In the film from director Pierce Berolzheimer, “Mutated by nuclear runoff a horde of murderous horseshoe crabs descend on a sleepy California town causing Prom Night terror. As the deadly crustaceans claw their way through the disbelieving population, it’s up to a ramshackle band of students and police to address the increasingly ginormous crab menace in a love letter to such practical effects horrors as Gremlins and nostalgic Roger Corman classics.

"There is something far worse than being forgotten... and that is to be misunderstood." That's a powerfully true statement. Is it possible to connect with and understand different people through music? That's sort of the premise behind this stop-motion animated short film titled Charlotte, created & directed by filmmaker Zach Dorn. After first premiering at the 2021 Toronto Film Festival last fall, it's now available to watch online below. Forgotten folk singer Lena Black discovers that her fifty-year-old song "Charlotte" has been remade into a hit pop song. Set in the aftermath of the release and the new pop song's massive success, this short explores how the legacy of the song impacts Lena and her family. The film stars the voices of O-Lan Jones (as Lena), Devin Schlatter, Chase Padgett, Phoebe Jane Hart, and Michael Goldfried. This is a much more contemplative film than you might be expecting, focusing more on the words being spoken.

Once upon a time, creature features dominated entertainment.
Pierce McDermott Berolzheimer hopes to find a spot in the hearts of genre fans with creature feature, Crabs!
As director, writer, editor, and producer, Berolzheimer's hands are all over this low-budget indie flick, and he should be proud.
Crabs! offers a lot straight from the features we love, like those from auteur Roger Corman to the plethora of creature flicks that once dominated Syfy's weekend lineup.
Berolzheimer set out to make a movie that is "pure, unbridled fun," and "excessive and over-the-top, but also genuine and heartwarming."
It sure sounds like a tall order, but the filmmaking gods were with him, and Crabs! carries viewers through a small town's mutated Horseshoe Crab invasion until an unlikely hero saves the day.
Crabs! is personal to Berolzheimer. Along with his specific goals, it is also a testament to his uncle's courage while living with muscular dystrophy.

Dollar for dollar, nothing beats a creature feature for entertainment value, and with trashy B-movie fun like this, it’s hard to go wrong. Find a random thing to mutate, throw a load of horny teenagers and a couple of buckets of goo at it, and you’ve got yourself something with selling power. But Crabs! (much like Them! – the exclamation mark is important) and its writer/director Pierre Berolzheimer, don’t stop there, hamming up even the hammiest of set-ups, and eventually taking things far beyond the realms of “so bad it’s good”, into frankly brain-scrambling territory.
“Crabs!” shrieks a mortally injured woman with one eye hanging from its socket, as nothing short of an army of vicious horseshoe crabs swarm the beaches of the Amity-style island of Mendocino. Like little rubber suited roombas, slowly edging closer and closer to a town full of unsuspecting teens, and on Prom night.

Stupid, ridiculous, inept… Amazing! Yes, that’s director Pierce Berolzheimer’s Crabs! in a nutshell.
Feeling like a product of 50s creature-feature B-movies and the output of The Asylum, Crabs! plot is simple: a horde of murderous crab monsters descend on a sleepy coastal town on prom night, and only a ragtag group of outcasts – including Philip McCalister, a wheelchair-bound geek; his girl friend Maddy, who becomes more; her mom and his brother – can save the day. Yes, we’re in cliche-filled territory here but that’s not a bad thing, for Crabs! is actually an on-the-nose satire that plays with the conventions of the genre whilst conforming to them too!
On the surface it may seem like Crabs! is an inept mess but there’s so much going on...
