I have always had a soft spot for those old, giant bug films like Them , and Tarantula. Those schlocky sci-fi/horrors of the 1950s were often unintentionally funny but always entertaining. Big Ass Spider is a throwback to those films but with a Tremors style brand of humor. Greg Gunberg (Heroes) stars as Alex Mathis…
