threat and horror
Clips from the 1975 sci-fi horror film THE GIANT SPIDER INVASION show people being menaced by giant arachnids. A woman squashes a spider with an iron, creating a small splat of blood. However, the effects are dated and unrealistic.
language
Bad language includes ‘crap’, ‘damn’ and ‘oh my God’.
