For those who could use a break from real explosions on the news, the fake ones in “Black Crab” are well-crafted, exciting and mostly harmless.

| Mar 25, 2022

Though its core concept is executed well, Black Crab’s dour tone, shallow writing and derivative plot-beats make for a movie experience that leaves you as cold as the ice its characters are forced to skate on.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Mar 19, 2022

Black Crab is more than sufficiently gripping to make you want to see it through.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Mar 18, 2022

There are no surprises in store, just a one-note thriller that never wavers in its commitment to a gloomy but extremely vague dystopia. It makes for a serviceable but forgettable experience.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Mar 18, 2022

A pacifist parable taking a brave stand against nothing, totally removed from the sociocultural landscape of today’s Sweden, it sounds out like one of Caroline’s screams into the howling Scandinavian wind – impassioned, futile, heard by no one.
