Horrors of Spider Island (1960)

A German horror film directed by Fritz Bottger.
A talent agent recruits a group of dancing girls and leaves for Singapore on a plane. The plane crashes on a remote island. They find a dead man imprisoned within a giant spider web there and the agent eventually gets bitten by the giant spider, turning him into a monster.
The simplistic plot, monotonous musical score and low production value do not bode well for this film. On the plus side, the camea-work is none too shabby and the girls look great. What really impressed me were the sounds and vocalizations coming from the girls. Even during times of stress and great peril, these vixens moan and pant like they're involved in the erotic arts. Assuming that there was some voice-over work done, I wonder at the methods used to coax these sensual noises into the microphone. I'm rating this poor because it was a crappy movie with a few good scenes of good looking girls.
