Cocaine Crabs from Outer Space

Of course I would sit down and watch writer and director Chuck Magee's 2022 movie "Cocaine Crabs From Outer Space", no doubt about it. I mean, the title in itself was sufficient to get my attention.

Sure, I harbored zero expectations to the movie, as I doubted that it would be anywhere near the level of "Cocaine Bear". But I still opted to watch the movie and give it a fair chance.

Granted, I knew that "Cocaine Crabs From Outer Space" was going to be bad, but come on. I mean, they used inarticulate toy crabs of hard plastic, without any moveable parts. And that just makes this movie insanely horrible to sit through if you don't enjoy low budget lousy movies.

Needless to say that I wasn't familiar with a single actor or actress on the cast list in this horrible movie. Suffice it to say that you're not in for 83 minutes of Shakespearian theater when you sit down to watch a movie like "Cocaine Crabs From Outer Space".

The effects are so bad that you can't help but laugh when you see it. And you can see the fishline wire that they used to make the crabs "crawl" around with. It was just hilarious how low key and bad the effects are in this movie.

There was even a plastic crab in the movie holding a sign that reads "ridiculous, isn't it?". So the movie didn't take itself serious, and with good cause. Also a cake with the words "congratulations on quitting smoking" being served for a toddler. And a bowling ball drinking beer. Pretty darn strange, if you ask me.

"Cocaine Crabs From Outer Space" is a low budget movie, and one that requires a particular mindset in order to sit down and enjoy. You need to have a preference for cheesy, home-made, low budget movies if you find enjoyment in this 2022 movie. So it is not a movie that will find an audience everywhere.

And I never thought that in my lifetime that I would get to see inarticulate plastic crabs perform circus acts. But here we are.

The movie's cover over-sells the movie by a thousandfold. Don't set your expectations up to high here.

My rating of "Cocaine Crabs From Outer Space" lands on a very, very generous four out of ten stars. It was so bad that it was actually somewhat bearable to sit through.

First off, one simply can not and should not expect much from a literal No-budget film called, "Cocaine Crabs From Outer Space." If you go into it thinking it's going to be anything but bad, you need to adjust your expectations.

I went into it expecting the worst but hoping for the best. It was somewhere within that realm.

"Attack of the Killer Tomatoes" had 1,000 times more production value than this. The acting wasn't intentionally bad, it was just bad. I did chuckle a few times, and the press conference at the end was actually kind of funny. And once you reach the third act and have adjusted to the toy crabs with no movable parts and the overwhelming cheapness of this opus, it gets easier to hang in there until the end.

This IS a terrible movie, make no mistake. And I really wish reviewers who give it a 10 would please not do that, because you're only screwing with the system. Look, there's absolutely nothing wrong with presenting a low-sorry-NO budget movie as long as it has some entertainment value. "Cocaine Crabs From Outer Space" really didn't bother me in its awfulness, because in spite of it all, it still entertained me. I got the joke, I didn't expect much. I think 4 is a fair score.

This film is a bizarre yet captivating sci-fi comedy that pushes the boundaries of absurdity. The premise is simple: it follows a group of intergalactic crustaceans who invade Earth in search of their next high: cocaine. With over-the-top performances and outlandish special effects, the movie delivers a surreal and entertaining experience. While the premise may seem outlandish, the clever satire and witty dialogue make for an unexpectedly engaging watch. However, the film's reliance on shock value and crude humor may not be to everyone's taste. Overall, "Cocaine Crabs from Outer Space" is a wild ride that offers a unique blend of humor and sci-fi mayhem.

The title is Cocaine Crabs from Outer Space, and that's EXACTLY what you get!

OK, I'm going to level with you. If the title appeals to you, check out the trailer. If it still looks appealing to you, it's going to be a hell of a good time. However, this isn't your type of movie, you're going to be MISERABLE!

This is without a doubt, a very low budget (probably $5000 or less) extremely independent horror comedy from the same director that brought you the preposterous and hilarious superhero comedy, Boardwithanailinitman!

Despite the low budget and ridiculousness of the movie, it's got humor that almost always hits, and the 2 main characters work well off of each other.

I HIGHLY recommend this film to lovers of low budget, self-aware, so bad they're good horror or comedies!

An extremely rare 10/10!

Do you like underground, B Rated films? We'll guess what? It's not even B Rated. It's like Z Rated.

It's like someone just filmed everything on an iPhone and they didn't even know how to use an iPhone because they're used to pagers.

It was just so bad. So so bad. It's got it all:

-Unfocused shots -horrible cuts and editing -do you like the sound of wind? Cause there's a lot of that!

And the budget? Must have been $100.

I'm not gonna do any spoilers or anything cause I'm not that guy, so if you're REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY bored, go for it.

3/10 (on here. 2/5 normally)

Only gave it 3 because I dig homemade movies, but man, it's bad!
