In some ways, this _Itsy Bitsy_ reminds of _The Babadook_ where a single mother deals with stress while moving into a new home with her child(ren). Add _Dark Water_, _The Ring_, and _Lights Out_ to that too, I guess. I like the added "legend" behind the spider. The son reminds me of one of my cousin's sons; good intentions and has to take care of his little sister who happens to be afraid of spiders. This is something I would tell friends (who are afraid of spiders) about, haha. The creature may not be as big as the ones in _Eight Legged Freaks_ nor normal-sized like in _Arachnophobia_, but large enough to be "unusual size"; what I would call, A.O.U.S. (arachnids of unusual size). Bruce Davison looks so different now, I couldn't even recognize him until credits rolled. The one familiar face I did recognize was the actor who plays the kid who works in the arcade in _Stranger Things_ and that Skittles commercial. It's a decent indie spooker with neat practical effects for the creature and some body horror. Though it sort of suffers a bit with its much focus on the human drama aspect than the horror itself. There's potential but I hope a sequel would be better if they ever make one.
