Review of Crabs!

Crabs! (2021)
6/10
Goofy, wacky, ridiculously funny Gremlins
9 October 2022
I know that generation x will love this film. It may or may not be the cup of tea of the millennials and nothing satisfy the expectations of generation z anyway.

Crabs reminded me of the Gremlins, a 1984 film produced by Steven Spielberg and the Warner Brothers. Little, cuddly, cute, and squeaky animals, which turn mischievous if they are allowed to drink water. It was a fantastical horror comedy flick with a far bigger budget. It made no sense at all and it didn't have to. It was just crazy, stupid, funny, and very entertaining.

Crabs have a similar attitude. Although it is made on a much much smaller budget and thus it is a low-tech film. It doesn't take itself seriously and gets wackier by the minute.

The riddenclus lines of Radu, hilariously played by Chase Padget very well match the craziness of the script.

Horseshoe crabs mysteriously develop a taste for a human face with a bouncing attitude and a relentless appetite. They propagate fast and cause havoc in a small town.
