I have no doubt that this production is a fine piece of cinematic art. The actors played the parts convincingly. The overall mood of the movie (bleak, bleak, bleak) and pacing (interminable) are undoubtly exactly what director David Cronenberg wanted to achieve. But (and you knew there was a 'but' coming), this description from the video jacket ...
«a tense phsychological thriller with twists and turns that will keep you guessing right up until the last moment»
... could not be further off the mark. If that quote describes what you're looking for then Spider is not the movie for you.
