Review of Crawl (2019) by Gilberto — 27 Aug 2019
Usually this kind of movies with over the top concepts in combination of animals trying to eat people alive seem to fall under a sort of very bad category where it is blatantly obvious that it is just cash grab.
Most of them are done with very minimal budgets and very poor/stupid storytelling and for the most part they don't even come out to the big screen but go straight to DVDs --So it was kind of interesting to see a project that has some of those over the top concepts, like a hurricane that leads a bunch of extremely aggressive alligators into a house where two people are trapped, and see it done with actual decent effects and very decent performances.
If anything the fact that it came to theaters already had something to say about it, and I must say that for what it is, it is quite entertaining and suspenseful. It is still a bit silly, considering why the two main characters got trapped there in the first place, but their father/daughter relationship is still believable and it carries the movie way up till its end--which comes quite fast I may say because this is a very short movie.
It ends a bit unsatisfactorily, but for what it is worth it was still a decent watch.
