Plot summary
An airplane carrying coffee beans from South America has some unpleasant stowaways: a hoard of tarantulas which overcome the pilots as the airplane is flying over an orange-producing town in California. The airplane crashes, and the unlucky inhabitants of the town release the venomous spiders into their midst. Once the town's officials discover that the tarantulas are responsible for several deaths, the tarantulas have already descended upon the town's only orange-processing factory. The town's citizens risk their lives to remove the tarantulas from the factory while the venomous pests are rendered motionless by the transmitted sound of buzzing bees

Movie Reviews
Kind of boring creature-attack movie that only has
Not the best.. but passable
I love all the 1970's "animals run amok" movies and was really pleased when I found that this TV movie had finally made it onto DVD.. This film is certainly not on a par with the fabulous KINGDOM OF THE SPIDERS. The acting is rather wooden even by B movie standards ! I must admit the scenes with the spiders deliver the goods and the scenes inside the dark warehouse work well. I do feel more scary scenes involving spiders attacking the cast would have added more tension. The overall direction is rather poor and fails to raise much tension. Too much "talk" and not enough spider action !im glad I bought this film to add to my "creature flix" collection but I certainly would not recommend unless you are a hardcore fan of these kinda B movies. 5/10
