Spider Woman (2006)
A witch is burned on the stake, but her spirit has possessed a giant spider and is on the rampage. Enraged and thirsty for vengeance, a mob of torch bearing villagers march through an eerie wood in search of an evil child-eating woman. But dealing their own brand of justice, this might just be the worst mistake of their lives, as the one they seek possesses a darker power then they would have ever imagined. Spider woman spins the nightmarish tale of an unsuspecting group of people encountering a mystical world of buried secrets, human possession and gigantic spiders. Evil never takes kindly to those who oppose it...and in this case, its counterattack pounces with eight-legged agility.

In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
SPIDER WOMAN is a low budget Thai horror film based on local legends. It's a derivative piece of work, with lots of villagers wandering around and interacting and very little horror content, aside from an old witch spouting curses. There is some atmosphere built up along the way, but the scares are subdued and the attempts at horror are distinctly half-hearted. This is a far cry from the kind of full-blooded horror that South East Asia used to make in the 1970s and '80s.
