Director: Kimble Rendall (“Bait 3D,” “Cut”)
Cast: Kelsey Grammer, Kellan Lutz, Bingbing Li, Shane Jacobson
Details: After his ‘sharks in a supermarket’ film “Bait 3D” was a big success, director Kimble Rendall returned to the genre for this massive Chinese-Australian co-production. The most lethal spider in the world, the Australian funnel web spider, becomes the subject for a film blending creature feature with “The Mummy”.
In the film, a team of scientists lose a colleague in an ancient 200 BC-era Chinese labyrinth – one inhabited by a swarm of genetically altered and deadly, man-eating versions of the funnel webs which have grown both in size and intelligence and could wipe out mankind if they got out.
