The opening scene shows a Soviet space station run amuck with all sorts of spiders, presumably escaped from an experiment. There's also the skeleton of an astronaut. Then, a meteor hits the station, sending part of it crashing into New York City, where it ends up in a subway tunnel. Well, some of those spiders survived--and they are rapidly growing. It's up to Jason, a City Transit worker, to stop them. In fact, the "Queen" is this Godzilla-sized arachnid with a human-like face. Who doesn't quite have a human-like face is actress Christa Campbell, the female love-interest who I think has had one too many plastic surgeries.
This a paint-by-the-numbers giant monster movie, though I did think the special effects were quite good. Directed by Tibor Takacs (I, MADMAN)
