Cocaine Crabs from Outer Space

If you have ever watched a movie that was reacted to by Mystery Science Theater 3000 and loved it then you will love this movie. The cheapness of it made it all the better. It is one of those movies that you could say it's so bad that it's good. Me and my friends watched this movie and could not stop laughing but in all honesty the actors did great jobs with it. None of them even looked at the camera unless it was intentional to break the fourth wall. If you want to laugh your butt off and have a good night with a funny movie then this is the one for you. On top of that the actors are all love able dopes. Yes there are some scenes where you can actually see the strings being used to move the crabs but at the same time that's what adds to the comedy. They say it's a horror movie about crabs from outer space but I think they knew what they were doing with the comedy aspect and think they did a great job with the extremely low budget they had for this film especially when you consider something like sharknado which had a budget of 2 million dollars for all the CGI and this film had anywhere between 1000 to maybe 5000 as a budget and sharknado was considered a B-Movie but I would even throw this in there as a B-Movie.

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.

Why would someone do this? This is so horrible words fail me. Is there a market for horrible movies?

The crabs look like the crabs you find in the usa, tan / orange. But its made of plastic. It s a toy thing. No moving parts, just a toy crab. At no point do the crabs move on their own.

It is horrible.

Its like some company said " here is $200, I need a horror movie about crabs". And they went down to the dollar store and bought about 20 toy crabs and made a movie with it.

Cocaine Bear was actually quite good. Dumb but good. Was entertaining.

This movie is an insult to humankind. This may be my new number 1 worst dumbest movie ever made. That bad.

To their credit they show you the toy crabs right away, so within 30 seconds you know what your are watching. I commend them for that.

I need to stresss that there is no attempt to hide that the crabs are plastic toys. They just do not care. Maybe they think this is an art form? Bizarre.

Funny? Noooo, it is not like Dumb and Dumber that makes you laugh with dumb situations. This one is just offensive dumb and poinless.

Any actor involved with this is desperate to eat. It will not be a bright spot on their resume.

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!
