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.

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!

HEY EVERYBODY ITS ME (4) and today we review ....my last diagnosis ....THE MOVIE !!!

Dont cha just hate when you get crabs ? ... well maybe not in this case ... SO here we have ...WOW the definition of a B-film ....this almost seems like one of the many drug fueled animals films that have been coming out lately since COCAINE BEAR you say ? .... well this predates that movie by a whole year ? ... yea so who ripped off who mr.bear ? ... now this here crabs from space eating the mountains of snow ....is ...low budget for sure ...so low in fact i have a feeling they literally found some plastic crabs at the local thrift shop and said " you know what ... i can make a movie out of that" .. BAM ...here we all are ... and i can respect that... (thats literally how my "season of the witch was born lol)

SO lets get to it shall we ? ... the story is loose ...just randomly tossed together enough to make something make sense .....the acting is terrible ....the FX are - PLASTIC CRABS ..and some REALLY bad green screen ....its out of focus sometimes (i know how that goes for sure lol)... this movie is great ... it KNOWS what it is and doesnt try to be anything else ....and THAT makes a good movie ... the biggest problem indie films make is trying to be a million dollar film when they are a 100 dollar film ... BE funny ...BE rough around the edges ....BE yourself ... and own it .... this movie has fun, it is fun , its silly (obviously) ...i give mad respect to these people, everyone involved did a great job , its not easy making this stuff happen so you all get a gold star ....

7/10

the colors are nice by the way ... sound is good ...

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.

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.

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.

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.
