5 Star Drive Inn Movie

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 5, 2023

Verified Purchase

You have to admit the 50s and 60s we were still innocent to a degree. All the Monsters were Atomic because nothing scared you more than the "Bomb" except for the creatures it created when we tested it.
I can remember seeing this at the drive inn back in 1957. I was 5 years old and to me the special effects were as real as you could get. I have fun watching these old B movies, they can show us who we were once, not so long ago!

We Need All The Drawn Butter in the World

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 8, 2021

Radioactive giant crabs that not only eat your body but consume your mind as well.

Another great Roger Corman sci-fi horror movie. I love this, it’s a fun short movie. It is just the right amount of time to introduce your monster, let it eat through most of the cast, steal their minds, and then get dead. The ability to eat their minds and then have them talk to you was a really great feature and creepy as hell. Not only is it massive, almost unkillable, except when you need it to be, destroying the island you’re standing on, but it will eat your brain in the bargain. It’s full of science gobbledygoo and that also makes it so much fun. Through enough science sounding words into a script and bang you got a 50s sci-fi monster movie. I liked how Corman committed to a giant monster, instead of going to usual route with a normal sized model or even just a normal sized crab and superimposing it like most movies of the era. It looks cheap as can be but that is also part of the fun for me. It’s made out of plastic bags, builders foam and the sweat of the model builder and I love that handcrafted feel these old monsters have. Giving it human eyes was a great touch, something about those big eyes makes it more unsettling. I wonder if Guy Smith, author of the Night of the Crabs pulp horror series, was a big fan of this movie? A fun sci-fi romp my only question is why didn’t they try and drive the monster off with a big vat of drawn butter, crab’s natural enemy?

Atomic Age Monster Crab....Transhumanism?

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 14, 2019

Verified Purchase

This movie is more interesting in concept than execution. Scene by scene this is a pretty generic monster movie of the period. But the broad plot is pretty awesome.

The titular crab monsters don't kill their victims per say, they absorb their consciousness. Their individual minds memories and personality continue on. Coreman worked with similar ideas in Night of the Blood Beast (1958) but in that film it was an alien threat positioned as more explicitly malevolent in it's assimilation, a sort of biological Borg. In this film the victims seem pretty chill about being part of a crab based gestalt now and keep trying to explain things to the human survivors. Who freak out and won't stop trying to kill the crabs. To be fair the crabs also forcibly 'upload' a few people but hey mistakes were made on both sides. It's like a First Contact situation gone wrong, but it's almost with ourselves.

This is all pretty heady stuff for a Roger Corman 1950's atomic paranoia B movie. I just wish these ideas were attached to a less cheesy production. I'd also love to know if we're intended to view the crabs as somewhat sympathetic. Because the humans never seem to discuss any of the implications, it's like they think they're in a normal monster movie. "Welp my friend is in a crab body now, gotta kill him.' Maybe at the time it just read like a metaphor for Communism. Probably that because the Crabs do a complete heal turn at the end and start talking about "planning an assault on the world of men" out of nowhere.

It's worth watching for fans of Coreman, sci-fi, monster movies, b-movies etc. Basically if you're the kind of person to be reading this review at all you should see this for historical purposes. But as a piece of entertainment taken at face value it's poorly paced, muddled, unfocused and a bit boring. I mean, it was on an episode of MST3k for goodness sake.

3 stars because I just didn't know what else to give this oddity of a film.

Not Corman's Best Nor His Worst

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 24, 2020

Verified Purchase

This movie actually has a rather interesting premise. Giant, telepathic crabs that absorb the inner person of their victims.

Now that has just GOT to be original!

But about a third of the way into this movie, I found myself rooting for the giant, killer crabs to win...

The kindly Professor from Gilligan's Island here was a raspy, unlikable tough guy. The telepathic crab-brain voices were on the hokey side. The heavily over-used camera angle looking up the rocky side of a hill, yet calling it "the pit!" And the way the island was inexplicably getting smaller and smaller. (I think they did explain that last one, but I didn't catch it. Somehow the crabs were doing it, those rotten telepathic, giant crabs!!)

I thought the end of this movie was the best part. We finally get a good look at one of the giant crabs, and not just an arm telescoping into the field of view. And the cranky Professor finally redeems himself.

The giant crabs actually looked cool, so I'm adding a half star for that. Slick theater poster art, too. Real slick!

I was thinking that this film was OK to watch once, and that's about it. But now I want to go back and see why the island was shrinking. Oh, and I also subsequently bought a DVD set to get Corman's "War of the Satellites" (which I recommend), and this movie is also in that set. I have a feeling this film may grow on me a little when I do watch it again. Maybe I got too close to one of the giant crabs on my first viewing, and it absorbed a chunk of my mind. 🤔

2.5 STARS. Subject to change!

Wonderful trash !

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on August 23, 2020

Verified Purchase

I loved this movie from start to finish. Yes, the dialogue is stilted and the geographical scope limited. Yes, it is only an hour long. But that all pales into insignificance besides the wonderful crab monsters with their articulated claws and robotic human speaking voices (which rather chillingly reminded me of the creatures from Graham Masterton’s “Wells of Hell” novel).

Sure this movie is the purest of trash. But if you believe that monsters became much less scary with the advent of CGI, then this is for you.

Film of my youth.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on August 20, 2014

Verified Purchase

I have given this film 4 stars, not because it is a great film. It is not. But I like these old sci fi/ horror. Films
I watched it years ago when I was much younger at the special showing of this type of film on a Sunday.
I thought the plot is a bit thin. The monster crabs are ok, but they look like people dressed up, sometimes.
You can play spot the people's legs on the crabs.
However if you forget all this and just watch without any great expectations. You may find it enjoyable.
There were lots of these type of films around this time.

Crabby no more!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on May 5, 2010

After waiting several years for this on R2, and being put off by the exorbitant R1 prices, here we have a home grown release of a classic 50 cent (not not him) Roger Corman creature feature. Fears that at this price all we'd get is a rubbish public domain rip proved unfounded - I'm pleased to report that the picture quality's pretty good. No extras but I'm not complaining, and the film fair zips along at 60 minutes - James Cameron, are you reading this? Here's hoping that some of the more currently patchy public domain Corman releases - Night of the Blood Beast, Wasp Woman etc - get the same low cost better than average quality treatment.
