Earth vs. the Spider Movie Review 2001

Shares the title of the 1958 drive-in feature but not much else. Nerdy comic book fanatic Quentin (Gummersall) works as a security guard at a biotech research lab. After his partner is killed during a break-in, Quentin injects himself with a drug made from a mutated lab spider in the hopes of becoming an avenging superhero. Soon Quentin begins to mutate and no one is safe!
