15 Hilariously Awful SyFy Original Movies

7. Ice Spiders

With a title like Ice Spiders, you'd expect this movie to be about spiders actually made of ice, right? But no, they're just regular mutated spiders who happen to be an icy location. What a ripoff.  

The movie takes place at a ski resort where a scientist is working to create a new breed of spider for some reason. They get out and start attacking everyone, including all the ski resort guests. There's a pretty amazing scene where one of the spiders crawls down through a chimney and eats a guy alive, but then the hero grabs a mounted deer and stabs the spider to death with its antlers. 

That's literally not something you can see in any other movie.

Once again there's a character who doesn't want to kill the creatures but who has to come to terms with that as things get worse and worse. The spiders themselves are inevitably awful, and at no point does it look remotely like there are any actual spiders anywhere near the characters. 

It's kind of a fun time though, and the ski resort location at least gives the movie a look somewhat distinct from so many of the other SyFy movies.
