      Suspense Thriller

      The wonderful cast took us on a suspenseful trip not knowing, along with them, what was going to happen. Impressive use of the camera. Watching it unfold added to the suspense. Kudos to producer/director/actor Ahcitz Azcona. Great job.

      Really enjoyed this

      An interesting, taut, well done movie. At a lean 72 minute running time, there's no fat on this well paced thriller. And it will keep you guessing. Don't let the subtitles throw you. It's an accessible film you will absolutely enjoy. Well written, acted and directed.

      A Terrific Indie Film!!

      This is such a good film! Writter/Director/Actor Ahcitz Azcona did an incredible job! It's hard enough to direct a film... but to also play a prominent role as an actor is a whole other thing! All the acting in this film is top notch! The film has a wonder look and story too! This film for sure gets a thumbs up from me!

      You gotta watch The Inevitable Death of the Crab!

      The Inevitable Death of The Crab is an extortion plot crime drama that is great at causing the audience to feel the paranoia from beginning to end. The plot is good and kept me guessing throughout the whole movie. The acting is solid and I loved the father/son dynamics. At only 70 minutes long it is a bit shorter than most but the story flows as it should. No reason to make it longer when the story is told as it should be. The opening sequence does a great job at reminding us crime does still exist in Mexico and it could happen to anyone. Two thumbs up! I recommend The Inevitable Death of the Crab.

      Glad I took a chance on this

      A solid thriller. The plot, acting and storytelling were all better than I expected from an indie film. But the real stand out is the director's ability to keep the suspense going. I was a total wreck and it was awesome. Ha ha.
