Still holds up well and still the best spider movie we have. What sets it apart is it uses real spiders and not CGI and the amount of nightmare fuel sequences we get of spiders creeping up on people. It's all very plausible sequences too (until the third act at least) so because of it i've been looking in toilets, popcorn bowls and shower ceilings ever sinse I saw it a couple years ago. The house set is perfect for this and that barn with spider webs everywhere and spider eggs is my worst nightmare. The worst thing is that nobody notices the infestation slowly creeping in and the spiders keep reproducing and when you finally realize it, they're everywhere and it's too late.

The third act is wild, so comedic and totally unrealistic but I have a theory: because our main character is terrified of spiders I think his mind is playing tricks on him, when we're afraid of something we tend to exaggerate the events happening before us. Maybe the spider wasn't that big. It's also a perfect demonstration of how we'll litterally [spoiler]burn the house down[/spoiler] to find a tiny intruder. I lived that third act when I had a centipede in my home a few years ago.
