Crawl
If the storm doesn't get you... they will
Directed by Alexandre Aja
Produced by Raimi Productions, Fire Axe Pictures
A claustrophobic creature-horror thriller that traps a father and daughter in a flooded crawlspace with hungry alligators, prioritizing visceral survival tension over reflection.
When a huge hurricane hits her hometown in Florida, Haley ignores evacuation orders to look for her father. After finding him badly wounded, both are trapped by the flood. With virtually no time to escape the storm, they discover that rising water levels are the least of their problems.
