A team of back packers walking around the jungle in India run afoul of an evil spider-worshipping cult.
Director Terry Winsor relates the enjoyably dippy premise at a brisk pace as well as generates a reasonable amount of tension and creepy atmosphere. Token big genre name Lance Henriksen delivers a pleasingly lively and quirky performance as a mad doctor while Sohrab Ardeshir contributes an amusing turn as an eager local cop. However, this film alas suffers from annoying young characters who whine, argue, and get on each other's (and the viewer's) nerves as well as do all sorts of dumb things that put them in great danger. The cruddy CGI effects also leave a lot to be desired, but do add a certain tacky charm to the schlocky proceedings. An acceptable piece of low-budget horror junk.
