With 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.

There is a certain beauty in the simplicity of a literal film title.

In an age when the grindhouse doesn't really exist anymore, it seems that Big Ass Spider! is made solely for a solitary snickering viewing.

| Original Score: D+ | Jul 1, 2016

Judged solely on the scale of Giant Spider Cinema, the slick and silly Big Ass Spider ranks surprisingly high.

| Aug 24, 2015

The relative lack of filler is another factor that sets Big Ass Spider! apart from other members of its ilk.

| Original Score: 7.5/10 | Apr 24, 2014

Director Mike Mendez brings his homage to those wacky creepy-crawly flicks of yesteryear to life with enough energy for several films.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jan 6, 2014

[Blu-ray Review] No one will be confusing "Big Ass Spider!" for anything more than it is—a silly sci-fi comedy about a giant spider on the loose—and that's okay.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jan 6, 2014

It'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.

| Original Score: B+ | Dec 26, 2013

The most pressing mental involvement that Mike Mendez's silly, scary guilty pleasure requires is - where does one place the inflection?

With a 30-rack of brewskis and some equally demented friends, Big Ass Spider could be one rockin' midnight movie experience worth a good laugh.

| Original Score: 6/10 | Dec 5, 2013

...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.

| Original Score: 87/100 | Dec 5, 2013

Revels in its silliness, and has a good time with its premise, creating a fun monster movie...

Many worse ways to spend 80 minutes can easily be imagined.

| Oct 25, 2013

With a movie called "Big Ass Spider!" you kind of know what you're in for.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 24, 2013

Aims for satire and settles for stale shtick.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Oct 23, 2013

"Big Ass Spider!" has a big ass problem: It thinks you're better than the material.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Oct 21, 2013

It's the kind of movie you wish they still had drive-ins for.

| Original Score: B | Oct 18, 2013

All the pacing of a classic monster movie is here, though director Mike Mendez is a bit more generous with revealing his carnivorous critter than some (I assume the budget was fairly small, but he gets value out of it).

| Oct 18, 2013

It is a low-budget production, but genre fans should still adore this anarchic monster movie.

| Oct 18, 2013

If you are a fan of the big monster genre Big Ass Spider! is a great film to waste a Friday night on.
