10 Criminally Underrated Monster Movies
4. Arachnophobia
What sort of a list of underrated films would this be if it didn't take a chance to highlight the only film in cinema history wherein John Goodman, as deadpan exterminator Delbert, utters the phrase "Holy smokes they got the professor"?
The "they" in question are the antagonists of 1990's underrated Frank Marshall flick Arachnophobia, deadly spiders cross-bred from an Amazonian import and the local house spiders of a small US everytown.
This Jeff Daniels vehicle sees the star play a beleaguered new doctor attempted to uncover the cause of many mysterious deaths in his new hometown, and the charming, spooky film deserves more love for its funny cast and clever writing.
