Can a disgraced detective and a pet-store worker stop them before the world is overrun by coked up crustaceans?
This was an experience.
Whatever I was expecting from a film called "Cocaine Crabs From Outer Space", the reality was something different.
To begin with, this clearly has no budget. I've seen plenty of low-budget films before (Check out this page for a selection: FILMS ) but this doesn't even have that level of budget.
Case in point: the Alien crabs are plastic toys, occasionally being lobbed at their human victims by somebody offscreen.
The human cast are enthusiastic amateurs and the production crew is basically one guy called Chuck. (who also stars and possibly made the coffee & sandwiches too.)
Before you go away thinking that I hated this movie, not so fast.
No, this is not a "good" movie. Then again, with this sort of backyard project, normal definitions of "good", "bad" and "Sane" don't really apply.
Somewhat to my surprise, I sort of enjoyed it. It definitely was an interesting 83 minutes. I think what helped is that "..Crabs" takes the basic idea and the lack of FX budget and just goes for it.
The two leads are easy to like too. As are the crazed killer crabs. You might be baffled, but you won't be bored.
To sum up: Approach with caution and low expectations and see what happens
