Spiderbabe (2003)

Wonderful character development!

Absolutely the worst movie.

it is finally so absorbing because it plays like a lyrical road odyssey that’s also a detective story.

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

There are R-rated and Unrated versions of this film and both are let down by poor writing, directing and editing. The plot follows the Spiderman films so that our heroine, Patricia Porker (Erin Brown/Misty Mundae) is bitten by a radio-active spider and becomes Spiderbabe, with the ability to shoot spider webs from a certain private part of her anatomy. She also becomes proficient at kick-boxing and here lies the problem - she hardly uses her webs to fight the criminals, so what is the point of her being Spiderbabe?Both versions of the film have their plusses and minuses. The R-rated film has a really funny question and answer session between the students and Dr Dowell but this has been cut to almost nothing in the Unrated version. Similarly, an R-rated scene in which Patricia is packing up to leave home has a joke by Aunt Maybe about a friend called Michael Crotch (think about it) but is omitted entirely in the Unrated film so we do not know how Patricia ends up in another apartment. The (mainly lesbian) sex scenes are cut down in the R-rated film but go on for much longer (too long in my opinion) in the Unrated version.The cast do their best with the material. Misty Mundae deserves better than this and is really pretty in a girl-next-door kind of way. She has a great Unrated scene with C J DiMarsico. Julian Wells hams it up as Femtilian. This is a typical sexy comedy Seduction Cinema production and should not be compared to mainstream films but even so, the crew should have remembered what being Spiderbabe was all about.

Spiderbabe (2003) * 1/2 (out of 4) Softcore take-off on Spiderman has Misty Mundae playing Patricia Porker, a social outcast who is bitten by a radioactive spider, which turns her into a crime fighter as well as lesbian lover. These low-budget softcore movies are usually good for a quick laugh and some cheap sex scenes and this here is really no different. Whereas Sam Raimi's films relied on special effects, this one here just needs constant lesbian scenes and the only effect is that our crime fighter can shoot spider webs from between her legs. For the most part this is a pretty silly movie that features some awful direction that really never adds any energy or excitement. I think the biggest problem with the film is that there's simply no good pacing and even though it runs just 88-miutes it feels twice as long. The story itself is a pretty silly one and the dialogue is horrible but you really can't blame the screenplay too much since it's obvious that the most important thing were the sex scenes. The sex scenes happen at least every three or four minutes and for the most part they are lesbians scenes. The only decent thing in the movie are a few of the sexual fantasies that our hero has while she's still playing the outcast. The sex scenes are clearly the best thing here with the standout being the one between Misty and Darian Caine who plays her best friend. SPIDERBABE is certainly going to mainly appeal to fans of Mundae but others might get a few cheap thrills out of its campy nature.

I saw this film one night at my friend's sleepover. I thought it wold be terrible, but it was great. The plot outline follows Spider-Man but the sex is much better than Peter and Mary Jane. There are numerous sex scenes, that go all out and break all the rules. There are probably about ten sex scenes in all, mostly girl on girl. It's pretty tacky, but pretty hot too. I saw this on TCM at 1:00 in the morning. It kept me and my friends up all night. The Lesbian scenes are great as Misty Mundane has hot sexual fantasies from the get go. It's corny and cheesy but who cares. It's a porn movie. It's not out to win an Oscar, just to make people watch it and say " Damn I wish that was me." Watch out for the Queen bee, she'll sting you. 8/10

If you are a fan of spoof films and soft core porn, then this film belongs on your Must-See list. Need I mention that any fan of Misty Mundae will also be pleased to watch this film that has enough of a plot to be entertaining and enough of Misty to be titillating (pun intended). Although this film was not intended to be a blockbuster, I do think it would have benefited with more directorial experience, but at least this guy is aware of Misty's acting style, which I find refreshing in its lack of ham.....sometimes you just want to leer at some body. Spiderman has always been my favorite superhero, but I am not a fan of Sony's recent efforts. In fact, my dissatisfaction with the sequel is what led me to seek out Spiderbabe. I am glad I did, and I have now placed this film on my wish list of DVD's (ok, it's not at the top of the list, but also nowhere near the bottom), and you can bet that I am holding out for the Unrated 2-disc set....I can't wait to see the bloopers and outtakes.
