“You can talk to me. What did we say about responsibility, Peter?” This ain’t your Aunt May’s Spider-Man. Now available to watch online is a 10-minue short film called The Spider, described as a “horror take on Spider-Man.” Joining the other two spider horror films this year – Sting and Infested. Written and directed by Andy Chen, an up-and-coming young filmmaker who goes under the name “Locust Garden” on social media, the short film features a legit cast. Chandler Riggs (seen in “The Walking Dead” & “A Million Little Things”) stars as Peter, with Holgie Forrester, Carl Addicott, Matthew Tyler Vorce, Ben Thomas, and Caylee Cowan. It is an entirely fan-made, non-profit film inspired by Spider-Man. It gets really dark at the end, going down a path similar to Cronenberg’s The Fly, which is exactly what I was hoping to see in this short. Super disgusting! Sony would never do anything like this with the real Spidey character, which is why it’s rad to see a fan make something freaky & fun involving NYC’s friendly neighborhood weirdo.
