Venom

aka The Legend of Spider Forest

Poster of Venom

Hairy… venomous… deadly… and they’ll do anything Anna asks.

  • The stylish and atmospheric direction of this film [by Peter Sykes] … makes Venom worth watching as the plot quickly degenerates into a confused hodgepodge of scientific experiments involving spider venom and valuable art pieces being sold on the black market.

    Gary A. Smith, Uneasy Dreams: The Golden Age of British Horror Films, 1956-1976 (McFarland, 2000)

    The storyline is pure hokum, blending the spider nymphet theme with Nazi mad science, but Sykes works hard on atmosphere. … It’s a pretty looking film … but also rather slow until the tumble of melodramatic contrivances in the last reel.

    Kim Newman, Ten Years of Terror: British Horror Films of the 1970s (FAB Press, 2001)
