Piranha 3D, not sure why Aja directed this movie (James Cameron connection?) but I thought it was a good, dumb horror movie, which has its place. Horns, meh. And then Crawl, which I really enjoyed. Kind of excited for O2 which I believe is direct to Netflix.
An action-packed creature feature that's fast, terrifying, and benefits greatly from a completely game Kaya Scodelario, Crawl is a fun throw-back with just enough self-awareness to...

Jul 12, 2019 · How could anyone forget 2010’s wildly hilarious gore-fest “Piranha 3D” and its gross-out buffet of dismembered spring-breakers? Don’t anticipate a comparable dose of gory schlock flood in the white-knuckled gator movie“Crawl” from the same director.

Crawl is a snappy, little B-movie that preys on people’s most primal fears and instincts when it comes to surviving against a bigger, deadlier animal. Deftly directed by Alexandre Aja, Crawl is perhaps a more general audience-friendly romp from the horror director than even his gory but giddy remake of Piranha was. It’s often less gruesome than many of Aja’s other films, relying more on building suspense rather than the bloody aftermath -- although that’s not to say there aren’t several gross-out moments (this is a When Animals Attack movie after all).
Turns out Dave is wounded and trapped in the basement of his house along with several gators — and now so is Haley. How they attempt to outwit these predators and survive is the film’s main source of fun and tension. With its man-eating gators, vicious hurricane, destructive flooding, and roving looters, Crawl could just as easily have been called Florida Is Terrible: The Movie. It makes the Keys seem about as appealing a place to be as Jurassic Park does Isla Nubar, regardless of whether it’s a fair depiction of that region. (Sorry, Florida!)
A good chunk of Crawl takes place in the basement or crawlspace of Dave’s home -- which instantly begs for suspension of disbelief as I don’t believe houses in the Florida Keys are known to even have either, but, hey, movies -- and Aja makes sure to milk every inch of that dark, dingy space for maximum nerve-wracking effect. Pipes are the only things keeping Haley and Dave safe from the gators but that doesn’t mean they can stay hidden in there for too long as Dave is already badly wounded, the flood waters are rising, and the house becomes increasingly damaged. Aja masterfully ratchets up the claustrophobia of being trapped in such a seemingly inescapable setting as well as the fear of not knowing what might be lurking around you in the dark or in the water.
As expected, Haley’s swimming skills are put to use in the action and suspense scenes, but her struggles as an athlete also serve as a source of the existing friction and distance between herself and her dad. Their emotional journey isn’t the freshest idea but the solid performances by an invested Scodelario and Pepper help ground this heightened flick in something human and relatable, as formulaic as it may be. And because both Haley and Dave are native Floridians, they’re not exactly unfamiliar with gators, hurricanes, and the like. They’re more prepared than the average horror movie character would be but it speaks to the sheer power of these ancient beasts that even these two such capable protagonists find themselves at death’s door throughout.
Crawl is an ideal midnight movie, something to go see with your friends and get a kick out of thanks to the collective fear and nervous laughs it provokes throughout. The film may not tread much new ground for those already familiar with the likes of Jaws or Lake Placid, but Crawl still packs plenty of thrills and fun. If you’re afraid of ever running into a wild animal then Crawl will make you hope you never do.
Crawl is a fun albeit familiar human vs. beast movie, one that gets plenty of mileage out of its setting and people’s deep-set fear of being eaten. Director Alexandre Aja knows how to craft a suspenseful and scary thrill-ride, although fans of his more gruesome, hardcore horror fare might be surprised at how audience-friendly and mainstream Crawl i...
