Attack of the Crab Monsters, 1957, 2nd watch (B+)
After watching many more movies after the first time I watch this one, I enjoy the nonsense and corniness of it a lot more. The crab is fantastic, and the rushed ending just add to the charm.
The Mummy's Hand, 1940 (B-)
Two guys enlist a magician and, unwillingly, his daughter to find the tomb of an old Egyptian queen.
This is a very unremarkable film. The comedy is so typical that you can quote it verbatim in a modern parody of how bad it was, the mummy is just a guy in a mummy suit, but looking for juice. The sets are cheap and there's a clear lack of attention to details everywhere. The most interesting part I found was the few things the Brandon Fraser Mummy movie took from this one as inspiration. It's not a bad movie, but there's no reason to recommend it.
