Verotika is an anthology horror movie based on the Verotik comic series. In the first story, The Albino Spider of Dajette, a prostitute's breast cries a tear (you read that right), which lands on a spider, mutating it into a giant human/arachnid hybrid. (When that's how a movie starts, you know there's no hope.) When the woman goes to sleep, this spider-entity manifests itself and prowls the street to find sex workers to kill.

When the woman realises this, she believes the only way to destroy the monster is to take her own life.

She swallows some pills and calls the police to tell them to come to her apartment. When they barge in, they shoot the spider-creature to death.

The woman's sacrifice is meant to be noble and poignant but it comes across as hilarious and non-sensical. First off, her breasts have eyes. It's never explained why. The spider-monster looks like a six-armed Pennywise.

Also, the seam of the man-spider's crotch is visible so you can clearly tell it's a costume. And finally, when the cops burst in, they shout "Take your hands off her neck" even though he's not touching her!
