When a massive hurricane hits her Florida town, young Haley ignores the evacuation orders to search for her missing father, Dave. After finding him gravely injured in their family home, the two of them become trapped by the rapidly encroaching floodwaters. With the storm strengthening, Haley and Dave discover an even greater threat than the rising water level -- a relentless attack from a pack of gigantic alligators.

Critics Consensus

An action-packed creature feature that's fast, terrifying, and benefits greatly from a completely game Kaya Scodelario, Crawl is a fun throw-back with just enough self-awareness to work.

Crawl could really do with some sense and structure to go along with all these earnest emotions.

7/10

Overall it’s a really well written and executed creature feature that maintains tension, has the proper amount of ridiculous action, and doesn’t overstay its welcome.

3/5

It’s not as much concerned with being a blockbuster as it is with being an encased survival film. But, much like The Shallows, it takes its genre down all creative possibilities, resulting in a tense, yet nonetheless fun disaster flick.

B+

With compelling leads and a simple concept, Alexandre Aja delivers an entertaining, suspenseful, claustrophobic, technically creative movie. Finally, someone who knows how to handle a camera, and provide genuinely scary jumpscare sequences!

It delivers on all fronts, exciting and to the point. It’s the Gainesville, Florida equivalent of Cameron’s Aliens.
