Overview
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. The team soon discovers that the tests have given rise to crabs mutated into intelligent, impervious, telepathic giants intent on increasing their numbers by breeding, then travelling to populated areas to feed, and which do not intend to be stopped by their discoverers.

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.
