On April 20, a fan-made short film titled “The Spider” was released on YouTube. It is described by its creators as a horror reinterpretation of the origin story of the famous Marvel Comics superhero Spider-Man.
The film presents an alternative narrative where Peter Parker, after being bitten by a spider, becomes a mutated version of the superhero who lethally attacks anyone he encounters.
Actor Chandler Riggs, renowned for portraying Carl Grimes in The Walking Dead, stars in the lead role. The direction of the short film “Spider” is credited to the up-and-coming filmmaker Andy Chen.
A few years ago, Chandler Riggs was considered for the role of Spider-Man in Sony’s films, but ultimately, Tom Holland was selected for the part.
Please be advised that the film may contain scenes that some viewers might find disturbing.
