Horrors of Spider Island: Difference between revisions

The film was a German flick, but represented an interesting midpoint in cinema between the traditional horror film and the nudie cuties that would pop up in the early-to-mid 60's that would lead to the eventual creation of the MPAA ratings.

 

 

* [[All Women Are Lustful]]: The ladies are stranded on an island, one of the only competent members of their group has gone missing, and the food's running out. When two average-looking men show up, you'd think the ladies would have bigger concerns than seducing them, but, well...

** The guys ''do'' bring food and supplies with them (they were resupplying the scientist who lived on the island), but forgetting about their missing friends is harder to justify.

* [[As You Know]]

* [[Does Not Like Shoes]]: The women start going barefoot all the time not long after crashing on the island.

* [[Digging Yourself Deeper]]: Joe and Anne. It starts with him saying he's glad her plane crashed (so he could meet her), and, well, if this movie were more competently written it ''would'' [[It Got Worse|get worse]], but the bit ends rather lamely.

* [[Failed a Spot Check]]: Plenty of easy ways to get killed by spiders by remaining unaware of surroundings.

* [[I Love Nuclear Power]]: Just being ''vaguely near'' uranium deposits is enough to make spiders into giant mutants.

* [[Immodest Orgasm]]: The moans from the sun-stricken dancers sounds... erotic. [[Lampshaded]] and deconstructed by Mike and the 'bots.

* [[Lego Genetics]]: They don't even bother to explain how or why radiation makes spiders mutate, or why their bites turn you into a werespider. Other than uranium deposits being nearby, and that's barely a [[Hand Wave]].

* [[Monster Misogyny]]: Kind of hard to avoid when the only two other guys come to the island in the last third of the film - and Gary is the first victim.

* [[Plot Armor]]: The only way that only the females and the talent agent were able to survive the flaming, nose-down, off screen plane crash - with nary a scratch.

* [[Quicksand Sucks]]

* [[The Scourge of God]]: Spider-Gary's first victim is the lone stripper of the group, who previously threw herself at Gary and only managed to get slapped by an angry Georgia.

* [[Sexophone]]: Heard whenever one of the dancers acts sexy, even when she's by herself.
