Review of Attack of the Crab Monsters (1957) by Dustin G — 08 Nov 2013

It concerns an island infested with giant mutant crabs which can absorb their victims' minds and communicate with their voice through metal objects. Yeah, plus electricity makes them disintegrate completely, and bullets pass through them like X-rays.

Simply put, this is a really bad movie. The visual quality is really poor, the science fiction is ridiculous, and overall it is a boring piece of junk. The ending was also stupidly rushed, after witnessing one of the main characters sacrificing himself to kill the final crab, we receive little to no reaction from the rest of the cast, and after a mere moment the end credits start rolling. Heh, at least it ended quickly, after 67 minutes or so.

Though I found it a complete waste of my time, I was surprised at the gore in this one, which included a decapitation, keeping in mind that this is from a period when such things were still rare in horror cinema.
