Crabs!

In the quiet seaside town of Mendocino, California, people are having their faces eaten off by horseshoe crabs that were irradiated by the collapse of a nuclear plant, are confronted by these crabs. Radu, a foreign exchange student, Maddy, Annalise, Philip and his brother Hunter have to stop smoking weed and getting drunk. They need to find a solution. This is the perfect B-movie to relax. Yes, the CGI is poor but the acting is good. And an excellent acting performance from Chase Padgett (Radu). Do not get your hopes too high but you will enjoy this movie. This movie reminded me of Gremlins, Godzilla vs. King Kong, Jaws and Transformers. Another reason to watch: Imorium Clustergram and the famous horseshoe crab. Don´t tell me you don´t want to know what these two are? Just watch it and relax.

Many years ago, I saw a movie called Dance of the Dead. That movie had zombies as its main enemies ... and was funnier than this output. Now I'm not hating, I'm just explaining why I used the summary title. This is quite fun too - you just have to suspend your disbelief and go with the flow.

There are quite a few things that do not work as well as the filmmakers may have thought they do (or the actors for that matter - especially the times they talk directly to the viewer or at least half wink at them) - but if you are grumpy about it, you will not have much fun either. The Radu character will be the litmus test for the viewer - can you dig the silliness of him (also the actor is doing some other voice over work here, as you can see in the end credits) ... you'll be entertained.

It opens with intercourse on a beach and ends with a song during the end credits ... the song is funnier I'd say, but then again the beginning is also a ... highlight (no pun intended)

Just dumb fun. Switch off your brain and have fun. Try not to read too much info as you don't want this spoiling.

A fun throwback to little creature features such as Gremlins and Critters that is not as polished or extreme as it could be.

The acting is alright, with characters that are somewhat bland (with the exception of am offensive comic relief character called Radu, who while fun at times, is definitely too over utilized). But kudos for having a physically disabled character as the protagonist.

The effects are pretty impressive for a film of this budget but it goes too much into camp in the kaju type end sequence.

All in all a fun little romp, but don't go expecting too much.

It is ocean demons meets the "Gremlins", and then it is Godzilla's horseshoe crab meets the Iron Giant's nerdy brother, with all the zaniness, a pinch of the charm, and none of the sincerity. Who would have ever thought that Dwight Schrute's Ukrainian cousin, Radu, would steal the show? Straight out the gate, following an animated intro, we know we're in for some Sharknado realm calamity with a graphic sex scene and gory violence. It was an entertaining ride, except for the Lord's name used in vain, the overuse of F words and middle fingers, and the fact that EVERYBODY seems to smoke the weezy.
