Camel Spiders is a 2011 made-for-television horror sci-fi film starring Brian Krause, C. Thomas Howell, and Jessica Cameron. It was directed by genre veteran Jim Wynorski and executive-produced by Roger Corman.

Plot

Creatures that for years have been rumoured to torment armed forces in the Middle East are inadvertently introduced to the southwestern deserts of the United States. The camel spiders now freely hunt for prey, unafraid of any predator—including man. No place is safe; no one is beyond their paralyzing bite. In the end, a number of hardy fighters band together to make one last stand against the creatures.

Brett Gallman from horror film review website Oh, the Horror! gave the film a mostly negative review. In his review, Gallman criticized the film s direction, and screenplay; stating that the film starts with the potential to be among the best of these new-wave Corman creature features, but ends up just being in the middle of the pack . Jason Coffman from Film Monthly.com gave the film a positive review, writing, It’s not a game-changing masterpiece or anything, but Camel Spiders is proof that Corman’s approach to low-budget filmmaking is still capable of turning out fun stuff.
