Teil von Lange Nacht der Spinnen
Bei einer Expedition in Venezuela entdecken Forscher eine neue Giftspinnenart. Ein besonders stattliches Exemplar beißt einen Fotografen und reist in dessen Sarg mit ins beschauliche US-Nest Canaima. Nachdem sich das Trumm mit einer gewöhnlichen Hausspinne gepaart hat, schwärmt die tödliche Brut aus und sorgt schnell für erste Opfer. Frank Marshalls Regiedebüt Arachnophobia ist essenzielles Creature Feature und perfekt austariert zwischen Graus und Schmäh. Für letzteren verantwortlich ist vornehmlich John Goodman als robuster Kammerjäger, während der heuer verstorbene Julian Sands als Arachnologe brilliert. (mk)
Frank Marshall
Marshall, Frank is one of the most prolific producers of the past decades. Starting out under the wings of directors like Peter Bogdanovich or Martin Scorsese, his first executive producing credit was Walter Hill’s cult classic The Warriors. In 1981 he, together with his future wife Kathleen Kennedy and Steven Spielberg, co-founded Amblin Entertainment. Producing some of the biggest franchises of our time, such as Indiana Jones, Back to the Future, and the Bourne series, the five-time Academy Award nominee’s most successful phase as a director was the 1990s, when he made movies like his directorial debut Arachnophobia, Alive (1993), and Congo (1995).
