grim but pretty damned good IMO).
I grew up an hour from the town where they filmed this. Still looks the exactly the same today. Cambria, called "Canima" in the film.
Secret favourite character is the glasses intern guy.
This fm is a classic.
"How did they guarantee the safety of the spiders on this set?"
That's a really good question! The spider species they selected for this film was super intenional. Not only is it non-poisonous. It lives inside of trees, between the bark and the actual trunk, and spends a lot of time totally flattened out. So when the book drops on the spider and the little girl steps on it, underneath the book it's just spread itself out and is perfectly fine. When somebody picked up the book it just went about it's usual spidery business.
love this one. first saw it back on vhs around '95.
The saying goes that you gotta suffer for your art but you're suffering for other peoples art with this one! Above and beyond!
Another movie reaction where James doesn't clutch his pearls. They're right there, James! 😋
This movie is just a slow Tuesday for an Aussie LOL.
Great reaction James......
RIP Julian Sands
"I thought there were gonna be giant spiders..."
For that James, I would direct you towards 8 Legged Freaks, with David Arquette and a young ScarJo. It's not really scary, but is a fun creature feature comedy nonetheless.
I've seen one or two other people react to this film but this is by far the greatest reaction I have ever seen
One of my favorite favorite movies. Used to watch it allot late nights on TBS but I'm with you bruh. Jus burn it down lol😂
I've got a story about this Film from when I was a kid. I found on a tape with this recorded off of TV in a draw, which people did a lot back then as blank tape was cheap. My cousin was round my house playing with my sister, she found me watching it and joined in. My sister, who must have been 4 at the time, also stayed and watched it. She was really frighted by one of the jump scares. That night, she woke up screaming and telling my parents that she dreamt a spider was attacking her. I of course got blamed.
I've always seen this movie as a comedy, of course I had a spider on my bedroom when I was a kid (I used to live in the countryside), I called her Ursula and she was my pet for a while, so...oh! And RIP Julian Sands, what a sad loss...
YES omg ! Happy Friday indeed.
I've watched this film only twice since it came out and each time I have swore never to watch it ever again.... Let's go!!! #ArachnophobicReacts
RIP Julian Sands *the spider expert . Died hiking at the start of the year. Great actor. Check out Warlock.
You get so used to the idea that bugs are small, that seeing one the size of your hand would freak anyone out.
Yaaasss!!!! I love this film since day 1!!! Let me watch your reaction!
I remember when I was younger, some of the scenes with the spider attacking scared the sh*t out of me.
8 legged freaks is the giant spider movie. If you havent seen that one do so…Its hilarious and just a fun movie. It stars David Arquette.
This came out when I was 12. I don't have a natural fear of spiders but this movie had me checking under my bed sheets at night for months. The only other horror movie that ever had that effect on me was Jaws.
Hey, yo. I thought you had reacted to this but I'm old so probably my imagination. Looking forward to watching!
First time watching this movie as a kid I was eating a big bowl of popcorn in the dark. The scene came on and I turned on the light and double-checked my popcorn for spiders...
Such an enjoyable episode. James try eight legged freaks!
Awesome film, awesome reaction!
I still have this on VHS from back in the day. I used to watch it all the time as a kid. Definitely a classic!
My pet black widow died recently. It was like holding a baby mouse. I used to have tarantulas, but they were more like rats. Huntsman Spiders in Australia are where I draw the line, despite them being common and not fear inducing down under. They call them Toilet spiders, as in there is always one under it. I have limits. that spider crosses them.
ROCK AND ROLL!!!
If you don’t start looking around the room and itching while watching this it’s something wrong lol
I've seen this movie a couple of times, it's amzing! I too have a pretty intense fear of spiders, and also will rescue them when possible :D I really like Jeff Daniels as an actor, so crazy that he's this guy and plays Harry in dumb and dumber!! watching this reaction i found myself looking around for spiders, making sure none were on me.. which is definitely what they were going for! :D :D
9:58 that one would be Big Ass Spider! (2013), i also recomend Eight Legged Freaks (2002) with David Arquette, the first one is sci fi, but the second one is more on the comedy side so hope they can help you overcome your fear.
If you're after big spiders, then you gotta see "Eight legged Freaks" next. It's a riot!
Ur thinking of 8 legged freaks (which I love too lol)
Most of the spiders you see here are real, especially the drones (baby spiders). An example of a fake spider is the General himself when he walks over the leg of the doctor in the climax. That is an animatronic and it's so impressive!
Thumbnail says burn everything; this is the correct response
Also the Score in this film is beautiful 😊
This is the only movie where the jump scares are awesome and not annoying, or annoying in the good way because it knows how to get you lol
A few movies suggestions for three low budget but excellently made movies. Judging by some of the cult, indie movies you've reacted too. 1. Abel Ferrara's bad lieutenant a masterpiece, Harvey Keitel's best performance. 2. Mam bites dog, a Belgian mockumentary following around a serial killer in France. 3 sexy beast, a British gangster movie. All up there as cult classics. Great reactions from Ireland 🇮🇪
This one really got to me! I had a problem with brown recluse spiders at my house when this came out & almost didn’t watch it! Glad I did but had my exterminator come to spray again the next day! 😂
I listened to the whole thing but when you said “that’s such a cool macro shot with the spider eyes” my curiosity got the best of me and I hated it, now I am afraid of spiders looking at me as much as I am afraid of them. Watch ice spiders next so I can feel validation for being terrified
Spider? Felt like a damn Cougar… damn, DAMN! 😂😂😂
And this is the movie i watched as a kid that made me terrified of spiders. Wish i could watch this vid with you 😂
this movie GAVE me arachnophobia when i was 5 and here i am still scared of spiders
Most enjoyable Arachnophobia reaction, bar none hahahaha. Also shout out to Trevor Jones with the awesome film score on this one. It's one of my favorites and totally slept on.
Such a slept on movie .. so good
The movie you're thinking of would be "Eight Legged Freaks". That has the enormous sized critters that can take over the world!
Own it on blu-Ray, my parents scared the mess out of me with this movie when I was a kid. Still great, still holds up, still love it! ❤
I really think you should see Lucio Fulci's The Beyond which also has an intense spider scene.
