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?

User Reviews

What I Expected

Crawl was directed by Alexandre Aja and was written by Michael and Shawn Rasmussen. This movie was exactly what I thought it was going to be for the most part, but surpassed my expectations visually. I gave this film a 68/100. What attributed to that was the story itself was a bit of a stretch in my opinion and too many things went wrong...even for a movie. I thought Kaya Scodelario was good as Hayley in this and she really made the movie. A couple of things I also noticed.. 1. The wind didn't blow Kaya Scodelario's hair outside in the hurricane in a couple of scenes. 2. I know this shouldn't have mattered but was the director trying to foreshadow the importance of Gators in Hayley's life by her attending The University of Florida? (This did not impact my score but just a thought.) It did its job by keeping me entertained for a while but it was a little long. Every time you think something went right Hayley or the Dad makes a dumb decision..almost like every character in bad horror films. The CGI was good and the underwater shots were astounding..when people were being attacked the blood was used well and they really sold the injuries. Overall, this film is worth seeing...when it comes to Netflix or TV.
