#ATTACK OF THE GIANT CRAB MONSTERS FULL MOVIE MOVIE#

What's more these eyes look dreadful! big pupils, big eyelids and they almost look like they have eyelashes, they make the creature look like a giant child's toy. This has happened in other giant bug movies before, giving the creature humanoid eyes which in turn gives the creature a face, emotions, something you don't wanna see on a large killing machine. The other problem being they have two large humanoid eyes, why would you do this? it looks ridiculous. The problem being they obviously don't move too well, they tend to just sit in one place and move the odd limb around in jerky motions. Yes they do have some decent scale to them, they are large mechanical puppets that do look like crabs and the actors are able to interact with them. The giant crabs in question also look pretty terrible it must be said. It was clearly shot on the coast in America somewhere and inside a small hut for the most part, probably a basic set was used. What gives this notion away? well for a start there is nothing to look at, no fancy sets, no lovely locations, no swish props or costumes etc.nothing.

Now its clear to see this movie was made on a small budget, the fact its a Corman movie means you can bet your bottom Dollar it was probably made for a pittance. So not only is this a giant creature feature, its also a weird kind of spiritual ghost story of sorts, well that's the way it comes across at times. When this happens the telepathic messages from the crabs are in the voices of the dead victims that have been eaten. The interesting and bizarre twist comes in the fact that these crabs absorb the minds of their victims and are able to telepathically communicate with other living humans. Naturally some giant mutated crabs ate the last team (shocking), and are a result of the bomb testing (you don't say).

At the same time they are also following on with the research into the effect of radiation in the area after nuclear bomb testing (of course). OK.first off the basic premise is what you would expect, a team of scientists are sent to a remote Pacific island to look for the last team that went missing. Plot wise its a bit different than the usual fair, not as straight forward as you might expect. In all honesty I was a bit surprised as I didn't realise Corman went back this far into the 50's giant bug phenomenon. Maybe not so surprising seeing as this Hollywood legend has seemingly been around forever, making movies in all genres and having worked with everyone.

You notice every one of these giant creature B-movies has an almost identical poster layout.īelieve it or not this movie is actually a Roger Corman offering. Attack of the crab monsters huh, just when you thought they had used every known bug and fishy-type thing possible, they throw this at you, what's next.lobsters, ahem! Yes its yet another 1957 flick, the year of the giant creature feature, and yet again the movies poster is completely bullshit, at no point does a female get grabbed by a giant crab like that. Yes you read it correctly, we are really plumbing the B-movie depths here with this little beauty.
