Dating in Miami is hard enough, even if you aren’t a venomous mythical jungle monster who has escaped from a laboratory. But in Spyderwoman, a new movie shot and set in Miami, this is exactly the raw deal faced by Taharai, a half-woman, half-spider (err…spyder?) hybrid from the Amazon.The movie is based on a novel by Teresita “Angela” Terga. Or should we say two novels. Though the novels have yet to be published, there is this description on Terga’s website:<\/p>\n
“There are two versions of Spiderwoman Taharai. One is dystopian in which the tale of Taharai is told in the future when the survivors are building a neo world based on the principles of Shambala. The non-dystopian version only tells the story of Taharai.”All we’ve seen of Spyderwoman so far are the assorted trailers and shorts available on its website. A screening of the film, however, will take place on Friday, June 28 at 8 p.m. in the American Legion Hall (6445 NE 7th Ave., Miami). Admission is free, as is self parking, and there will complimentary refreshments by Leblon, a Brazilian liquor that very well might seduce and kill your sobriety like a spyderwoman.<\/p>\n

While the Spyderwoman does not have eight feet, she does have a sponsorship deal with Shoe Delight — a shoe store in Fort Lauderdale that, no matter what the Internet says, is not closed — provider of Spyderwoman’s delightful shoe fashions:
