Arachnids

About This Movie

Arachnids (2015) spins a web of unease with its unsettling atmosphere and a unique blend of horror and teenage angst. The film follows a synchronized swimming team of five girls, where the newcomer Nina stumbles upon some disturbing secrets tied to her teammates and a nest of tarantulas. The pacing is intriguingly uneven, letting the tension build in a slow burn, which really sets the tone for the darker revelations. Practical effects stand out, especially the tarantula scenes, adding to the eerie vibe. Performances are solid, capturing that awkwardness of adolescence mixed with the dread of uncovering hidden truths. It’s this combination of aquatic grace and creeping horror that makes it a distinctive entry in the horror genre.
