Crabs! – Screambox

A horde of mutant crustaceans descend on a small coastal town in this wacky horror comedy. There’s no pretense with Crabs!; it’s abundantly clear upfront exactly what type of movie it is...

Described as “Zombeavers meets Godzilla,” the indie creature feature Crabs! is now infecting horror fans over on Screambox!

In the gross-out horror comedy from director Pierce Berolzheimer…

“Mutated by nuclear runoff a horde of murderous horseshoe crabs descend on a sleepy California town causing Prom Night terror.

“As the deadly crustaceans claw their way through the disbelieving population, it’s up to a ramshackle band of students and police to address the increasingly ginormous crab menace in a love letter to such practical effects horrors as Gremlins and nostalgic Roger Corman classics.”

Crabs! has been described as “a film lover’s dream” by Nerdly, “an incredibly fun movie” by Grimoire of Horror, “big, dumb, bloody fun from start to finish” by Modern Horrors, “exactly what you’re looking for if you’re hoping for ludicrous entertainment” by Horror Obsessive, and “a cult film that will be heard of long after its release” by Mulderville.

Murder Syndicate opens with Isa driving her car and dealing with her three squabbling offspring, Cain, Becca and Jonah.

But this isn’t some suburban soccer mom taking her kids to school. She’s the head of a criminal syndicate and they’re professional assassins on the way to a job. A job that almost fails when Isa mysteriously collapses. Isa’s boyfriend Zane turns up in time to get them to safety but it’s obvious something is wrong. And that sign of weakness at the top sets a battle for control of the operation into motion.

Writer/director Michael Matteo Rossi gives Murder Syndicate one of the more unusual openings for a mob thriller but quickly gets back into familiar territory with a burst of action...

Centenary screening of Nosferatu, world premiere of stoner comedy The Smoke Master bookend event.

Brazil’s Fantaspoa genre festival, billed as the largest of its kind in Latin America, is returning to an in-person event for the first time since 2019 and has unveiled its first wave of titles.

Once upon a time, creature features dominated entertainment.

Pierce McDermott Berolzheimer hopes to find a spot in the hearts of genre fans with creature feature, Crabs!

As director, writer, editor, and producer, Berolzheimer's hands are all over this low-budget indie flick, and he should be proud.

Crabs! offers a lot straight from the features we love, like those from auteur Roger Corman to the plethora of creature flicks that once dominated Syfy's weekend lineup.

Berolzheimer set out to make a movie that is "pure, unbridled fun," and "excessive and over-the-top, but also genuine and heartwarming."

It sure sounds like a tall order, but the filmmaking gods were with him, and Crabs! carries viewers through a small town's mutated Horseshoe Crab invasion until an unlikely hero saves the day.

Crabs! is personal to Berolzheimer. Along with his specific goals, it is also a testament to his uncle's courage while living with muscular dystrophy.

Dollar for dollar, nothing beats a creature feature for entertainment value, and with trashy B-movie fun like this, it’s hard to go wrong. Find a random thing to mutate, throw a load of horny teenagers and a couple of buckets of goo at it, and you’ve got yourself something with selling power. But Crabs! (much like Them! – the exclamation mark is important) and its writer/director Pierre Berolzheimer, don’t stop there, hamming up even the hammiest of set-ups, and eventually taking things far beyond the realms of “so bad it’s good”, into frankly brain-scrambling territory.

“Crabs!” shrieks a mortally injured woman with one eye hanging from its socket, as nothing short of an army of vicious horseshoe crabs swarm the beaches of the Amity-style island of Mendocino. Like little rubber suited roombas, slowly edging closer and closer to a town full of unsuspecting teens, and on Prom night.

Stupid, ridiculous, inept… Amazing! Yes, that’s director Pierce Berolzheimer’s Crabs! in a nutshell.

Feeling like a product of 50s creature-feature B-movies and the output of The Asylum, Crabs! plot is simple: a horde of murderous crab monsters descend on a sleepy coastal town on prom night, and only a ragtag group of outcasts – including Philip McCalister, a wheelchair-bound geek; his girl friend Maddy, who becomes more; her mom and his brother – can save the day. Yes, we’re in cliche-filled territory here but that’s not a bad thing, for Crabs! is actually an on-the-nose satire that plays with the conventions of the genre whilst conforming to them too!

On the surface it may seem like Crabs! is an inept mess but there’s so much going on...

A horde of murderous crab monsters descend on a sleepy coastal town on Prom night, and only a ragtag group of outcasts can save the day!

Crabs! was originally announced back in 2015 so it's crazy how long the film took to come out. It is premiering at the UK's FrightFest this Thursday August 26th.

Pierce Berolzheimer wrote and directs the love letter to practical effects and old school creature features.

Short and sweet it gets to the point and it looks like we should expect lots of blood! Glorious.
