    Where to Watch

Mutants with brains provide the novelty in this Roger Corman thriller. Richard Garland, Pamela Duncan. Hank: Russell Johnson. Dr. Weigand: Leslie Bradley. Dr. Carson: Richard Cutting. Quinlan: Ed Nelson. Deveroux: Mel Welles. Ron: Beech Dickerson.

Another Roger Corman low-budget, wham-bam, quickie sci-fi film with silly looking monsters and fairly laughable dialog. This one concerns an expedition to a Pacific island to study the effects of atomic radiation and to find out what happened to the last group of scientists that disappeared. What they find is two giant crabs who have eaten the last group of explorers, absorbed their knowledge, and imitated their human voices to entrap more victims. Good premise and some scary moments make this silly fun.
