If you loved Kingdom of the Spiders, try these.

The Food of the Gods poster 01

Movie / 1976 / Horror / Science Fiction

The Food of the Gods

Why this pick

Like Kingdom of the Spiders, it turns an ordinary rural community into an escalating creature-feature siege, with ecological unease, practical monster chaos, and brisk 1970s drive-in horror energy.

Empire of the Ants poster 02

Movie / 1977 / Horror / Science Fiction

Empire of the Ants

Why this pick

This shares its era, low-budget disaster momentum, and mounting dread of nature becoming hostile, building from an isolated setting toward a pulpy survival nightmare.

Bug poster 03

Movie / 1975 / Science Fiction / Horror

Bug

Why this pick

Another 1970s nature-gone-wrong thriller, Bug pairs scientific curiosity with increasingly dangerous insects and a serious, apocalyptic tone beneath its exploitation-movie premise.

The Swarm poster 04

Movie / 1978 / Horror / Thriller

The Swarm

Why this pick

For the same panic over a real-world menace turned catastrophic, this delivers a larger-scale, straight-faced insect invasion with disaster-film spectacle and steadily widening stakes.

Frogs poster 05

Movie / 1972 / Horror

Frogs

Why this pick

Its humid, isolated estate atmosphere and slow accumulation of animal threats make it a strong match for the ominous environmental-horror mood behind Kingdom of the Spiders.

01 / THE STORY

A little about the film.

Dr. Robert "Rack" Hansen, a veterinarian in rural Verde Valley, Arizona, receives an urgent call from a local farmer, Walter Colby. Colby is upset because his prize calf has become sick for no apparent reason, and the animal is brought in to Hansen's laboratory. Hansen examines the calf, which dies shortly afterward. Hansen tells Colby he cannot explain what made the animal so ill so quickly, but takes samples of the calf's blood to a university lab in Flagstaff, Arizona.
