Big Ass Spider (2013)

When you're going to watch a low budget movie entitled "Big Ass Spider" you know how far, or high, the bar will be set, and this straight to dvd B movie thankfully doesn't disappoint.

Yes the special effects are pretty ropey to say the least, but director Mike Mendez has his tongue firmly in his cheek, it's fun and daft, lead Greg Grunberg is a likeable as the arachnid hunter out to save Los Angeles, and the whole thing is an affectionate tribute to the 50's giant creature flicks.
