Starring Creator/LanaParilla and Creator/JoshGreen, the film involves a top secret experiment to genetically alter the DNA of a rare breed of spider aboard a NASA space shuttle. After a meteor shower redirects the shuttle back towards Earth, the ship crashes with only one survivor, who is now impregnated with the venom of a genetically mutated spider. The spider hatches from the body of the doomed survivor and begins breeding, giving birth to more genetic abominations that grow in size after each kill. Curious reporter Marci Eyre must now survive, escape and warn everyone before the spider reaches outside the desert.

* Area51: Or an expy of it.
* AlternateHistory: Assuming the movie is set in the early 2000s, the fact that the U.S. military is testing spiders as zoological weapons and getting loose in a city counts as one.

* Main/{{BFG}}/ChekovsGun: The experimental rocket launcher which Marci later uses against the spider.
* BittersweetEnding: [[spoiler:Marci may have defeated the giant spider but countless lives were lost in the giant spider's rampage throughout Los Angeles plus numerous property destroyed. Marci's friends are also dead. On top of that, the U.S. Government may be forced to acknowledge of the existence of the bioweapons project. [[TheStinger It may also open the possibility that Marci and Murphy may be captured by the government for further interrogation.]]]]
* BreakOutTheMuseumPiece: The captain of the commandos is armed with a World War II-era M1 Thompson while the rest of the team is armed with [=MP5=] submachine guns.

to:

* HeroicBSOD: Marci has one after [[spoiler:two of her friends are killed by spiders in the military facility]].

top that also gets wet.
* PoliceAreUseless: Averted since the LAPD would not have expected to deal with a giant spider.
* ShoutOut:
**The movie is a shout-out to several 1950s horror B-movies about giant monsters.
**The scenes in the military base particularly reminds many viewers of ''Film/{{Aliens}}'' due to the dark setting and numerous pipes lining up the hallways.
**John Murphy resembles [[https://houseofthedead.wikia.com/wiki/Gary_Stewart Gary Stewart]] from SEGA's ''[[VideoGame/HouseOfTheDead The House of the Dead 2]]'' with his suit on. Once he removes his suit, he slightly resembles [[https://residentevil.wikia.com/wiki/Leon_Scott_Kennedy Leon S. Kennedy]] from ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil2''. [[note]]Gary Stewart from ''The House of the Dead 2'' also resembles Leon S. Kennedy.[[/note]] Perhaps an Expy of both or a mere coincidence?

**She kills a smaller spider with a crowbar.
**[[spoiler:In the climax, she dangles from a helicopter armed with a rocket launcher to confront the big one.]]
