action
Things are looking bad for Colton West, a formerly acclaimed movie star. Two decades ago, still big in business and not missing from any action film, the aging actor now has to be content with roles in third-rate horror films. The real horror haunts Colton personally a little later: after volcanic eruptions on the outskirts of Los Angeles, fire-breathing spiders make their way to the surface from the depths of the earth. Colton, who is confronted with the beasts and quickly recognizes a danger for Los Angeles and its residents, first tries to warn others - but due to his fame as an actor, most of the people addressed consider his statements to be untrue. Only when it is too late and the arachnids reach the city, which causes the first victims and destruction, do others take the fight against the merciless creatures in addition to Colt, who is soon looking for his wife Olivia as well as his son Wyatt on.
reception
Lavalantula - Attack of the Fire Spiders , considering its deliberately absurdly staged plot and the deliberate “ trash factor”, received mostly average reviews. The presence of many well-known personalities from the Police Academy such as Michael Winslow , Marion Ramsey and Leslie Easterbrook was emphasized . To this end z. B. Peter Osteried on kino-zeit.de that "that ... makes up the attraction of this howler, who is otherwise a piece of cinematic junk according to all objective and subjective criteria", but the film "after all ... so bad [is] that it's moody ”.
“The plot and effects, including the spiders created entirely on the computer, are at the cheapest level, just as the fans appreciate. Who likes it. [...] "
On kino.de there is talk of a “good-humored animal horror disaster film” and watching the film is described as “a must for trash fans”.
"[...] To do with actual trash ... nothing at all. […] 'Lavalantula'… is not quite as self -deprecating as other depreciation projects from Syfy or The Asylum , the line-up generously recruited from former 'Police Academy' stars is actually quite fun. Not a good and not a good not-good film, but just a halfway bearable one. "
