What, that's it??? That's how it ends??? Just when it was getting good!!! Well I know enough what to expect with a title like "Attack of the Crab Monsters", so this was right about par for the course. What I wasn't prepared for was that nonsense about the crabs absorbing the brain matter of their victims and gaining the ability to 'speak' to the rest of the humans on the island. Not only that, but the island itself was disintegrating and falling into the sea. Were the crabs doing that? I don't know. It doesn't matter.
Roger Corman produced and directed some great schlock in his time, and this is right up there. It's certainly a lot better than his 1958 film "She Gods of Shark Reef" which occupies a place on my Worst Ten Movies List of all time. But when I say a lot better, it's all a matter of degree. Let's face it, you either dig this kind of stuff or you don't, and personally, I can watch anything once.
But seriously, didn't this picture make you hungry? All I kept thinking about was getting a great big pot and steaming up some nice fresh crab legs. Maybe whip up some seafood salad and a side of crab cakes. Add a little bisque for an appetizer. Aw heck, everything about crabs is an appetizer.
