Review of Crawl (2019) by Trineo99 — 23 Jul 2019

First of all, the suspense in this film is top-notch and was used effectively. For a majority of the film, you follow Haley and her dad in a crawl space and if you’ve ever been in one you know it’s a small space and despite the small space a lot of stuff goes down.

There is very little to no music throughout the entire film which helps keep the viewer on the edge of their seat the entire time. Neither the characters or the audience know where the gators are at any time and it causes for some scenes where people get scared.

The acting in this film done by the two leads was well done. Both Kaya Scodelario and Barry Pepper did fantastic jobs with their characters and made them feel like real-life people that you want to see survive till the end.

They seem like an actual father-daughter relationship with the ups and downs that come with it. I also just want to say that Haley is a badass and super resourceful. She isn’t afraid to do anything if it means both she and her father will live.

But this is where you need to turn off your brain for the film because some logic isn’t followed. In the film, you can see here getting hurt from the gator but no repercussions. With her dad, you seem him hurt and having a hard time to walk but with her, she just shrugs it off and walks just fine.

I’m sorry but yeah no you should be limping and or dead cause both of them would have died from blood loss just saying. Also, in my opinion, this film would have worked better as a short film because at times it felt like it was dragging on because they need to make it a full-length feature film.

In the end, Crawl actually isn’t that bad and worth watching at a cheap price. I give Crawl a 7.5/10.
