Richard Greico leads a team of electrical workers who stumble across a terrifying parallel universe. While investigating a strange power source in an abandoned building, the workers find themselves sucked into an underworld teeming with massive, man-eating, spider-like monsters. The bloodthirsty arachnid-human hybrids stalk and kill their victims one by one, leaving the dwindling group of survivors to fight back with just their wits and a handful of primitive weapons.

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

One person commented Webs, raises the issue of, "If you could do it, should you?" And that might be just a little beyond its creator's true intentions but it does speak to a lot of the negative comments. Is Webs a bad movie? Is it low budget? Are the Actors second rate? You bet and I hope they never stop making movies like this. Webs was made for TV, something important to keep in mind. I'd rather watch Webs over and over again than sit through any Sitcom crap, any unreal reality show or the next big Cop/Doctor/Lawyer Crapfest. Webs wasn't made to take your attention away from big blockbuster movies. Lets compare apples with apples. Is Webs like Sliders? Well, yes in TV land, like Sliders, Webs is a sort of a Sci Fi film and it does involve dimensional travel but I'm smart enough to know I'm not watching a lost episode of sliders. I thought Webs dealt with the idea of despair and made the alternate Chicago seem like a place of lost hope. Sliders took us to some strange places but it always felt like we were just passing through waiting for the top of the hour to go some place else. In looking for faults, Webs has too many cookie cutter characters where you can remember their traits far easier than their names. There's the guy in peril controlled by greed and the doubting suspicious enforcer. There isn't much excuse for flat characters with fewer dimensions than the setting but, like the plot holes pointed out by others, it just comes down to bad writing. Just remember life is full of plot holes. My eight-year-old boy asks questions about our world that would take more time than you, me and Richard Grieco have left in our lives. It all comes down to this. If DVD be damned and all we have is PVRs in our dimension, Webs would earn a spot on my hard drive right beside CSI: Baghdad. God help us.

They unwittingly activate power to a portal that leads to a parallel world where everything looks identical to their world. In the parallel universe mankind is almost extinct. The last remnants are fighting for their survival against a mutant spider race that turns poisoned prey into mutants under their control. The unwitting heroes join up with the last survivors in an attempt to return to their universe before the queen and her soldiers kill them all. In the end only the primary character and a girl from the parallel universe make it back.

I had seen this movie just days before Halloween 2004. I noticed it around lunch-time and it was an interesting description in my menu box so I decided to watch it. Seriously only a movie only suitable for late night TV...you know, after Conan but before the infomercials sorta deal.Although this movie has very little to do with webs, it does have a lot to do with spiders, refer to my heading if you need a refresher.I found the idea behind the story absolutely fascinating. A hidden nuclear generator, a scientist and a believable portal...Would have been a good start to a cool fantasy but then it goes downhill after 15-20 minutes.The cast is poor with no memorable performances, poor quality queen who has had her breasts amplified...considering spiders don't carry breasts. As well as poor sound effects. An obvious low budget movie though the cast has tried.SPOILER:4 electricians stumble upon a hidden nuclear generator while on a job. They fiddle with the buttons and open a portal. 2 workers fall into the portal and it closes...scrambling to figure out what is going on, the party still in our world seeks help while the other party observers their surroundings.Help does not arrive so they open the portal and follow through meeting up in a parallel dimension. They encounter a race of human spiders dubbed soldiers. After a death and chase they are saved by survivors.Now it gets boring...they hide, talk a bit, try to build another portal then attack the hive. After losing 2 more electricians they open the portal and escape returning to our world...some 200 million years ago.Sounds interesting huh?

A Sci-Fi Network original. Not the best. Not far from being the worst. An electrician(Richard Grieco) stumbles onto a "key" that can open a gateway to a parallel Earth that has been taken over by mutant spiders. The mutations have been controlled by a super-sized alien Queen for the past thirty years. She has already eaten up the population of this parallel world that resembles Chicago minus inhabitants. Guess what? Now she must find another world to feed on. The electrician leads a four man team that reluctantly finds themselves with the task of saving the world. The finale confrontation is probably the best part of the whole movie. The cast also features: Richard Yearwood, Colin Fox, Kate Greenhouse, Jason Jones and David Newman. One would have thought that the Sci-Fi Network could have spent more money on special effects.
