The science fiction horror film "Attack of the Crab Monsters," directed by Roger Corman, was released in the United States. It became known for its cheaply made yet entertaining content and innovative use of stock footage.
Finally got to see this in theaters - it's a lovely movie. One of the higher quality family-friendly sci fi movies in a LONG time. The part I liked least about the book was the humor - movie was the same. Which speaks to how good the adaptation was.
This is the best action movie of all time!
