6) Arachnoquake (2012)
You know what sucks? Earthquakes. You know what sucks even more? Earthquakes that unleash giant spiders who like to spit fire and eat people. Don’t you hate it when nature throws a curveball at you like that?
Sure, movies like Eight Legged Freaks have already played out the whole giant-killer-spider theme, but Arachnoquake takes it fifteen steps further by introducing a natural disaster AND flamethrower capabilities into the mix, creating death in a myriad of ways. Surprisingly enough, this WASN’T a collaboration with Asylum, instead being produced by Active Entertainment, but the typical Asylum feel cannot be ignored.
Don’t worry, we’re left in the capable hands of Edward Furlong (too many Direct-To-DVD movies to count now) and Tracey Gold (Growing Pains), who do their best to not become a giant-spider-sized shish kebab. Of course, by “capable,” I mean “passable for a SyFy movie, but this isn’t a list of the BEST natural disaster films, just the wackiest.
I’d say fire-breathing-spider earthquakes ranks pretty damn high on the “wacky” scale.
