What is it?
Crawl is a horror film from the United States. It follows Haley, an elite swimmer, who has a conflicted relationship with her father Dave. During a massive hurricane, Haley’s sister tells her that she cannot get in contact with her father. Haley, worried about her father, goes against the town's orders of evacuation in order to find her father. She manages to find her father unconscious in the crawlspace of her childhood home. With absolutely no chance of rescue, Haley and Dave have to survive rising waters and marauding alligators in order to escape from the hurricane.
What to expect
A simple, yet effective and tightly-paced horror film that is set in a claustrophobic environment. The realistic and graphic scenes of body horror are likely to seriously shock and disturb younger audiences, especially in combination with the deliberately threatening and danger-filled tone of the film.
Older teenagers and adults are likely to have the experience and critical literacy to place these gory scenes as part of a horror film which lessens the impact for these groups.
