I don't know why I am haunted by the movie. I first was it in the late 50's and for some reason it captured me. it is not shown much if at all anymore on TV. I had all but given up ever seeing it again let alone owning a DVD. I looked at all the sites that offered it and finally found it on DVD on Overstock.com. OH JOY! OH JOY!
Of course, I ordered it and found it to be every bit as entertaining as I had remembered. Mel Welles deliciously over-acting as did most of the cast. What a treat!
You don't have to wait long for the Crabs to attack. They hit as soon as the characters land on the beach. They begin dropping like flies.
If you get the chance, watch this forgotten little flick. I think you'll like it.
