Alexandre Aja’s Crawl is exactly what you expect it to be. Aja doesn’t strive to take the story seriously and instead he takes a relatively easy-to-understand, straightforward storyline and makes sure to squeeze out every drop of potential and terror out of it to make a satisfying tale of survival and semi-family drama. With a quick-and-easy runtime of only 87 minutes, it understands exactly what it sets out to do: give us the audience a spine-tingling, nail-biting, and stomach-churning dive into an alligator-infested thrill ride that doesn’t let you breathe for a second.
