Are there any spiders in The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey? - Amazed formal male looking at laptop screen

I suffer from a severe level of arachnophobia. in the description of the movie it says:

Their journey will take them into the Wild; through treacherous lands swarming with Goblins and Orcs, deadly Wargs and Giant Spiders, Shapeshifters and Sorcerers.

I asked a friend of mine who watched the movie and he couldn't remember seeing any spider. so I wonder if anyone can confirm or deny that there are no visible spiders in this movie.



Best Answer

From inside Radagast's house you see shadows of spider attack, you see the legs of a spider break into the house before Radagast's magic seems to scare them off.

He emerges from the house and you clearly see giant spiders running away from the house.

So, contrary to the previous answers, I would say "yes" but it is brief and you don't see them fully.

Answer 2

The first part of The Hobbit trilogy, An Unexpected Journey, does not involve the Giant Spiders. Going by the book, the second part, The Desolation of Smaug, very likely will.

Answer 3

As far as I remember, no you don't actually see the spiders, they're just alluded to via shadows and such.
