Storyline

Against all logic, the competitive swimmer, Haley, drives into the mouth of a furiously destructive Category 5 hurricane on a collision course with her hometown of Florida, to check in on her estranged father, Dave. There, in their weather-beaten house amid a rapidly sinking and alligator-infested town, Haley and her father find themselves trapped in the labyrinthine mess of their flooded crawl space, where a merciless pair of six-metre predators is silently stalking them. Now--as Haley and Dave are gasping for air in the claustrophobic basement--only their will to survive can help them stand a chance against the scaly adversaries' powerful jaws. Can they escape without getting eaten alive?

Goofs

When Haley and her father are outside after escaping the crawl space, Haley's hair isn't blown by the wind - even though it's a category 5 hurricane that is almost toppling trees.

Quotes

Haley: [to an alligator] Come on you son of a bitch!

---

Crazy Credits

Right after the last shot of the movie, as the credits begin, Bill Haley's "See You Later Alligator" plays - a wacky, upbeat 1950s rock song that is wildly out of place with the tone of the film.

User Reviews

Fast fun movie

It's a little fun movie with some good jump scares here and there. Didn't know alligators could be this scary. It's a short movie and the actors did a pretty good job. If you're looking for something fun to watch, Crawl might please you.
