Why this film was made in 1975 is a minor mystery. This throwback to early science-fiction pictures such as TARANTULA (1955) is moronic, plain and simple. It has no basis to be set in the mid-1970s, whereas the mutation-radiation films of the 1950s were responding to a very real notion of
the time. The title is self-explanatory, except that the spider eggs are mistaken for diamonds by Wisconsin farmer Easton. Come on now, no one in the Midwest is
that dumb.
