Watch Arachnophobia Online.
Movie Title: Arachnophobia Arachnophobia is available for streaming or downloading. |
“Arachnophobia” is a clever comedy/thriller sure to scare the spider-phobes out there. Jeff Daniels and Harley Jane Kozak star as Dr. Ross and Molly Jennings, a young couple who have moved to the country to start his medical practice. Little do they know that a huge, deadly spider has arrived from South America and is reproducing - a lot! One by one, town residents start dropping like flies, until Ross figures out they were all bitten by spiders. This brings back memories of a childhood trauma that left him with a paralyzing fear of spiders - and the spider’s nest is right in Ross’ barn.

There are many creepy scenes of menacing spiders that will have you looking around to make sure none are near you. They must have used some robotic spiders, but they all looked very real to me. The idyllic rural setting contrasts nicely with the intensely scary stalking spiders. Daniels is perfect as the dedicated doctor, and John Goodman has a small but funny part as an exterminator. The movie may be too scary for very young children, but others will giggle a little and gasp a lot.

I won’t go into the movie’s worth as entertainment here - suffice to say that I think it’s awesome and well worth 5 stars. But in this review I’m focusing on the technical aspects which I feel detract from the DVD.

This DVD (ASIN: B00000IQC4) features a transfer that is known as ‘matted widescreen’ which works fine on smaller 4:3 TVs, but which looks awful on larger screen or widescreen TVs. I believe that every DVD today should be made in ‘anamorphic widescreen’ format so that the image is enhanced for viewing on a larger screen. If it’s not then I think that the low image quality should be clearly marked in some way, as the lack of an anamorphic transfer makes a big difference in quality. In the case of this particular movie the image is very poor mostly due to the matted widescreen format that results in what’s known as ‘gutterboxing’ (black bars all around the image) when the movie is played on widescreen TVs. Some TVs allow zooming in to fill the screen in cases like this, but then the image becomes very grainy - so much so that it’s probably better to watch it in the ‘gutterboxed’ mode.
So in conclusion, those with the older standard 4:3 TVs under 30 inches probably won’t notice any loss of resolution. But for folks like me with big screen TVs I advise waiting until this movie gets an updated DVD treatment. Alternatively, if you own a DVD player that can play region 2 discs, the British version (ASIN: B00004D07J available from Amazon.co.uk) is an anamorphic transfer.
