A group of townsfolk are trapped in a remote hotel when a horde of migrating tarantulas overruns the town. A cult classic, and one of the best remembered of the "nature on the rampage" films of the 1970s, in no small part due to William Shatner's starring performance as veterinarian Dr. Rack Hansen.
