A group of scientists travel to a remote island to study the effects of nuclear weapons tests, only to get stranded when their airplane mysteriously explodes. The team soon discovers that the tests have given rise to crabs mutated into intelligent, impervious, telepathic giants intent on increasing their numbers by breeding, then travelling to populated areas to feed, and which do not intend to be stopped by their discoverers.

Now we know where the Professor gained all his knowledge prior to boarding the S.S. Minnow.

Research team lands on island when another boat that is coming up behind them hits a wave and a man falls overboard. The man sinks and when hi8s body floats back up his head is missing. On the island the team are experiencing tremors off and on all the time when one of them discovers that they could be facing a giant worm or perhaps some other giant animal. Most of the team disbelieves that of course and just go on studying, looking for a reason why the first expedition team disappeared. Excellent little Corman flick with the usual horrendous special effects that you would expect from the master of the cheapie-film. And not only are the effects horrendous they are absolutely terrible beyond words. Anywho the film is quite good and you should watch it if you need something to do.

Expectations were lower in 1957

Usually if I said “the giant crabs have better characterisation than the human characters” it’d be a sarcastic dig at the movie, but this time it’s a compliment. Those crabs have rich inner lives. Also, while I wouldn’t call Roger Corman a feminist director at least the only human woman in the movie is taken seriously as a scientist. It isn’t much but it’s more than I expected from a movie with that poster.
