Movie is called 'Spider' and Nash Edgerton is definitley a name to watch.

Great stuff, but seriously OUCH!!!

Probably one of the best movies I've seen in a while is from 1998. It's called Following, it's a very low budget movie but it's just over an hour long and very well done.

Precisely - 'Following' was Chris Nolan's first movie.... and just look where he went from there!

Right after she was hit my power went out.

Nice little short. That idea with the spider in the sun visor i first saw when i was a kid and my Mum and Dad would let me watch Tales Of The Unexpected.

Gotta love that theme tune.

In that Tales Of....a fake spider was planted in a sun visor causing the driver to veer off the road and DIE.

I keep waiting for them to rehash Tales Of The Unexpected. They've remade and ruined a lot of other things.

My fave Tale Of The Unexpected involved a woman (I think it may have been Susan George) who murdered her husband by bludgeoning him to death with a frozen leg of lamb.....

She then fed the lamb to the investigating police officers thereby destroying any evidence.

Can't remember if that was the twist or not (I was very young at the time!) but that episode stuck in my mind for some reason... (maybe it was Susan George that did it!)

And the 'Royal Jelly' episode too........ That really freaked me out!

Blimey, I remember that episode! It was Susan George and that was indeed the 'twist in the tale'. Amazing how something like that can stay lodged in your head for what... 25 years???

Just did a bit of digging on that episode: Title was 'Lamb To The Slaughter' and it was the fourth episode from the first series - in April 1979. I'd have been seven years old.

But, still, I know Susan George was pretty much the perfect woman, even then. I'm fairly sure that's why it's stuck with me!!!

I used to love that show - I've got a few reissued DVDs but they've not aged terribly well. A bit like 'Hammer House Of Horror' 0- anyone remember "The House That Bled To Death?" with Nicholas Ball???

My friend recently purchased the whole Hammer Hous Of Horror collection on DVD. I'd never seen any before so she showed me The House That Bled To Death. Entertaining!!
