Tarantulas: The Deadly Cargo [Blu-ray]

Description

A skin-crawling tale of terror begins when two Americans fly down to Ecuador to pick up a load of premium coffee beans. Unbeknownst to them, the cargo contains hundreds of lethal stowaways: gigantic, venomous tarantulas. When the plane crashes in a small California town, the furry fiends escape and wreak havoc on the unsuspecting inhabitants. Beware of the chilling arachno-horror that lurks within Tarantulas: The Deadly Cargo. Claude Akins (Tentacles), Charles Frank (The Right Stuff), Deborah Winters (The People Next Door), Bert Remsen (Code of Silence), Pat Hingle (The Falcon and the Snowman), Tom Atkins (Halloween III: Season of the Witch) and Howard Hesseman (Honky Tonk Freeway) are among those victimized by the eight-legged evil. Directed by TV and Film veteran Stuart Hagmann (Believe in Me).

Looking quite nice in HD, an upgrade over the barebones Freemantle Media 2006 DVD, now including an audio commentary from author Amanda Reyes, and podcast hosts Dan Budnick and Nate Johnson. Mostly mediocre film contains some nostalgia value. Comes with a slipcover.
