FrightFest ’21 Review: A silly case of “CRABS!”
I always enjoy a good nature-amok flick, or even a not-so-great one that’s been done with enthusiasm, so I had a pretty decent time with this one.

Never less than intriguing and often attention-grabbing, it’s also uneven and a little messy in its development.
The Shudder Original blends ghost stories, personal missions, and dark family history.
What gives its frights weight and meaning is the finely tuned relationship between its central parent and maturing child.
It’s consistently absorbing as it plunges deep into a Southern Gothic milieu where you can’t escape the sins of your parents no matter how far you run.
