For being an individual with the titular phobia, I found this film profoundly dull. You'd think that if Alfred Hitchcock was able to instill blind terror with the mere sight of a flock of disgruntled birds, then Marshall would be able to at least quietly unsettle with the image of a sodality of aesthetically displeasing arthropods invading a living room. But no! Perhaps if a little more time had been devoted to the creation of a more pronounced aura of menace, and a little less to the comedic stylings of John Goodman, then the film might have been a tad bit more effective.
