Lavalantula Plot Synopsis:
With the old days of glamour long forgotten, Colton West, the once-popular movie star and action hero from the 90s, is now reduced to acting in low-budget movies about horrific bugs. But when suddenly, a swarm of earthquakes hits Southern California, a string of unprecedented events, chaos, and lava will give birth to a new breed of lava-breathing arachnids, forcing Colton to find his family before it's too late. Once more, this intrepid man of action will have to do what he knows best, armed only with a shotgun and the will to survive. However, what can a single man do against an endless army of monstrous Lavalantulas?
Mike Mendez continues his crazy spider movie theme with Lavalantula (2015). Mike Mendez recently did Big a** Spider (2013) with past films/work including The Gravedancers (2006), Masters of Horror (2002), and The Convent (2000). This movie is a Syfy TV movie that features lava-breathing tarantulas. The film premiered on Syfy on July 25, 2015, but I have yet to see it, not sure if I ever will. Steve Guttenberg, Nia Peeples, and Patrick Renna star in Lavalantula (2015).
