I crave some variety in my horror so Im gonna give this the highest 10 star rating solely and wholeheartily on the fact that it's finally a creature horror. The soul and imagination of horror cinema and what horror movies could be has been lost in time. Died and bled out in a sea of vapid, shallow james wan mainstream. Lame digital effects overtaken by craftmanship and art direction. Every haunted house, every exorcism, every zombie or arthouse indie horror is the same unscary, boring thing. It's always a human in a mask and kids in lame makeup, everyday instagram goth witches and ghost with long black hair. It's never scary. It's everyday music video fashion. And even if i never get tired of haunted house flicks.. I can only count 10 such movies as real masterpieces out of thousands of crappy ones. Get my point?.. theres literally countless of Trash productions each year that they all start to blend togheter.

And those rookie directors who try, have such small budgets and crappy directing that it never really works. Take badabook, eight for silver, sea fever, Legend, monster, barbarian, significant other etc they give an honest try but it's still humanoid villains or bad effects that break the illusion. It never gets freaky.

The best and coolest horror movies are the ones with unexplained horrific beasts, monsters and aliens. (Splinter, The Thing, Alien, Jurassic Park, The Blob, Phase IV, The Stuff, Gremlins, Galaxy of Terror, Deadly Eyes, Bug 75,etc. And Vermin fills that Void.

I can only salute the team for doing something unique and entertaining i want to watch. Spiders are ancient horrors. The oldest insects on earth. They inhabited this planet millions of years before dinosaurs even existed. That's make them terrifying. Not some sexy ghost lady.
