My views

Absolutelly horriblly badly made. I LOVE IT!

Plot

A meteor streaks across the night sky as Davey Perkins, a reporter, visits Sheriff Jones for a story, but the Sheriff says things are quiet. Meanwhile, Dan Kester, instead of attending a revival meeting as he told his wife Ev, spends the evening with Helga, a waitress. Davey picks up his girlfriend Terry, Ev’s sister, from the Kester farm, where Ev is drinking. As they leave, Ev continues drinking and later requests a delivery from Dutch, the café owner. Davey and Terry drive to a local junkyard where they engage in a romantic encounter. Dan, after finishing with Helga, listens to the revival on the radio as he drives home. Just as he arrives, a meteor crashes somewhere on the Kester property, triggering strong winds and causing electrical malfunctions.

A B-52 bomber flying on patrol reports a magnetic anomaly before crashing. Sheriff Jones begins receiving calls from locals about electrical disturbances. Dr. Jenny Langer, an astronomer at Montclair Observatory, contacts NASA to report unusual gamma-ray activity linked to the anomaly. At NASA, Dr. Vance receives reports from Northern Wisconsin and, suspecting the downed B-52 and the gamma-ray activity are connected, travels to Wisconsin to investigate. At Montclair Observatory, he meets with Dr. Langer, who briefs him on her findings. The Kesters, meanwhile, discover dead cattle on their farm and come across strange rocks near the meteor site. At the Kester house, Dan cracks open a rock, unknowingly releasing a spider, and believes the crystal inside is a diamond. Ev, heavily intoxicated, swats at spiders that Dan dismisses as hallucinations. Dan later discovers a dead motorcyclist on the property, buries the body, and hides the motorcycle to avoid police attention. That night, Ev is attacked and killed by a giant spider.

The next morning, Dan takes the crystal he found to his cousin Billy, who confirms it is an industrial-grade diamond. After the Sheriff inquires about the missing motorcyclist, Dan returns to the meteor site, where he is killed by a giant spider. Billy, investigating further, is also attacked but crashes his car into a gas station, dying in the explosion. Langer and Vance continue searching for the meteor's impact site, suspecting it to be on the Kester property. The Kester house is destroyed by the giant spider, but Terry survives. Davey rescues her and takes her to the hospital after failing to stop the spider with gunfire. Langer and Vance, attacked by the spider, manage to escape and inform the Sheriff. In response, Dutch organizes a posse, but the spider shifts its attention to a local carnival, prompting Sheriff Jones to call in the National Guard. Langer and Vance, deducing that the spiders likely entered through a mini-black hole, arrange for a neutron device to be dropped at the meteor's impact site. The plan succeeds, and the giant spider is obliterated, dissolving into a pile of goo.

Unable to do so stealthily without harming civilians, he attacks Dining Car directly, mortally wounding him. Before dying, he reveals he was also in the Sierra program as Sierra Four.
