In Chicago, four electricians leaded by Dean (Richard Grieco) come to an old building to disconnect power. They accidentally activate a portal and arrive in another dimension, where Chicago was destroyed by a Spider Queen and inhabited by mutants. The group meets survivors leaded by Crane (David Nerman) and Elena (Kate Greenhouse), and finds the inventor of the portal, Dr. Richard Morelli (Colin Fox), who has been living in this dimension for thirty years. They join forces, trying to rebuilt a portal to bring them back home. "Webs" is a watchable plagiarizing of "Sliders", only worse. Most of the dialogs seem to be written by a person who has not concluded the elementary school, so imbecile they are. Further, the story is illogical, and seems that Chicago is the only city in the world. The scientist trying to start his sophisticated machine with broken wires as if he were stealing a car is very funny. The face of Richard Grieco looks like a white version of Michael Jackson and is horrible. If the viewer shuts-down his or her brain, he or she may like this forgettable TV movie. My vote is four.Title (Brazil): "Na Teia do Terror" ("In the Web of Horror")

OK we have 4 city electricians who find a mini nuke reactor, turn it in and fall into a parallel universe inhabited by a Giant spider queen also from a parallel universe, who managed to slip through with a few of her kin to take over the earth, but alas she is the only one left? If so why did not the rest of humanity join up and hunt her down. Also what happened to the military, no way a few billion plus round of ammo could have been used up and why hide out in a basement when a lot more defensible places had to available. Also not a dig on city workers, but how is it they knew what a mini nuke reactor looked like and how if they did not have one in the parallel universe, could they reopen the rift? Sorry but there was nothing likable about the movie

Webs offered me as a viewer several enjoyable movies, one with an alternate world and a believably bizarre and deadly enemy, another with human protagonists at odds with each other while at the same time confronting a common threat, and still another with the drama of people sacrificing themselves for the common good. There was drama and even some effective acting, although it was obvious that this was a low budget picture, and the actors weren't exactly first rate. Still, for me, these actors were fresh faces, and while not as experienced or polished as bigger names, they really threw themselves into their roles. The spoilers :The special effects I felt were quite acceptable and unexpectedly good, especially the Spider Queen, but even her zombie soldiers and their black blood spraying every which way when they were killed was pretty creepy. The professor and his time machine was routine, expected, and mundane, but he played his role quite well, and didn't let it turn into cartoon. The tense final scene in which the leader and the professor sacrifice themselves in order to allow the last two humans to return to an apparently prehistoric era was satisfying as an ending, and along with the science fiction and human drama, I feel made this movie well above average.

WEBS is a pretty odd movie, albeit slightly watchable. Richard Grieco plays an electrician who gets suck into a parallel Earth overrun by mutant spiders, or something like that. The film itself was made with a modest budget, which explains the limited locales, and the somewhat tedious screenplay that manages to do very little with quite an interesting premise. Basically a 90 minute episode of the TV show "Sliders", and nothing more.4 out of 10(go to www.nixflix.com for a more detailed review and reviews of other films in the genre)
