User Reviews

This Aussie Crawlspace is to shallow.

Crawlspace was an extremely frustrating film to sit through.

For starters I couldn't help feel that Australian director Justin Dix was trying to make an obviously American film. Why?

It blatantly rips off all manner of well known American science-fiction/action films that have gone before, and then relies on cheap tricks and lazy writing to shove the 'story' along,

While the camera work was high quality, and in camera special effects very impressive, the laugh out loud dialog negated these credible efforts time and time again.

The color by numbers plot is insulting to any movie goer, and seemed to follow a genre rules book instead of creating anything of substance.

I am assuming with a blonde leading actress (in tank top naturally) and enough blood and bullets, Justin Dix was hoping we wouldn't notice the lack of depth to the story.

Yes we do like blonde's, bullets, and blood, but the audience still has a brain.

Dix would be best to learn his craft deeply before attempting another film, Crawlspace is simply to shallow.
