Movie review - "Attack of the Crab Monsters" (1957) *** (re-watching)

 The script is good. Not the direction which throws away chances of suspense - arriving at the island, the missing former inhabitants - and drama - a promising love triangle is barely dealt with.

But there's creepiness with the voices of the other scientists calling out, the outrageous huge crab claws, the intensity of the cast. It could've been a masterpiece but for a cheapie film you can see why it was a big hit.
