Tarantula is a 1955 film, directed by Jack Arnold and television from the original No food for thought of Fresh RM. The Italian version of this film is no more, because at the time, was thrown via distributors, without even an archive copy. The English version has been kept a copy in the store at Universal in Los Angeles, which are taken from existing copies [1] [2]. The first half was tightly spoken in American English, while the second half is made mostly of images and therefore more usable even by those who do not speak the language.
the first time, a man torn from his face falls in the desert near the town of Desert Rock, Arizona. Comes Dr. Matt Hastings called the sheriff to investigate dead body found on the hair, belonging to an assistant of Dr. Gerald Deemer, a mysterious scientist who conducts research at his villa on the edge of the desert. While Hastings and the Sheriff discussed in front of the deformed body, kept in the morgue, Deemer come to recognize the body. Deemer evasive answers to questions of the Sheriff and returns home, where we see him in the midst of animal cages greatly exaggerated. In fact, Deemer has succeeded in creating a special serum and the head on some animals. Among the animals, a tarantula that has just started treatment, has reached the height of one meter. His fellow student, considered late for a rare disease, but currently assistant Deemer, horribly deformed, accuses him of being responsible for this transformation, and stuns the doctor injects the serum with the intention of killing him, then sets fire to the laboratory, changed while the tarantula, escapes into the desert. In an attempt to leave, the assistant falls and could no longer breathe, dies. When Deemer revives, unaware that the injection was carried out, buries the body at night near the house and thinks that the tarantula is dead burned by fire. Meanwhile, comes the beautiful and provocative Stephanie Clayton, to act as assistant to Deemer, Hastings met and the two become friends. Hastings warns to be wary of Dr. Clayton Deemer but not by the right and take service in the isolated house Deemer. Since that time strange events occur, animals and humans are devoured by a mysterious and ferocious creatures. After having investigated yet unsuccessful, Hastings calls for the Clayton passeggiata romantica nel deserto ma sono costretti a fuggire per una improvvisa caduta di massi. Andandosene non si sono resi conto di avere sfiorato la morte, infatti la tarantola gigante stava accucciata proprio vicino ai due. Ritornati in città Hastings si fa promettere dalla donna di avvertirlo se noterà qualcosa di sospetto in casa di Deemer. Nel secondo tempo, la situazione precipita, mentre Hastings è ritornato sul luogo della frana, lo raggiunge lo sceriffo che lo invita ad andare su un pascolo dove un intero branco di cavalli è stato divorato. Durante la notte anche un allevatore vicino è dilaniato. Il giorno dopo, la Cleyton telefona ad Hastings e gli dice che ha visto il volto del dottor Deemer deformato come quello dei suoi due assistenti ed both rush to her aid. Deemer Hastings realizes that he wants to help and tells him his secret, he wanted to invent a serum that by exaggerating the animals, enabling it to increase its stocks of food for mankind. Explain that if his two assistants have become monstrous was only because they stole the serum and if they are injected, thinking of living longer. Deemer worked but I think the tarantula is dead in the fire, but Hastings is convinced that the giant tarantula has escaped and is on patrol in the desert. Hastings leads us to analyze a mysterious white liquid found in the desert and the answer is that this is the characteristic of tarantula venom but the amount of poison is such that could have left only a tarantula as big as a house. In the meantime, the Clayton is treating Dr. Deemer becoming more and more deformed. The tarantula, more and more hungry, she went out into the open, coming to the house of Dr. Deemer. The creature hits the house and eats Dr. Deemer, his face is now distorted by the effects of serum. Stephanie manages to escape the creature with the arrival of Hastings. The two fled in a car, chased by giant tarantula. Meanwhile the sheriff and police officers reach Hastings and Stephanie. The two run off in the company of the sheriff, while some officers tried to restrain the beast, but in vain, being devoured. The tarantula begins to approach the town di Desert Rock. Lo sceriffo tenta di fermare la creatura facendo piazzare delle cariche di dinamite lungo la strada, ma l'esplosivo non ha effetto sul ragno, il quale continua ad avanzare. Fallito l'esplosivo, si cerca aiuto dalla base aerea vicina, la quale fa partire quattro aerei armati di missili e napalm. La gigantesca tarantola è ormai ad un centinaio di metri dalla cittadina quando viene raggiunta dagli aeroplani. La tarantola viene attaccata dai razzi, ma rimane ancora una volta illesa. Diverso è il risultato dopo la pioggia di napalm: la bestia muore bruciata e la cittadina è salva.
