Viewer Reviews
Okay my first review so be kind. I saw this video a while back and unless this VHS is different from what I saw this should be on the mark.I'm being a little generous with the 3, but only because I don't think it deserves as low as a 2. Basic gist: murderous irradiated crabs with a penchant for human flesh cause mayhem in a sleepy Island Fishing Community. What is it about human flesh that every psycho, mutant, creature, alien, undead horror and other worldly monstrosity can't get enough of it?!
The the movie isn't great but it's not horrible. It's main flaw is the pace. The viewer already knows what's going on quite early in the movie so regretfully the slow pace doesn't build suspense and tension...rather it just makes the viewer wish the town's folk would get a clue and figure it out so the real action can start!
It's still not a bad movie and in truth I saw none of the infamous 'too stupid to be allowed to live' trait in any of the townsfolk, the only reason they take so long is because there are so many other possibilities for the happenings that sound a heck of alot more resonable than killer crabs.
No glitzy special effects, the acting isn't bad, the story's not bad. An average movie for mose. If you're a fan of those killer crab series of books 'Night of the Crab' etc. This movie might well rank a 4 for you.
