Not quite operating at the same giddy level of psychotronic insanity as 'Troll 2', this pleasingly pulpy, schlock-tastic Filmirage creature feature cheapie remains good for a few beery laffs. Local gal, Josie (Mary Sellers) arrives in her home town from a sojourn in the city, hopeful of rekindling an old flame, finds herself in the maniacal midst of an escalating eco disaster! Due to nuclear waste from a nearby power plant being illegally dumped in the forest, ravenous radioactive crawlers are carnivorously chowing down on the rapidly diminishing local population! Lumbered with wooden performances, spit n' sawdust effects, and a script better suited for compost, as an an out-an-out horror, 'The Crawlers' is pretty weedy, but I still had a pretty good vine! 'Highlights' include another competent score from, Carlo Maria Cordia, and the astonishingly wretched acting by, Vince O'Neil as the Sheriff is amusingly exaggerated by the rather more naturalistic performance from Chester The Dog, and the young lovers 'romantic' waterfall tryst was, like, pretty real.
