Western Exterminator has been compiling its list of “20 Movies That Will Make You Call an Exterminator” this summer on its blog.
So far, movies 20 to 5 have been posted to the blog and readers are anxiously awaiting numbers 5 to 1.
A favorite among the PCT staff was Arachnophobia at #7, which the Little Man praised described as “a mixture of comedy and horror as a new species of spider is discovered in the jungles of Venezuela. The male spider watches over his brood as many are killed and taken back to be studied, so the big spider hitches a ride back to the states, ends up in a barn, mates with a common spider and produces hundreds of deadly, highly poisonous spiders that soon spread out across the town and wreak havoc. It’s actually quite a decent film, receiving positive reviews from critics. The real knock on this film is that the exterminator character played by John Goodman is portrayed as a buffoon rather than a qualified expert. Hollywood doesn’t always get things right.”
