Caught in the web of… inbred teenage girls!
Seeing Spider Baby on the big screen is a quite unique experience, since there aren’t that much 35-mm copies in good condition left of this movie. For the Offscreen Festival screening last year (2008), Jack Hill provided a print out of his private collection, for which we thank him heartily. Spider Baby is a black & white sixties treasure filled with demented humor and grotesque terror, dealing with rather bizarre family values.

Czech title: Valerie a týden divu
Bleed little girl, bleed.
Thirteen year old Valerie (Jaroslava Schallerová) – who looks like a young Britt Ekland – lives with her grandmother (Helena Anýzová) in a large house. One day, missionary / actor-player / complete weirdo Tchor-konstábl (Jirí Prýmek) appears in the town with Orlík (Petr Kopriva) – who may have already been there – and quickly becomes interested in grandmother and Valerie. There’s much more to it than that as the film unfolds like a fever dream story of incest, lesbianism, sexual-awaking, molestation, sexuality, marriage as well as vampires, weasels and religion….
