Are you afraid of the ocean? Are you scared of spiders? Or, like the big girl I am, are you afraid of both? If you answered yes to any/all of the these then have I a treat for you.
We have two trailers and a music video for director Joe Chien’s giant spider horror Abyssal Spider about a monstrous ocean-dwelling spider and his babies. Or something.
To be fair, the best thing about the movie (so far) is that poster above which means that other movies won’t need posters in the future as, frankly, nothing will ever top that.
If you’re looking for your spider-jollies, the first trailer has no monster, the second has some and the music video has some more.
Anyway, this has my attention because, as I said above, I’m not great with spiders and the shear-vastness of the ocean, the abyss as it is, terrifies me – just the thought of what could be lurking under there. Eek.
Rescue member Ajie (played by Wang Yangming) and his companions rescued a reef tanker in the storm, but met the captain who was stubborn and unwilling to give up. At the same time, a dark shadow haunted the deep sea and dragged everyone into the sea. The surviving Ajie from then on, bearing the shadow of the death of colleagues, became decadent and disheartened.
Many years later, Ajie overcomes the shadow and boarded the fishing boat again, but he was constantly provoked by crew member Atai (played by Zheng Renshuo), deputy captain Ading (played by Li Liren) and others. One day, everyone rescued Xiaojing (played by Ke Jiaying) who had fallen into the sea due to the overturning of the yacht. Subtle changes occurred on the boat due to Xiaojing’s intrusion. Accidents began to spread frequently on the boat. Some people fell into the sea and died unexpectedly, and food and drinking water were destroyed. Because of the space pressure in the cabin and the lack of air and food, people began to clamor and panic, turning from mutual support to self-suspicion.
When the trapped people face the severe test of the storm, they find that the most dangerous thing is far more than this. There are unknown creatures under the water…The savage people must put aside their prejudices and work together to survive.
No word on when Abyssal Spider will wash up on our shores but we’ll keep you posted.

Marc is a self-confessed nerd. Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he’s been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars. He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
