Synopsis

A large spider from the jungles of South America is accidentally transported in a crate with a dead body to America where it mates with a local spider. Soon after, the residents of a small California town disappear as the result of spider bites from the deadly spider offspring. It's up to a couple of doctors with the help of an insect exterminator to annihilate these eight legged freaks.

There is a dead cat in the spiderweb about 3/4 of the way through. It's very obviously a fake but still. There is also a dead rat. Neither were killed onscreen.

A brief scene at a party. A drunk woman is protesting being cut off from the alcohol and is clearly self-medicating her grief of losing her son.

A crow is bitten by the spider and dies. A mouse is injected with spider venom and dies. Lots of dead animals (that look super fake) caught in spider webs: mouse, rat, bat, maybe a cat.

An unknown cat dies off screen. It may be a pet we saw earlier, in which case the owner is already dead.

Of course a bunch of spiders die, but in the webs there are a bunch of dead animals, including some rats, a bat, one cat, etc. No living cats that we see die.

Spiders have multiple eyes. The worst part would probably be the spider egg sac that pulsates and could trigger trypophobia.
