"Crawl"

☆☆☆

Crawl is a movie about alligators that attack a Florida home during a Category 5 hurricane.

That is what it is about.

If you think that movie sounds good, Crawl will not disappoint you.

It is reasonably well-made, sometimes laughably stupid, and frequently very effective.

If you thought Jaws would have been good if they had cut out all the stuff about the adventure and the boat and the three guys chasing a shark and had just focused on the shark eating people, Crawl is a movie you'll like.  There are a lot of gruesome and gory scenes of people being eaten by alligators.  Those are the scenes people want to see in a movie about alligators attacking a Florida home during a Category 5 hurricane.  Those are the scenes Crawl gives people.

By far the most disturbing thing I saw in Crawl was the number of people who took their children to see it.

Don't take your children to see it.

And if you come out of Crawl saying, "Boy, that was a dumb movie," can I please refer you to the opening sentence of this review/

That is what it is about.

You get what you pay for.  How many movies can you say that about?
