\nTo science they are known as \u201csolifugae.\u201d They can grow up to one foot in length. Stories about these seemingly mythic creatures started surfacing when U.S. soldiers encountered them in the first Gulf War. Google\u2122 \u201ccamel spiders\u201d, and for anyone with even a hint of arachnophobia, you\u2019ll find videos and pictures of an eight-legged, true life nightmare. Thank goodness they\u2019re thousands of miles away…or are they?<\/p>\n

From master creature feature maker Roger Corman and director Jim Wynorski comes a spine-chilling tale about the ultimate skin-crawlers: Camel Spiders! Starring Brian Krause (Cyrus: Mind of a Serial Killer, \u201cCharmed,\u201d Sleepwalkers), GiGi Ernata (Risen, Crossed), and C. Thomas Howell, (The Outsiders, The Hitcher, The Amazing Spider-Man), Camel Spiders crawls its way onto DVD and Blu-ray\u2122 March 27, 2012. SRP is $19.98 for the DVD, and $24.99 for the Blu-ray\u2122.<\/p>\n

During a routine desert patrol, an U.S. Military unit headed by Captain Sturges (Krause) is ambushed by insurgents. Just when they seemed to be outgunned, the attack suddenly stops…and their would-be assassins are dragged off by what a native liaison calls \u201cthe devils of the sand.\u201d Wounded in the battle, Sturges earns a ticket back home to the more hospitable deserts of the Southwestern United States.<\/p>\n

Bringing back one of his fallen comrades, Sturges doesn\u2019t realize that a couple of camel spiders stowed away and now have access to an environment where they can breed at an exponential rate, freely hunting for prey and unafraid of any predator – including man. No place is safe, no one is beyond their paralyzing sting. In the end a small band of hearty fighters are forced to make one last stand against the creatures.
