Leave your thoughts about Attack of the Crab Monsters.
| Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN)John BeifussA truly weird, even surreal film that offers more evidence that dehumanization -- whether by mutation, takeover, identity transference, transformation or insanity -- is Corman's great theme... |
| Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)Ken HankeBear in mind we're talking about giant mutant telepathic crabs bent on world domination. |
| Suite101.comRob HumanickSmarter than you'd be right in expecting a movie called Attack of the Crab Monsters to be, and this is in part because the crabs themselves are that much smarter, too. |
| Parallax ViewSean Axmaker... a bizarre entry in the post-atomic giant creature features with a twist of ghost story. |
| Antagony & EcstasyTim BraytonSome delightfully campy idiocy typical of the genre, with that extra spin of dazzling showmanship that separated Corman from all of his peers. |
| User ReviewDan Mhands down, this is the best so-bad-its-good movie i've ever seen |
| User ReviewDan KOne giant mutant crab speaks with a French accent. Swear to God. |
| User ReviewColleen PPerhaps one of the greatest contributions to cinematic history involving men becoming giant land crabs. The screenplay and special effects are second to none, and the sound effects must be experienced to be appreciated. WATCH THIS FILM if you have nothing better to do for an hour, and need to laugh at something amazingly mind-bogglingly amazing. |
| User ReviewSimon LFew endings in cinema are as apocalyptic as the crumbling of all solid ground beneath your feet, as a psychic brain-eating crab closes in on you. |
| User ReviewParty Pete. CThis is the kind of thing that satisfied the science-fiction urges back on the 50's. First, this is a movie by Roger Corman. There aren't going to be any good special effects, the acting and dialogue are going to be dribbling cheeseiness and you will no doubt see the hand of a stagehand moving the monster around. It any of this puts you off then don't watch it. It you can appreciate crap for what it is and not make further judgements until you've seen it, this may be a cult classic you forgot all about. |
