SYNOPSIS: 

Perhaps the most unfortunate lack of hyphen in motion picture title history, but I digress...

When a hospital has an apparent spider infestation, plucky but poor exterminator Alex Mathis (Greg Grunberg OF STAR WARS) offers his services in exchange for the price of his bill. Anticipating the fame of bagging what they belive is a rare species of spider, Alex and a friendly Hispanic hospital security guard named Jose contend with government interference and an ever-mounting body count. When the spider grows to the size of a minivan, then to the size of a building, they learn that the big-ass spider is truly a government experiment with alien DNA, gone horrifically wrong. Now it's up to Alex and Jose and Alex's thirst for notoriety, fortune, pest control, and the desire to get into the hot government agent's pants to save the day!

Acting Appropriately Stupid
No, Calmer Than That
A brown recluse is nothing to fool with. Alex’s “favorite client” (the smitten spinster who has him on speed-dial and pays him in fruitcake) tries to “help” him.
