Crawl: The alligator horror movie you didn't know you needed to see
The first reactions are in for the year's most fun horror film.
Paramount Pictures has finally screened Crawl, a film that follows a young woman (played by Kaya Scodelario) who, while trying to save her father (Barry Pepper) during a Category Five hurricane in Florida, finds herself trapped in a flooding house with nothing for company but alligators.
Going by the first reactions to the film that's been produced by Sam Raimi, it seems like cinemagoers are in for a hell of a ride.
Collider called it a “wild summer thrill” that's best watched in a packed cinema, while Moviefone called it the “an ingeniously realised creature feature” and “the horror movie of the summer” (apologies to Midsommar).
You can see the best reactions below.
Secret’s out: #CrawlMovie is the horror movie of the summer, an ingeniously realised creature feature classic full of @AlexandreAja’s patented combination of white knuckle suspense set pieces and gnarly gore. It delivers big time. 🐊 pic.twitter.com/0ca65WSx5i
