Starring Stephanie Niznik, Greg Cromer, Daniel Quinn and Richard Moll. Directed by Sam Firstenberg.
This is the story of a husband and wife (played by Greg Cromer and Stephanie Niznik) who are shipwrecked and rescued by another ship. Once aboard, the ship's doctor gives the husband some drugs because he isn't feeling well, and as far as his wife knows, he seems to start suffering from hallucinations. The ship's captain (played by Daniel Quinn) is very nice to the couple, but there just seems to be something a bit spooky about the whole thing. As the film goes on, everyone watching will figure out that the Captain has the hots for Niznik's character (everyone except her), and the crazy stories the husband is telling turn out to be true. Yup, there are giant spiders on board!
