Eight Legged Freaks

Eight Legged Freaks is a throwback horror-comedy that emulates the basic structure of a '50s-era creature-feature all in the good name of digital special effects. It's not really a spoof or a satire because it's not making fun of the genre and it doesn't have anything coherent to say about the strange cultural impulses (specifically Cold War rhetoric about the simultaneous fears of communi ... ...

Though DIL here is an acronym for Do It for Life, 'dil' also means heart in Hindi, Punjabi and Urdu.
