- In a dilapidated rural mansion, the last generation of the degenerate, inbred Merrye family lives with the inherited curse of a disease that causes them to mentally regress from the age of 10 or so on as they physically develop. The family chauffeur looks out for them and covers up their indiscretions. Trouble comes when greedy distant relatives and their lawyer arrive to dispossess the family of its home.
- Rankings Position
- Critics' reviews
-
-
"Interesting mostly for its cast (Lon Chaney is surprisingly affecting) and black-and-white, early-’60s ambiance."
-
"Everything that ensues is laughably predictable and silly, but primitive as it is, Spider Baby is a professional effort in which Hill makes an attempt at style"
-
"Spider Baby has built up a reputation as an offbeat gore thriller"
-
"A genuine oddity, the film is exceedingly well shot by cinematographer Alfred Taylor and has a creepy PSYCHO-like feel about it as well as some nightmarish surrealism."
