Once more, a failed military experiment spawns an abomination. This time, a not-so-itchy-bitchy spider finds its way into the silent morgue of an L.A. hospital, and since then, the mutated creature keeps getting bigger and bigger. Now, it's up to an unproven hero, the neighbourhood's exterminator and bug expert, Alex Mathis, to enter into the spider's mind, and save the city--and perhaps, the world--from an ever-growing menace that threatens to level everything in its path.

Leave your thoughts about Big Ass Spider!.
| Film ThrillsDeirdre CrimminsThere is a certain beauty in the simplicity of a literal film title. |
| Digital JournalSarah GopaulWith a title like Big Ass Spider, the only way it could be truly disappointing is if it didn't feature a huge arachnid. Luckily it matches that ridiculousness with an equally over-the-top dose of humor and fun. |
| CraveOnlineWilliam BibbianiA hilarious and wildly entertaining b-movie romp that knows exactly what kind of movie it's supposed to be. |
| Arkansas Democrat-GazettePhilip Martin...oesn't deserve to be treated as one of those awful, misbegotten projects that can only be enjoyed ironically. It's a genuinely nice little movie and the people involved with it ought to have the opportunity to make more movies. |
| Blu-ray.comBrian OrndorfIt's a lively, slick little film with a clear ambition to revive the thrills and chills of the subgenre, with particular attention to consistency and gaiety. |
| The PlaylistDrew TaylorWith its tongue placed firmly in cheek (it is, after all, called Big Ass Spider), it delivers on a whole bunch of laughs and thrills, in a way that some big budget spectaculars can't even muster. |
| TheHorrorShowScott WeinbergJudged solely on the scale of Giant Spider Cinema, the slick and silly Big Ass Spider ranks surprisingly high. |
| The Film StageEthan VestbyIn an age when the grindhouse doesn't really exist anymore, it seems that Big Ass Spider! is made solely for a solitary snickering viewing. |
| VarietyScott FoundasAn exceedingly good-natured Z-grade creature feature. |
| The Hollywood ReporterJohn DeForeMike Mendez's shamelessly Corman-esque Big Ass Spider! does almost everything just a tiny bit better than it needs to. |
