Cocaine Crabs from Outer Space

Of course I would sit down and watch writer and director Chuck Magee's 2022 movie "Cocaine Crabs From Outer Space", no doubt about it. I mean, the title in itself was sufficient to get my attention.

Sure, I harbored zero expectations to the movie, as I doubted that it would be anywhere near the level of "Cocaine Bear". But I still opted to watch the movie and give it a fair chance.

Granted, I knew that "Cocaine Crabs From Outer Space" was going to be bad, but come on. I mean, they used inarticulate toy crabs of hard plastic, without any moveable parts. And that just makes this movie insanely horrible to sit through if you don't enjoy low budget lousy movies.

Needless to say that I wasn't familiar with a single actor or actress on the cast list in this horrible movie. Suffice it to say that you're not in for 83 minutes of Shakespearian theater when you sit down to watch a movie like "Cocaine Crabs From Outer Space".

The effects are so bad that you can't help but laugh when you see it. And you can see the fishline wire that they used to make the crabs "crawl" around with. It was just hilarious how low key and bad the effects are in this movie.

There was even a plastic crab in the movie holding a sign that reads "ridiculous, isn't it?". So the movie didn't take itself serious, and with good cause. Also a cake with the words "congratulations on quitting smoking" being served for a toddler. And a bowling ball drinking beer. Pretty darn strange, if you ask me.

"Cocaine Crabs From Outer Space" is a low budget movie, and one that requires a particular mindset in order to sit down and enjoy. You need to have a preference for cheesy, home-made, low budget movies if you find enjoyment in this 2022 movie. So it is not a movie that will find an audience everywhere.

And I never thought that in my lifetime that I would get to see inarticulate plastic crabs perform circus acts. But here we are.

The movie's cover over-sells the movie by a thousandfold. Don't set your expectations up to high here.

My rating of "Cocaine Crabs From Outer Space" lands on a very, very generous four out of ten stars. It was so bad that it was actually somewhat bearable to sit through.

My girlfriend and I sat down to watch a movie and stumbled upon this work of art. I adore B movies and she agreed to give it a try.

When I say that this was a great film, I mean it. It took itself just the right amount of serious (not at all), had tons of laughs and had fun moments I will remember to come.

Some reviews for this movie are not so pleasant, but maybe they just weren't ready for the most beautiful passion project. A "Congratulations for quitting smoking" cake for a baby IS funny, if you came for a movie with Hollywood budget, what did you expect when you saw plastic crabs? 10/10.

First off, one simply can not and should not expect much from a literal No-budget film called, "Cocaine Crabs From Outer Space." If you go into it thinking it's going to be anything but bad, you need to adjust your expectations.

I went into it expecting the worst but hoping for the best. It was somewhere within that realm.

"Attack of the Killer Tomatoes" had 1,000 times more production value than this. The acting wasn't intentionally bad, it was just bad. I did chuckle a few times, and the press conference at the end was actually kind of funny. And once you reach the third act and have adjusted to the toy crabs with no movable parts and the overwhelming cheapness of this opus, it gets easier to hang in there until the end.

This IS a terrible movie, make no mistake. And I really wish reviewers who give it a 10 would please not do that, because you're only screwing with the system. Look, there's absolutely nothing wrong with presenting a low-sorry-NO budget movie as long as it has some entertainment value. "Cocaine Crabs From Outer Space" really didn't bother me in its awfulness, because in spite of it all, it still entertained me. I got the joke, I didn't expect much. I think 4 is a fair score.

If you have ever watched a movie that was reacted to by Mystery Science Theater 3000 and loved it then you will love this movie. The cheapness of it made it all the better. It is one of those movies that you could say it's so bad that it's good. Me and my friends watched this movie and could not stop laughing but in all honesty the actors did great jobs with it. None of them even looked at the camera unless it was intentional to break the fourth wall. If you want to laugh your butt off and have a good night with a funny movie then this is the one for you. On top of that the actors are all love able dopes. Yes there are some scenes where you can actually see the strings being used to move the crabs but at the same time that's what adds to the comedy. They say it's a horror movie about crabs from outer space but I think they knew what they were doing with the comedy aspect and think they did a great job with the extremely low budget they had for this film especially when you consider something like sharknado which had a budget of 2 million dollars for all the CGI and this film had anywhere between 1000 to maybe 5000 as a budget and sharknado was considered a B-Movie but I would even throw this in there as a B-Movie.

I was cracking up from the opening shot to the ending. This movie actually surprised me, I was expecting garbage, but give it a chance, there are so many redeemable qualities to this if you like low-budget comedy.

The stupid wordplay, the noire-like plot line, the self-aware tone and cartoony jokes- honestly, this movie is packed with great jokes that give A-list comedies a run for their money. The cake for the baby, the romantic dinner, the rube goldberg machine that takes itself out for a beer.. All around a fun production performed by lovable goofballs with genuinely good comedic timing. I loved it, great date night movie.
