Madame Web Reviews Are All Saying The Same Thing

The film Madame Web follows paramedic Cassie Web who, after an accident, discovers that she has psychic powers. This differs some from the comic book character, who was a paralyzed elderly woman that held great clairvoyant powers. The film version of Cassie Web is young, able-bodied, and only beginning to discover how to use her newly found abilities.

Cassie’s mother was a spider researcher who met an untimely end while giving birth to Cassie while on assignment in the Amazon rainforest. As an adult, Cassie discovers that the spiders researched by her mother gave the film’s protagonist, Eziekiel Sims, great powers. As the storyline of Madame Web unfolds, Cassie’s ability to see through to other dimensions leads to her meeting three young women who become targets of Sims.
