Fun Bert I Gordon movie about some teenagers who discover a giant spider living in a cave. Unusually for an AIP teen film the hero is actually a teacher - their local science teacher. However there is still plenty of teen action (the heroine is looking for her father, who has become spider food) and scenes with adults (esp the sheriff) not believing those crazy kids.
The effects aren't as good as Tarantula but they pass and it gives good value - the spider in a cave, attacking teens at a dance, scenes of adults blowing it up with explosives and DDT. There's also some cute in jokes with characters talking about going to see Attack of the Puppet People.
