Lavalantula Page #5

Synopsis: Colton West, a once popular movie star and action hero from the 90s, is now reduced to acting in low-budget movies about horrific bugs. The old days of glamour and stardom, seem to be long forgotten and now Colton, the star of "Red Rocket", is having problems with the law, facing assault charges. On his way home after filming some scenes for his last action movie, Colton gets stuck in traffic and all of a sudden, a swarm of earthquakes hits Southern California, shaking the L.A. basin. To make matters worse, a volcanic eruption of the Santa Monica Mountains will lead to events of unprecedented scale, as chaos, panic and lava emerging from big gas-smelling gapes, begin to appear everywhere in town. On top of that, a new breed of lava-breathing arachnids are forcing a mandatory emergency evacuation of the city, so the need for Colton to go downtown and find his family is greater than ever. Armed with a shotgun and the will to survive, once more this intrepid man of action will have to do

Uh-huh.

Okay. Let me see.

Let me see.

Okay, come on.

Oh, God. Ohh!

Oh, my God.

Shut up. Shut up.

Shut up. Hey, shut up.

Shut up. It's fine.

It's not that bad.

Are you freaking

kidding me?

She's too young

to die, bro.

Shut up.

Calm down. Calm down.

We can't panic

right now, okay? Calm down.

You can't freak out

on me right now, okay?

Come on.

I gotta get to the roof.

Man,

you can't leave us.

Just stay

with her, man.

We gotta try.

Whoa!

Come on! We gotta go!

Back! Back! Back!

Come on.

Come on!

Go!

Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go!

What the hell is that?

What the hell?!

Lava! Lava!

Why are we stopping?

Something's wrong.

This is gonna get bad

really, really fast.

Let's get out of here.

We're not going anywhere.

Ah, man,

these were brand-new.

Uh, fellas, look!

That's not good.

Holy--

Oh, that's bad.

I had a feeling

this was gonna happen.

Oh, hey, Colton,

any ideas?

What do we do?

What do we do?

Man, I hate being right.

Get in the museum!

Why the museum?

Because that's

the only building

without spiders on it!

Not yet, but they look

pretty determined.

Barricade the doors!

Close them up!

Close them up!

Come on!

Throw everything you can!

Come on! Hurry up!

Anything!

Just grab anything!

Jam it up.

I got one more.

I got one more.

You feel safe?

Not even

a little bit.

No.

You got a plan?

Uh, run.

Run! Run!

Run!

Gotta get

out of here.

We're not

getting out of here.

There's spiders outside.

We gotta find

somewhere to hide.

There's nowhere to hide.

When those things want

to find you, they will.

Who are you?

I am Dr. Erik

Von Struebel.

I work here

in the museum.

What are you

still doing here?

I'm a scientist.

For good or bad,

these are

the kind of moments

that we live for.

Well, you're not gonna

live for much longer

if you stick around

here, Doc.

Yes. I am acutely aware

of that possibility,

but I'm not done.

Done?

Done with what?

The heat grid is like

an interconnected network,

lava tubes probably,

with the temperature

increasing exponentially.

So why didn't

anybody say anything

about this before?

We didn't see it coming.

It happened too quickly.

I mean, we're talking

five days ago,

and it's like,

"Oh, that's odd."

Then under a week later,

the hills are active volcanoes.

What should have taken

over a million years

almost happened

overnight.

So if this is correct,

this explains

why these things

are exploding

all over the city.

This city

is a ticking time bomb.

Wait. What does this

have to do with spiders

attacking the city?

Actually, everything.

When I compared the pattern

of the lava tube network,

it had a very close structure

to that of an insect colony.

So wait. They had

something in common?

They're exactly

the same.

The volcanoes

and the spiders are one.

The Mayans

had a term for it,

lavalantula.

And right here...

this would be

the queen's chamber.

If you kill the Mamalantula,

you kill them all.

Whoa.

We better go check

on that front door.

What are you doing?

Science class

is over, Doc.

I'm gonna go get my kid,

and when we're done,

you and I, Jack, we're

gonna have that beer.

You're buying.

Oh, that is so badass.

Wait. No, no, no.

I--I meant you're badass,

not I'm badass.

Guys?

Colt?

Come in, Evac 670.

What's your 20?

This is Evac 670.

We are westbound

on Forest Lawn.

670, turn around

immediately.

The Forest Lawn area

is highly unstable

right now.

Do you have

an alternate route?

Negative, just get

off that road.

What's happening?

Want you to stay here.

Whoa, whoa, whoa,

whoa. You can't

just leave us here.

All right.

I want you to get down,

and I want you

to stay down.

- This should keep you safe.

- On your six!

I'm not good at staying down.

If you want

to live, you get that ass

under that fire blanket.

Really need to curse.

Get down!

This place is like

a freaking maze.

I think there's

a stairwell right there.

Oh, you think?

These things

don't give up.

Shh, shh, shh, shh.

Keep your voice down.

Come on. Come on.

Okay, come on.

Come on.

Let's go. Let's go.

Let's go. Let's go.

God.

I think it's gone.

Run! Go! Go!

You got her?

You got her?

Come on! Here it comes!

What the hell

are you doing?

I got this!

I got it!

How'd you know

that was gonna work?

I didn't!

Go!

There's too many

of them, man!

We gotta get

these civilians

out of here.

They breathe fire, man.

Yeah,

I can see that.

Now they're

closing in.

We are not

going down

like this.

Do you have a shot?

Yeah.

Run!

We gotta move now, man.

Yeah, and do what?

We gonna head back

to the city?

Well, we can't go

this way, man.

Yeah, but we need

reinforcements.

Man, we are

the reinforcements!

Clever girl.

Oh, no.

Oh! Eww, eww, eww.

Oh, my God.

Key.

Oh.

Evac 670,

can you read me?

Hello?

Did you copy

the last transmission?

Get off Forest Lawn.

All your men are gone.

Everyone is dead.

Do you hear me?

Who is this?

My name is Olivia West.

I'm the sole survivor.

Well, please be advised

to get out of

Los Angeles immediately.

Yeah. Well, thanks

for the great advice,

but I can't

really do that.

My family is

still here in L.A.

Repeat. Los Angeles

is highly unstable

right now.

Why don't you give me

some good information,

like where's

the fricking key?

There is no key, ma'am.

Flip two switches marked

"battery" and "run."

You're advised

to get out as soon

as possible.

Not without my family.

Come on.

You still with us?

How you doing?

How you doing, Jordan?

Jordan!

Jordan!

Jordan!

Jordan.

Whoa, whoa.

She's freaking out, man.

Jordan, come on.

Come on.

Jordan, look at me.

Look at me.

Water, water.

Get some water.

From where?

I don't know, man.

Jordan, look at me.

No, come on.

Jordan! Jordan!

Jordan! Jordan!

Come on.

Stay with us.

Come on.

Jordan.

What the--

Is she dead?

I don't know.

Jordan! Jordan!

Ho. Dude.

Jordan.

What's happening?!

No! No!

What's happening?!

Oh, my God!

Make it stop!

Oh, my God!

What the...

No! No!

Get 'em off me, man!

No! Ahh!

No! No! Ahh!

Come on. Come on.

Right.

Where are you?

My phone.

My phone's working.

It's from Wyatt.

Heh.

He's trapped.

He's at Hanson Studios.

It's at Seventh and Olympic.

We gotta get there.

Hey, guys.

That is

a very large arachnid.

The freaking kraken.

And it's coming

this way.

Get back!

Lavalantula!

Ah, no!

Ah! Ah, look!

Oh!

They're in here!

They're all in here!

Ah! Oh, no!

Let's go this way.

Oh, no!

C-Come on.

Yes.

Too many of 'em!

We gotta get

out of here!

Jack, watch it!

Watch out!

Watch out! No!

Jack!

Want some of this?

You got this.

Come on!

Let's get

out of here.

Get out of here!

Though that door.

Could there

be a prehistoric link

to these spiders?

That's what's trending

on social media

after scientific reports

date these arachnids

back to the Jurassic era.

Meanwhile, mid-Wilshire

is the latest hot spot,

where the famed
