A group of scientists travel to a remote island to study the effects of nuclear weapons tests, only to get stranded when their airplane mysteriously explodes.

Viewing Notes

Pretty sure I have seen this before because I remember The Professor (Russell Johnson) in this. Another not-so-good early Corman but still interesting to view. Kinda weird spin on the monster animal attack movies of the time…. in that the giant crabs have intelligence. Surprised this device hasn’t been used in modern monster animal flicks.
