Customer Reviews of The Outer Limits: Children of Spider County
BEM In A Business Suit The famous Bug-Eyed Monster in a business suit episode has one of the best beginnings of any story in the series, but after the first act it all starts going south, fast. The OL production team was spread pretty thin at the time this one was made, and it shows.
The story is terrific, but it's never properly realized. A number of people all born in obscure, rural Spider County in a given time period are all suddenly disappearing - and the Space Agency wants to know why, since not only are the vanished men among their best scientists, but UFOs are associated with the vanishing acts. One of their agents attaches himself to the remaining young man fitting the profile of the missing, in order to smoke-out whoever - or whatever - is responsible.
Damn! Sounds good, doesn't it? Too bad it isn't.
The suspense is shot from the start, the dialogue is trite and often unintentionally comical, there's way too much padding and repeat use of stock footage (mostly of the BEM in a business suit stomping about the woods, who gets far too much air time for such a flimsy, if eye-grabbing, mask)...it just doesn't hold together, at all.
This one is screaming for a remake in the new OL series.
Lovecraft comes to TV
One of the better episodes, really has a feel of a 50s sci-fi horror flick rather than a sanitized TV show episode.
Starts out good, then fades.
This starts out fine, has a pretty neat-looking monster (which, unfortunatly, you see way too much of), and an interesting premise. There is some nice dialogue between Abel and the son he's come to take back with him, but as the show goes on it starts to go downhill. There are way too many silly chase scenes, and the town in which the story takes place has almost no other people in it except the characters. The ending was a bit of a letdown too.
