SPIDER (2002)

DAVID CRONENBERG

Plot

Spider is a man whose mental state has been stretched to the limit and found wanting. Finally released from medical care Spider finds himself in a half way house where his reclusive nature and the grim surroundings find him reverting to his original malaise, haunted by images from his past that he can not yet fathom. Spider is a hypnotic mixture of direction and acting, dripping in visual atmosphere and ominous revelation, Cronenberg spins an intricate web around a complicated psyche. I haven't really explained anything have I? But it's a tricky one to explain...honest.
