I know what you're thinking... Another forgettable, low-budget comedy horror. But what if (stay with me for a second) it was actually really, really funny? And "unwoke" for a rare change? I hate to list that as a pro, but it's been exhausting over the last few years and we deserve a break.
Well then, thank God it's still OK to make fun of immigrants, as long as they're white, because otherwise we'd have never met Radu. Is he Russian? Bulgarian? I'm not sure it's ever specified. He starts as a side character, but quickly gets more and more screen time as the film progresses to the point where he actually performs the end credits song. And what a joy that is to listen to, without a hint of sarcasm.
I wonder if that was the filmmaker's plan all along, or if it became obvious they were on to a good thing with that character so started layering him in more. Regardless, we're all winners as a result.
But the dialogue as a whole is very funny, solid cast and passable special effects. Honestly, I turned this on as a "background" movie while futzing around the house, but quickly realized it was going to be way better than the average streaming schlock so sat down to watch.
Will there be a Crabs 2? I for one really frigging hope so, you dirty hole persons!

The Future of Cinema Belongs to... Radu!
Throwback to Little Monsters
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.
Clustergrams and horseshoe crabs, a perfect combination.
In the quiet seaside town of Mendocino, California, people are having their faces eaten off by horseshoe crabs that were irradiated by the collapse of a nuclear plant, are confronted by these crabs. Radu, a foreign exchange student, Maddy, Annalise, Philip and his brother Hunter have to stop smoking weed and getting drunk. They need to find a solution. This is the perfect B-movie to relax. Yes, the CGI is poor but the acting is good. And an excellent acting performance from Chase Padgett (Radu). Do not get your hopes too high but you will enjoy this movie. This movie reminded me of Gremlins, Godzilla vs. King Kong, Jaws and Transformers. Another reason to watch: Imorium Clustergram and the famous horseshoe crab. Don´t tell me you don´t want to know what these two are? Just watch it and relax.
