A female swimmer attending the University of Florida gets sent by her older sister to check on their father in southern Florida. The catch is there's a Cat 5 hurricane bearing down on where he lives. Upon arriving and being unable to find him she heads into the crawl space searching for him. Shit goes very south from there.
For some reason I thought this was a completely different type of movie. Turns out, it's just a gator film.
By the way, if you haven't gotten it yet, the filmmakers are SUPER clever. See, a ton of Crawl takes place in a crawl space and there are gators, which is the mascot for the University of Florida. *sigh*
It's 90 minutes of people getting eaten, gators acting like human beings with an agenda, a dog being the smartest one in the film, people doing a great job of acting like they're really in danger (the leads do a good job), watching people get critically injured yet act like nothing happened, and so on.
Oh yeah, and there's a fucking Cat 5 hurricane that is barely a factor.
It's dumb. It's not the worst movie ever, but it's just completely devoid of reality. Kudos to the stars for giving it all they have though.
