Opinions:
“Whereas some ‘monster’ films focus an excessive amount of on stated titular monster, Itsy Bitsy places a small household on the forefront of its story and feels all the higher for it. Sure, we do have a large spider terrorizing their home however at instances this looks like a secondary plot as a single mum and her two children look to recover from a current household tragedy.” Bloody Flicks
“The items for a formulaic but completely high quality little dramatic thriller are all there. “Itsy Bitsy” simply performs them a contact casually with out cautious consideration for a way every beat impacts one other. Extra time baking within the inventive oven might need added fuller taste.” Tradition Crypt
” …the writer-director’s intent on delivering sensible drama together with scares finally proves counterproductive. It’s laborious to take Kara’s drug habit plight significantly, in any case, when there’s the specter of a large spider looming over the proceedings. Whereas it wasn’t essential to go for the wacky laughs of one thing like 2002’s Eight Legged Freaks, somewhat extra humor would have been welcome.” The Hollywood Reporter
“There are some amusingly gooey spider results, which is sensible, contemplating Gallo minimize his enamel doing publish work on movies just like the Hatchet franchise. Nonetheless, it looks like there may be significantly extra household melodrama that the majority style followers may actually do with out. Frankly, the spiders may do their worst to nearly all of the human characters and we wouldn’t care.” J.B. Spins
“As soon as Itsy Bitsy enters the finale, all eight legs lastly get transferring, propelling the movie into an Aliens-esque showdown that left me completely fulfilled. The remainder of the movie could also be too slow-going and heavier on the drama than it ought to be, but it surely’s as if Gallo lastly lets free and unleashes spider hell on the viewer.” Killer Horror Critic
“There’s no must spend money on the heroine’s issues — or their parallels to a killer creature — to be gripped by Itsy Bitsy. The gothic ambiance and the disgustingly gooey particular results are the principle attraction. The existential dread is simply an additional.” Los Angeles Occasions
“The concentrate on Kara is admirable if a bit misguided. Your entire story of Itsy Bitsy is simply an excuse for a closing showdown between the characters and the spider. Within the meantime, we’re simply left questioning which facet Gallo sees as the larger distraction from the opposite.” Mark Opinions Motion pictures
“Itsy Bitsy is enjoyable as a horror film, but it surely’s with its forged the place the film actually shines brightest. As a result of there’s extra concentrate on the film’s household drama than their ordeal with the lethal spider, the casting was very very important for Itsy Bitsy‘s important characters. Thankfully, it delivers.” Film Internet
“Motion pictures that construct up their very own mythology are all the time stronger at their core, but it surely’s uncommon that telling of the legend is so effectively accomplished. Kudos! Whereas there have been some nits that could possibly be picked they have been straightforward to disregard. Itsy Bitsy is a superb creature characteristic grounded by its sensible results and a beautiful forged.” The Scariest Issues
“Taking a extra critical, dramatic method than different current movies within the sub-genre, Itsy Bitsy is a creature characteristic a couple of murderous big spider that cares about its human characters. I discovered it eminently satisfying, and good enjoyable as well.” Display Anarchy
“The drama is effectively sufficient dealt with, and the appearing is strong […] The factor is although, who watches one thing like Itsy Bitsy for heavy drama? It’s actually good to see a movie like this that has a depth to its script reasonably than only a bunch of stereotypes getting killed. However Itsy Bitsy goes a bit too far in that course.” Voices from the Balcony
