A silly but lovable sci-fi cheapie from the prolific Roger Corman, this monster movie has mutant brain-eating crabs attacking scientists on an irradiated island. The cast -- including Mel Welles, Russell Johnson, and Jonathan Haze -- will delight genre buffs, and although the crabs themselves are quite unfrightening, Corman manages to keep it entertaining. Some claim that one pair of visible shoes beneath the tacky creatures belonged to Jack Nicholson. It's only 64 minutes long, well-paced, and just the thing to warm up a video monster marathon.
