The Web Planet is one of those stories I wish I could recommend but fully recognize its flaws basically make it unsalvageable.
I like the story enough and even find the insect aliens charming in their own way. There's clearly a concerted effort to make things look and feel alien that I fully appreciate. However, those sound effects are pretty much going to drive any viewer a little crazy. It's a real shame, too, because I'm always down for sci-fi weirdness and if it weren't for that sound design, I'd be a lot more generous to The Web Planet, even going so far as to call it halfway decent. As it exists though, it really just serves as a curiosity for fans with very limited entertainment value.
