Verdict: Creature Feature, Creature Feature
Story: Queen Crab starts in Crabbe Creek 20 years ago where a young Melissa finds a large crab in her family lake while her parents are fighting. Melissa feeds this crab part of her father experiment making it grow before disaster strikes as her parents are killed.
Move forward to the present where a farmer finds his prize cow eaten leading to the Sheriff (Van Sant) and deputy Sonny Huggins (Lounello) investigating. We meet a grown up Melissa (Miller) who has been keeping her and very private until an old friend Jennifer Kane (Metz) comes to visit. When Stewart MacKendrick (DeLucia) from the wildlife commission comes to town to look in to the tracks left by the crab.
When it appears that the giant crab has had babies the crabs start running wild through the town and once one of the babies gets kill the Queen goes on a rampage.
Queen Crab is nothing more than a classic b-movie creature feature, the story is very basic with genetically mutant animal this time a crab terrorizes a small town, what more do you need for a film like this? don’t go into this expecting to see something breathe taking jut enjoy the fun style of the film. (6/10)
