Queen Crab (2013)

"Queen Crab" isn't the worst thing I've seen, but is definitely a far cry from anything great. It's a pretty basic monster movie formula that's main 'draw' (for what it's worth...) is that it attempts to revive the old-school stop-motion FX style. I'll concede that it's moderately refreshing but ultimately pointless, seeing as how the movie, itself, is boring and poorly executed.

A small farm town - ironically named Crabbe Creek - becomes infested with big baby crabs that are birthed from an even bigger crab that has been hiding in a lake for 20-years. When the local sheriff and his deputy begin investigating crab tracks and egg sacks around the rural locale, the townsfolk become aware, killing the crab babies and going to war with mama crab...

Again, it's nice to see stop-motion work in a monster movie throwback, however, the novelty of it doesn't do much for the film, as it really just looks like your standard, cheap Syfy channel shitfest. Needed more crab attacks and less character cliches and corny dialog. Overall, "Queen Crab" could've been worse - it just needed more action.
