The last half century has seen the release of some incredible monster movies, including Jaws, Godzilla Minus One, and Gamera 3: Revenge of Iris.

Packed with adorable references to 50s and 60s monster movies, “Eight Legged Freaks” is hilariously over-the-top, making you laugh and squirm at the same time.

There’s a 1970s funkiness that emanates from Spielberg’s monster-movie adventure thriller, even when it goes into roller-coaster mode.
