After waiting several years for this on R2, and being put off by the exorbitant R1 prices, here we have a home grown release of a classic 50 cent (not not him) Roger Corman creature feature. Fears that at this price all we'd get is a rubbish public domain rip proved unfounded - I'm pleased to report that the picture quality's pretty good. No extras but I'm not complaining, and the film fair zips along at 60 minutes - James Cameron, are you reading this? Here's hoping that some of the more currently patchy public domain Corman releases - Night of the Blood Beast, Wasp Woman etc - get the same low cost better than average quality treatment.

At last a legit DVD of Attack of the Crab Monsters! This movie has been absent from home viewing for far too long. It's one of the best of Roger Corman's early Sci-Fi films. More good news is that this is a good looking transfer (though not perfect) taken from the theatrical version and not the "expanded for TV showings" version.
And the price certainly can't be beat.

At one time we were able to do nuclear experiments on exotic islands. Naturally the next step is to examine what effect the experiments have on the marine life. When the scientists mysteriously disappear, a second expedition is sent out to look for them. What they find is not quite what they expected. They find a crabby enemy that can absorb the memories of those they eat. This is an absorbing movie. Will they survive or will the crabs feast on people legs. The real question is who are the smarter?
This is truly a Roger Corman movie. Russell Johnson makes a habit of being stranded on islands (the Professor in "Gilligan's Island) and the monsters are quite cute. I wonder if the crab monsters prefer Alaskan Kings and that is why Alaska only has governors. They have a strange diet of brains and radio tubes. The consumed people, become part of the crab, like what happened with the plant in "Little Shop of Horrors"
If you really like atomic bugs, then after this watch "Them!" (1954).

Pretty awful
Not one of the better monster movies from the era, but worth a look at if you just want a laugh
