Earth vs. the Spider is a 2001 sci-fi horror Made-for-TV Movie directed by Scott Ziehl, with a teleplay by Cary Solomon and Chuck Konzelman and Max Enscoe and Annie DeYoung from a story by Solomon, Konzelman, and visual effects artist Mark “Crash” McCreery. Starring Dan Aykroyd, Devon Gummersall, Amelia Heinle, Christopher Cousins, Theresa Russell, and John Cho with creature effects by Stan Winston, it is an In Name Only remake of the 1958 film of the same name produced for Cinemax’s “Creature Features” series, consisting of five movies that took the titles of various American International Pictures films, but not much else.Quentin Kemmer is a shy, awkward comic book geek who works as a security guard for a research laboratory and has a crush on his gorgeous next door neighbor, Stephanie Lewis. His greatest wish is to become a superhero like his favorite comic hero, the Arachnid Avenger. When a robbery attempt at the lab leaves his partner dead, Quentin is fired. Blaming himself for what happened and wishing he could have done more, Quentin injects himself with an experimental serum, derived from spiders and designed to give some of their abilities to humans, before he leaves.After a severe fever, he finds that he’s gained super strength, which he uses to save Stephanie from a stalker and become the hero he wished he could be… but the dream soon becomes a nightmare as he begins to mutate further and develops a horrific appetite, and he winds up in the path of Detective Inspector Jack Grillo, who’s investigating several strange murders where people have been drained of their blood and fluids… and where webbing has been found at the crime scenes… | |

It's All My Fault | |
Earth Vs The Spider 2001 / int_5ad80bf8 | comment |
It's All My Fault: Part of the reason Quentin injects himself with the serum is because he feels if he had acted sooner, his partner would still be alive. | |

Deconstruction | |
Earth Vs The Spider 2001 / int_8ae880f7 | comment |
Deconstruction: The film serves as one to Spider-Man, showing a far more realistic and horrific depiction of someone with the abilities of a spider. | |

Shout-Out | |
Earth Vs The Spider 2001 / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: The Arachnid Avenger is a blatant one to Spider-Man, along with much of Quentin’s plot serving as a darker turn on Peter Parker’s origins. Quentin’s surname, Kemmer, is one to Ed Kemmer, the star of the 1958 film. The basic plot of the film is either this or a blatant rip-off of The Fly (1986). | |
