Cocaine Crabs from Outer Space

In the initial minutes of the movie, the sense of comedy and tone are set beautifully. With goofy sound effects for the speech of the crabs, and the odd vacuum sounds in place of their snorting, the overall production of the crabs was beautifully done. Regardless of the hollowness and plasticity of the crabs themselves, there was very tangible life in their movements and expressions, and it is clear to see the love and care put into this project. You can see the very real community that helped in the production of the film, and the final product is one to be proud of. With hilarious gags, excellent editing, and incredible acting, this movie is a must watch.

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!

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.

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.

My girlfriend and I sat down to watch a movie and stumbled upon this work of art. I adore B movies and she agreed to give it a try.

When I say that this was a great film, I mean it. It took itself just the right amount of serious (not at all), had tons of laughs and had fun moments I will remember to come.

Some reviews for this movie are not so pleasant, but maybe they just weren't ready for the most beautiful passion project. A "Congratulations for quitting smoking" cake for a baby IS funny, if you came for a movie with Hollywood budget, what did you expect when you saw plastic crabs? 10/10.
