geekdog.jpg "Horrors of Spider Island" 1962
To be honest I enjoyed this despite itself! My heart sank when it started in the waiting room of a "Talent Agents" with 12 girls who had just dropped from the cover of a 1950s pulp novel about "fallen women"! The agent was picking 6 dancers to go to work in Singapore. With the dancers chosen and en route the plane crashes into the Pacific and the only survivors are 6 dancing girls, the agent and his secretary. They find the titular island and, in a cabin, they find a dead professor in an oversized string web! The film then follows the gang's exploits on the island.
As I said, I enjoyed the film, despite the quality (not brilliant), the acting (juvenile), the plot (cheesy), the effects (not special) and the script (written in crayon by a baboon)! "Horrors of Spider Island" is one of those turkeys that you get fond of and can't bring yourself to kill and cook for Christmas.
Loved that spider (singular) 8/10 for sheer audacity.
