Episode 08-376 Air Date: 03-02-2024
Set in a quaint seaside town, "Island Claws" explores the chaos unleashed by a biological experiment gone wrong, resulting in oversized, aggressive crabs. The film weaves a narrative around the town's eclectic residents, including a determined photojournalist, a crab scientist, and a community-binding bar owner. As these crabs start to disrupt the idyllic life, the townsfolk must confront not just the monstrous crabs but also their personal and collective fears. The movie, while slow to start, builds up to a climactic confrontation with a giant crab, blending elements of horror with a touch of campiness reminiscent of 1950s creature features. Without delving into the depths of horror, "Island Claws" offers a mildly engaging tale that balances creature-induced terror with human drama.
Cast:
Jo McDonnell as Jan Raines
Robert Lansing as Moody
Nita Talbot as Rosie
