Originally "King Crabs Attack!" started off as a college assignment produced by Grégoire Sivan at La Fémis in Paris. Sivan's little fake movie trailer was so good, that the film maker decided to expand it into a seven minute short film, which is now scheduled to appear at several movie festivals around Europe.
Sivan seems to have drawn inspiration from Roger Corman's 1957 film, "Attack of the Crab Monsters", Nathan Juran's 1957 film, "Attack of the 50 ft Woman", and just about every Godzilla, and Godzilla-like, monster movie ever produced.
Since the movie is in French, and just about everything written about it is in French, Robert Hood from Undead Backbrain was able to come up with a very loose translation of the film's plot:
Trouville-sur-Mer, a Lower Normandy resort, is an uneventful place. However, Basile, of the Coast Guard, has witnessed many strange events. Are they simple coincidence? Not for Basile. King Crab Attack! is the trailer for this disaster movie. Release is as yet undetermined.
From the trailer I was able to put together that the film is about a bunch of giant king crabs that invade a coastal French town and are thwarted by a scientist who grows to giant size to combat them, and impress his blond girl-friend.
Anyway, the trailer is prety impressive so "King Crabs Attack!" could be a lot of fun.
Note: The film goes by several different title variations, "King Crab Attack!", “King Crab Attacks!” and "King Crabs Attack!". What, no "King Crabs Attacks!"?
