Crawl [Includes Digital Copy] [Blu-ray/DVD] [2019]

Back in the fifties we loved creature features. Giant Spiders! Giant Bees! Giant piles of goo! They were awesome. We never gave up our love of those creature features, but technology really helped catch up to make us even more scared (although...to be honest...that giant tarantula in the 1950s Tarantula movie was plenty scary without CGI...lol..). Movies are so many things to so many people, and often the same person can want different things from movies on different days. That's ok, after all diversifying one's portfolio leads to greater riches and - metaphorically - changing up movie genres as a viewer just helps us discover the magic of the movies all that much more. So...creature features. Kinda trashy, disposable entertainment and - like its cousin the Disaster flick - we go into it looking for the creatures to eat (or at least chew and spit out) as many humans as possible. If they do that, and they scare us a bit along the way, than mission accomplished! Crawl does that. It's a short flick that doesn't waste time getting to the point that it knows its viewers want to see. Mean, giant alligators chomping on humans left, right and center. Take that humans! You're gator chow! It remembers its roots as a horror film and is a bit more intense and scary than some of your other creature features over the years (Anaconda...I'm looking at you...still love ya though). Crawl is for alligators kinda like Jaws was for sharks - it is a legitimate threat. After Jaws we got such awesome shark flicks as...sharknado, 47 meters down, the Meg, etc. Of course Jaws pretty much started the bad shark movie trend with Jaws 3-D and the roaring shark masterpiece that is Jaws the Revenge. Alligators got such fine works of cinematic art like...Lake Placid. This movie is NOT Lake Placid and it is NOT Jaws. But it's closer to the latter (good thing) than the former. It isn't a masterpiece of pacing and character building like Jaws, but it is a great creature feature with some decent, legit scares (even at home) and not appropriate for younger kids (yah kids, shoo...go watch Dora the Explorer by Michael Bay...heh heh heh). If you like mean creatures chomping deserving humans...highly recommended. If you don't...well...still highly recommended! LOL

What a surprise movie! Great little monster movie set with real monsters. Barry Pepper gives a standard performance but is fun to watch. The real star is the gators of course. Looks good on blu and turn the sound up on your theater system!

This movie made hurricanes and alligators feel and look more scarier than ever! There was a scene that was actually kind of fun because these people deserved it! Seeing actor Barry pepper pop up acting once again was great. The other actors also did a great job!

It doesn't take itself too seriously - though that's not to say it's a comedy - and therefore it's easy to watch. Basic premise: Dad and daughter trapped under a house in a flood with some alligators!...that's it. Give it a go, you'll enjoy it!

this is a solid and fun little horror movie. while it won’t blow your mind, it is captivating and entertaining while also being lean and mean.

Edge of your seat thriller. Lots of jump scares with extreme action.

great movie, interesting and surprised when you find out what its about
