King Crab Attack for Film Friday

King Crab Attack is the best short from which to begin another Film Friday. In this short Basile Garaud faces the "evil Raymond Santos" who mistakenly involves himself with genetic mutation at his crab processing plant (Quiet). Thus, there arises a group of large and hungry crustaceans that must be fought to protect the local shoreline. Have a look at this horror comedy that celebrates giantism in many ways.

The synopsis for King Crab Attack here:

"Transgenic giant crabs attack the beaches of Trouville. The evil Raymond Santos, owner of a nearby processing plant, seeks to increase his company’s profitability by mucking about with the genetic structure of ordinary crabs, which proceed to do what all good self-respecting critters do in those circumstances: they grow to an enormous size and go on a rampage of destruction. They are uncontrollable. Basile Garaud, a member of the coastguard, conducts an investigation into the matter" (Quiet).

Writers: Gregoire Sivan and Noemie de Lapparent.
