Plot: After a big battle on Kunlun Mountain, the Long sect comes out victorious and puts measures in place to protect the city down below. Not everyone from the Yi sect is defeated though, and several members infiltrate the ranks of the Long. A decade later, a poisonous spider attack sets their plan in motion.

Not the best Chinese streamer flick out there. They've been gradually upping their game, but that doesn't mean that every new film is better than the last. Soul Eating Spider feels like a step back, sporting horrific CG and some very basic comedy that detracts rather than adds.
The costumes and cinematography are pretty damn great, but they are ruined by terrible CG. The spider in particular is cheaply made and looks like a plastic toy rather than a menacing enemy. The silly prosthetics and the lame comedy don't really help either. The film is short and well-paced, so there's that, but I expect more these days.
