Get ready for shellshock! It's the ZOMBEAVERS meets GODZILLA hybrid you always craved in the creature feature comedy horror of the year. Mutated by nuclear runoff, a horde of murderous horseshoe crabs descend on a sleepy California town causing Prom Night terror. As the deadly crustaceans claw their way through the disbelieving population, it's up to a ramshackle band of students and local law enforcement to address the increasingly ginormous crab menace in a love letter to such practical effects horrors as GREMLINS and nostalgic Roger Corman classics.

If you're up for some jolly fun, with gore and groans and gummy-looking monsters, there is no denying Crabs! does provide all that. And at 80 minutes the film does not outstay its welcome.

Rated: 7/10

Kitschy horror films are a lot of fun when theyre done well, and this is one of those special ridiculous, hilarious, and over-the-top creature features that makes the grade.

It is easy not to take this film serious and still patiently sit through it whilst enjoying the entertainment it intends to serve.

Rated: 5/10

This is sugar high cinema. In fact, the movie is much like a confectionary treat, but only of the first batch kind.

Rated: 2.5/5

Don't make sense of it and you will have a fun time. Crabs! is exactly what it looks like and there's nothing wrong with that.

I do not understand how the movie has a 75% rating. This movie is awful. As a huge BRated horror fan and a fan of all things Troma I am disgusted with this move to the extend where I fast fastforwaded with the hope that it would become funny or get better and it did not. It's as if it was written by a 12 year old boy with humor to match. I can't say this enough, terrible just terrible. I feel traumatized.

Rated 1 out of 5 stars
