I know that some people are kind of on the fence with this one, but trust me when I say that this really is a fun Creature Feature. 'Crawl' doesn't try to poke fun at itself but is still fun and startling at times. The acting is top-notch and there's plenty of monster violence to quench any Horror fans thirst. So what if it's not the most original film out there, that does not change the fact that this movie has the right amount of tension to keep you hooked.

If your only research before viewing was a glimpse at one trailer, you may be put off by the mid-grade cast and CGI, but this movie takes those elements and runs with them. It wastes no time telling a concise story that leads into the action/horror, which keeps you on the edge of your seat the remaining 95% of the movie. Both of the lead roles play out of their minds and deliver unexpectedly incredible acting that puts you in their shoes.

I've seen nearly every alligator movie you can name. Many of them are debacles and a few are decent at best. This breaks the scale in a wonderful way. Take anyone you care about to see this movie. Despite the R rating, I consider this safe for anyone 13 and older if they can put up with the scares. The movie and the acting are so convincing, you'll have yourself wondering if this very scenario can happen in real life. If you're a Floridian like me, this could be YOUR scenario.

Summation Pros: strong, connected acting (actors work well together), believable story that's easy to follow, keeps the drama at a low

Cons: some cliches, bland small roles

Verdict: a pleasant surprise that'll have you gripping your seat throughout the movie

Crawl was an enjoyable survival/horror romp. The Hurricane disaster element mixed the the alligator horror element is pulled off well and the characters are people you root for to survive (esp the dog). Its a very simple premise which is handled well. Doesn't skimp on the gore either. Its good, bloody, stupid fun if you like horror/suspense/survival type movies you should be entertained for sure.

Absolutely terrifying animal attack movie!! It was suspenseful and intense throughout!! Most of the attack scenes were brutal too!!

I really enjoyed it .The actors were great and so was the simple plot.It kept me interested the whole time.im pretty picky and I definetly enjoyed this one .go watch and you will be pleasantly surprised. It's one that's good to see up close and on the big screen with the surround sound of the theater.I think sitting close to the screen is what made me and even my husband jump at certain scenes ! Side note My favorite actress was the dog Sugar !!!

My first review here...you guys can give it a shot.It was made pretty impressively,from what i saw in the trailer i was not at all interested but after watching it...i was surprised at every nail biting moment in the film.its damn good.

Very suspenseful, not cheesy, well done, zero superheros. I really great rollercoaster ride, which I loved a lot.

Wnet expecting avg terror and horror and came out thinking, wow that was fun. If you like scary thrill rides then this will be awesome for you. The alligators aren't cheesy, the storm is ominous, the characters aren't making completely dumb decisions. The gator attacks are pretty gruesome if you like that. And for God's sakes they aren't in a basement like everyone is complaining about being in florida... they're in a crawlspace under an elevated house. Go see it, you'll enjoy it.

If you loved Aja's "The Hills Have Eyes" remake, then you will surely love this. Instead of mutants, the monsters/villains are alligators. Instead of taking place in a deserted desert area, it takes place in a flooded basement for most of the movie.

Now, for viewers looking for a 100% realistic movie, worth an academy award, look elsewhere. You will dislike it for being what it sets out to be. Horror fans will find what they're looking for though.

Yes everyone has seen a giant creature film before so something in this will remind you of something you have seen. But if you go to see this just to have a good time than the movie delivers on all levels. It has the perfect summertime setting of the tropical storm, and the alligators look great in it. I had an extremely fun time watching this campy gore fest and reminiscing on all the other creature films I watched growing up. I highly recommend checking this out, it's a genuinely fun film.

Heard about how great this movie was and yas.. im in love with all the scene, specially with the Aligator..very cool beast!! it was everybodys nightmare to get trapped in middle of hurricane with them, my heart pounding all the times, the scenes was unpredictable, highy recommended movieeee!!!

Crawl is to this generation what Jaws was to viewers decades ago - with alligators instead of sharks and better special effects. It hit all the points of being scary, it had a decent plot and the characters were well developed. Even the Dog had your heart strings tugging. I've been waiting for some time to see a scary movie that made me jump. This on did it.

This movie has excellent and thrilling scences . Full of high suspense and also full of spirit . A must watch.. I can watch it over and over again , my credits go to the directors and actors.

Will have you on the Edge of your seat!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just seeing this movie with my wife and his daughter. We all appreciate action and visual effect. We subject this movie for all.

So first of all, I love these types of movies. This one was different too. It's freaking alligators in Florida during a hurricane!!! I was very impressed within the first meeting of the alligator by how scary they made it look and sound. And I was on edge for the whole movie.

Yes I will admit there were some predictable parts and even parts that made me laugh but if you have seen any human vs beast movie you know what's gonna happen basically. That doesn't mean it was not entertaining and enjoyable.

Anyway if you want to be one of those "it was stupid and predictable" viewers that hate everything, don't go see this. Just stay home and watch animal planet. But if you want some entertainment, go see Crawl!!!!

In the beginning, there was Jaws. Then came Piranha. Nearly 45 years after the shark movie changed how animal attack movies were made, this new one from the director of Don't Breathe and produced by the man behind the Grudge reboot and of course the original Spider-Man trilogy Sam Raimi fits the bill pretty well. Kaya Scodelario makes her big debut in this film as a young college student from the University of Florida Gators (get it? Gator, Florida) who lives with her single Dad (Barry Pepper) at a home in Florida when a major hurricane hits the coast just like in real life with Barry arriving this weekend as of this review. Along with the hurricane, there are lots of alligators waiting to chomp down on the humans, as well as the family's pet dog. The movie is very good and is worth seeing on the big screen.

It's really intense, scary, and overall fun. Definitely the Jaws of Crocodiles.

We care about the characters and what happens to them. The gators are realistic, and not not exaggerated. The heroine is not helpless and kicks butt. The family dog is reminiscent of Lassie, and we are concerned about her the entire time, baking incessantly in the background. It's scary the way Jurassic Park and Jaws are. I saw this in the theater and was on the edge of my the entire time. People cheered out loud! I loved it so much that I watched it again on DVD! If you are a fan of suspense thrillers, this is a must see!

Ignore the negative reviews. I was bored and had nothing to watch on tv... decided to take a chance. Man, the suspense and cinematography, even the acting was incredible. It will have you holding your breath at more than one moment I promise!!! The set the filmed on must've cost a fortune and the alligators look so real there's no laughing at them. Put yourself in these peoples shoes, or bare feet and you be pulling your legs up off the floor up on your sofa. I loved it.
