I came to see something that is silly, insane, a little bit funny with cheapness, and yet still more inventive and entertaining than those god awful CGI made for TV movie monsters we have now. But I donвЂ™t really watch old cheesy movies for that. ItвЂ™s by no means a great work of art or lost gem. The film abruptly ends with the last crabвЂ™s death and like other films of this nature, no epilogue, no explanation on how the remaining people get off the now very barren island, but thatвЂ™s B movies for you. WhatвЂ™s more they find that electricity can kill them (something about the atomic structure again) so they must lure it into a trap, which naturally doesnвЂ™t work as now the plot required stupidity has to hit. So yeah once the crabs are revealed the best bit of the film is gone but the nature of the crabs is still crazy and nuts.

But now itвЂ™s a race against time as one crab they managed to kill by mistake while the other seems to be pregnant. Now admittedly once the crabs are revealed the tension about the voices of the dead is gone which was a surprisingly good and somewhat scary mystery. And yes, this does lead to a scene where a giant crab speaks French through an axe head. Only to find it was giant mutant crabs that can eat brains and absorb them and plan to take over the world! WhatвЂ™s more thanks to their messed up molecular nature they are impervious to bullets (well more like metal just goes right through them but neat they actually explain for once why bullets donвЂ™t work on the monster). And then the voices of the dead calling out to them as their numbers slowly diminish.Д®ventually they are all lured to the caves by the voice of the recently deceased, finding out the voices seem to be transmitted through metal somehow. Odd landslides happening that slowly destroy the island making it smaller. Strange noises in this island where no animal life seems to live. Reading about strange findings by the previous team before what they were writing abruptly stops. What follows is an oddly tense tale for a while. By the time he is picked up his head is removed. On the way there one of their number falls off the boat and we see something move underwater. A group of scientists go to an island where a previous team who had been studying the effects of nearby nuclear tests had vanished from. These are usually just some cheesy looking thing that the man in the suit has to wear, so letвЂ™s look at a particular bonkers idea with Attack of the Crab Monsters.

Roger Corman is a name well known for B movies. So letвЂ™s go back to 50s B monster movies and the fun they entail.

While IвЂ™m still in my house, IвЂ™m openly avoiding looking at films about outbreaks or viruses even as a metaphor, so no zombie moviesвЂ¦ not that IвЂ™d watch them anyway I did that whole sleepless nights thing pointing out I donвЂ™t like those films.
