Creature Comedy ‘CRABS!’ Brings Man-Eating Crabs Home for the Holidays
Described as “Zombeavers meets Godzilla,” the indie creature feature CRABS! is headed home in time for the holidays, available to watch on iTunes, Google Play and Amazon Prime on November 15, 2022. Bloody Disgusting has also learned today that a bonus features packed Director’s Edition Blu-ray will be released just one week later on November 22, 2022.
In the film from director Pierce Berolzheimer, “Mutated by nuclear runoff a horde of murderous horseshoe crabs descend on a sleepy California town causing Prom Night terror. As the deadly crustaceans claw their way through the disbelieving population, it’s up to a ramshackle band of students and police to address the increasingly ginormous crab menace in a love letter to such practical effects horrors as Gremlins and nostalgic Roger Corman classics.”
The cast of unlucky humans in this one includes Dylan Riley Snyder, Jessica Morris, Robert Craighead, Allie Jennings, Bryce Durfee, and Chase Padgett.
CRABS! has been described as “a film lover’s dream” by Nerdly, “an incredibly fun movie” by Grimoire of Horror, “big, dumb, bloody fun from start to finish” by Modern Horrors, “exactly what you’re looking for if you’re hoping for ludicrous entertainment” by Horror Obsessive, and “a cult film that will be heard of long after its release” by Mulderville.
CRABS! won the Audience Award for Best Feature Film as well as Best Screenplay at Nevermore Film Festival, Best Director and Best Special Effects at HorrorHound Film Festival,
Best Comedy Film at Another Hole in the Head, Best Horror Feature at Phoenix Film Festival, Best Feature Film at Creature Feature Weekend, the Jury Prize at Rojo Sangre Film Festival,
and the Fandor Independent Vision Award at the Mendocino Film Festival.

When best friends Glen (Stephen Dorff) and Terry (Louis Tripp) stumble across a mysterious crystalline rock in Glen’s backyard, they quickly dig up the newly sodden lawn searching for more precious stones. Instead, they unearth The Gate — an underground chamber of terrifying demonic evil. The teenagers soon understand what evil they’ve released as they are overcome with an assortment of horrific experiences. With fiendish followers invading suburbia, it’s now up to the kids to discover the secret that can lock The Gate forever . . . if it’s not too late.
If you’ve never seen The Gate, it’s now streaming on Prime Video and Tubi.
