MOVIE ATTACK OF THE GIANT CRAB MONSTERS HOW TO
That's how old I was when CRAB MONSTERS was released! When did I become a B Movie junkie? Probably from age 7 or 8, who knows, maybe even 6!?!?!? When the conversation turns to those schlocky B movies of the 50's and 60's, this Roger Corman classic is one of the first that comes to mind! Corman is King! He really knows how to pack a lot of action into 62 minutes! Yes, this 1957 Classic is barely over one hour in length! With this in mind, no doubt, CRAB MONSTERS gives us on screen fun within its first couple minutes What is there to analyze about a classic Corman film?

The visual effects, the destruction of the island and the crabs themselves are a cut above the typical 1950's horror/sci-fi monster, there is something ominous about them, even if they don't movie all that well.

How can anyone who reads the title or the plot, about a research team on a lonely island being stalked by giant crabs that eat the brains of their victims and then can then talk like them, and expect it to be anything other than it is? If you're interested by interested the plot, then odds are you're going to like it. At five this movie scared the crap out of me, now its just cheaply done fun.
I loved this movie from the moment I saw it on New York's Creature Features way back in the late 1960's as a five year old. Where this movie is concerned I have no shame.

No, seriously.Įditorial review of Attack of the Crab Monsters courtesy of When they eat humans, they absorb the knowledge, intellect, and even personality of their victims. Presumably mutated by atomic tests, they’re virtually indestructible. Yes, there are in fact giant crabs on the island. David Arvedon (voice) as Hoolar the Giant Crab.He falls into a pit, and is killed there. Only for the others to keep hearing his ghostly voice… A sweet older man, with a thick accent, who first loses his hand in a cave-in, and later his life. Mel Welles ( The Little Shop of Horrors) as Jules Deveroux, biologist.Fixing the ruined radio, and devising the way to destroy the final crab monster, among others. Although he has less college education that the other members of the party, he clearly has the practical knowledge.

She also hears the voice of MacLane, the leader of the previous expedition, in the night … A lovely young scientist (of course), who helps look for the missing expedition, and scuba dives looking at the local wildlife under water.
