* SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments: The scene of Diane kindly interacting with a tarantula that has made its way into her cabin. She gently handles it, pets it while commenting on its pretty coloring, then releases it back into the wild.

* SpecialEffectFailure: The last shot of the movie depicts [[spoiler:the whole town covered in cobweb]]. Pretty scary, huh? Well, maybe... if it weren't for the painfully obvious fact that it's just a painting.

* SomewhereAnEntomologistIsCrying: Both the spiders' aggressiveness and sudden boost in venom potency is blamed on the reaction to their food supply being cut off by human encroachment on their habitat. Somehow the lack of food made the spiders (only the tarantulas, mind you) more poisonous, more aggressive and more numerous. Oh, and tarantulas don't use webs to catch food. They hunt. And, in the case of lack of food, would sooner turn on each other than try and tackle something even the size of a dog, let alone humans or livestock.
** All of this is actually brought up in the movie, the "loss of food supply" explanation is something one of the characters made up on the spot.

* NightmareFuel: For those with arachnophobia.
** Real spiders were used and plenty of them died during the filming, so those who actually like arachnids may find this movie disheartening. And given that an {{Anvilicious}} GreenAesop about not needlessly killing certain animals was part of the film's "message", it also goes right into BrokenAesop territory as well.
** Arachnophobia or not, [[spoiler: The final scene, where the entire town is encased in a web, is pretty horrifying.]] Not to mention pretty stupid for those members of the audience who know that [[TheyJustDidntCare tarantulas are hunting spiders, not web-spinners.]]
