Synopsis

After a hard day's work, an exhausted man can't wait to retire, and without delay, he lies in his soft and warm bed. However, much to his surprise, an enormous eight-legged adversary in the form of a frightful hairy spider crawls up on the foot of his bed, thwarting the man's plans for a good sleep. Suddenly, the broom next to him becomes the weapon of choice, but it seems that the persistent foe has already won. Who could sleep after such a fierce battle?

★ · The Movie · benjamin792 · 2025-07-24

The movie is about as short as a short on YouTube which is short. The plot was clear but unfunny. you cannot hear anything, there are no colors and the voices are terrible. The props were obviously fake and so were the actors. also, this film is so low budget that there was only ONE actor in this horrible movie. Last but not least, the movie ended on a cliff hangar and we did not see if he could not get a good night or if the bug did not survive and he was able to sleep. This movie is over rated and I'm the only person that rated it here!
