Crawlspace

The opening 5 minutes were perfect, I was surprised how carefully the scenes were written... and then Henry Thomas and Olivia Taylor Dudley entered and I was looking at porn-level acting. I'm not exaggerating, they can't act! Then Jennifer Robertson appeared and she was worse... and then the rest, each one worse than the previous one.

This film could have been good, enjoyable mindless fun, but the actors are beyond anything you would imagine in terms of bad, bad acting.

If they ever make a remake with *real* actors and they even hire a director, I'll watch it. Until then, I'm sorry, it's a hard no.

A pretty unremarkable film, but one that I did see through to the end.

Elliot from E. T is working in a crawl space under a wooden house. Up above him the bad guys are looking for some ill gotten loot.

It seems to have some unintentional slapstick to it, because I laughed a few times although probably for the wrong reasons!

Someone has compared it slightly to Home Alone, but I'd say Harry and Marv were intellectually smarter than the two inept baddies in this!

If you're really stuck for something to watch then give it a go. I'm sure you'll have better ideas of what should be done in certain situations compared to what was actually done.

If you can get through the boring first half hour or so, you might actually get some laughs out of one of the most unintentionally hilarious movies I've ever seen. There are plenty of ridiculous plot points, and some of the most embarrassingly bad acting I've seen in a long time, including one of the worst-acted death scenes in history. Without giving anything away, it occurs near the end of the movie. When I was five years old, I used to play cowboys and indians with my cousins, and I could fake die from a fake gunshot wound more convincingly than this. I'd advise skipping this one, unless you're just looking for something to make fun of.

The film has a good concept, but an epically poorly presented story. Here are some examples, so the main "hero" of the story is under the house and has a cell phone, but he doesn't call for help wtf (he obviously has signal and batteries because he had a missed call from his wife). On the other hand, the villains who are upstairs in the house "like" cannot get to him under the house, the only thing that separates them from the hero of the story are the thin boards on the floor and that's all considering that after the shot in the floor a hole of light was immediately shown which it means that it is rather thin floor, but apparently it is hard to remember to remove wooden floor. Mostly the movie is overcrowded with such scenes and it simply kills the movie completely. I watched it to the end, but it's more of a parody than an action, not a comic parody, ugh, it's hard to explain.

It's a situational thriller with a little boring starter and a fairly boring main character. He's too vanilla, goody two shoes. Which is why I was surprised when the thriller part kicked in, he turned out to be a little... well, a LOT tougher. He fought back the enemies. At first the plot was pretty straight forward. But nearing the end of the movie, there's a pleasant little twist. Not that much, but still pretty good. I mean, at least I didn't expect it at all. And along the thriller scenes, there were some accidental comedic potentials. I don't know if it was intentional or not, but it made the movie so much refreshing than before (it was pretty boring TBH). So over all, I think it's good enough for 6 stars.
