Caranguejos Assassinos

WOW!! As far as Gremlins rip-offs go, this is up there with the best!

Radu is not the character 2022 wanted but the character that 2022 needed!

What a absolute gem of a man, he can sing, swing swords and buy women with wrenches while making us laugh, cry and feel things we never thought we would feel ever again.

HIs ninja skills, drill using abilities and encouragement single handedly won the war! Like a god sent from the heavens he carried this film on his back like some kind of shell.

Oh and there was some crabs in it somewhere...

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.

Campy good fun. If you like to laugh and gross out -- highly recommended. The cinematography, production design, and acting is very good. The edit and score kept perfect pacing to the end. Good work!

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)

But ever too late for the mood and minds of todays generations. Its a soup aux creative of stuff and caracters in comedy that we enjoyed in the 1980's, and to make a success either through irony or forreal it bellydives into oblivion for sure.

It made me laugh a few times cause i do love the 80's comedy with practical joke and slap stick instead of verbal throwups that rules today. Cast and plot and all over special effects are loudicrous and qualifys itself into some of the most cringeworthy and cheesy stuff ever made in this millenium.

I know my comedy, and its not what the grumpy old man enjoys, therefore a degraded recommend, pointing at the first half as viewable.
