a5c7b9f00b 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&#39;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 Lavalantula&#39;s? Volcanic eruptions in Los Angeles unleash a swarm of gigantic, lava-breathing tarantulas. This movie is so bad, it could actually make the Sharknado movies look good, which would have previously seemed an impossible task. The SyFy movies can often be entertaining, but generally have very poor acting . This one has the poor acting, but is not even entertaining. Nia Peeples has probably set a new low for acting in these SYFY movies, and , again, that is saying a lot.It is actually sad to see an actress (Peeples)whose only contribution is running around in a revealing outfit that was made for a 20 year old (she is mid-fifties), and even her abundance of surgically enhanced cleavage is pretty uninteresting.Steve Guttenberg does the best with what he&#39;s been given for a script, but it is not enough to make this a movie worth viewing. As my summary said, bad,bad, bad. I admit that I am not a typical SYFY channel watcher, nor much of a horror movie buff. I tuned in to see my young friend, Diana Hopper (Jordan) on screen. I was not sure what to expect.<br/><br/>What I got was a lot of fun, with good acting, and subtle and not so subtle references to other movies. The monsters were not really scary and there was no doubt that Guttenberg was going to save the day. I thoroughly enjoyed Lavalantula.<br/><br/>It was great to see Michael Winslow once again, doing what he does best and making us laugh, in spite of the danger. The man could read the phone book and I would probably crack up. <br/><br/>Nia Peeples has grown older, but she looked fabulous. She has come a long way since her &quot;Fame&quot; days. <br/><br/>Lavalantula was more entertaining than most of the big screen movies that I have seen lately.
