I've read quite a few of the other reviews for this movie and find their criticism rather harsh. If you are fan of Creature-feature flicks (and I would think that to be reading reviews of this movie, you must at least have had some initial interest) you would not be at all disappointed with this offering.
The CGI is in my opinion very well rendered (it's not Mimic, but then we're talking very different budgets), the plot is as you would expect for this type of movie (you MUST begin with low-expectations in a creature feature B-movie - that's a given!!), plus there's enough blood 'n' guts to keep the gore-hounds among us happy.
The prehistoric scorpions look great and move well and the mutated dragon-fly/scorpion-crossbreed queen is as delicious as she is vicious!! For it's type, where I would give Eight-Legged Freaks a 9 out of 10 (one point deducted for the stupid noises the spiders made) and Mimic a 10, I'd give this movie an 8 as it truly deserves it.
