Review: Forget Jaws, ‘Crawl’ Had Me Shook!

When a massive hurricane hits her Florida hometown, Haley (Kaya Scodelario) ignores evacuation orders to search for her missing father (Barry Pepper). Finding him gravely injured in the crawl space of their family home, the two become trapped by quickly encroaching floodwaters. As time runs out to escape the strengthening storm, Haley and her father discover that the rising water level is the least of their fears.

Crawl预告片

好:

我认为最好的事情要做Crawl正是电影中的一切实用性。首先,我们必须谈论电影的设置。佛罗里达州已经使观众相信可能发生重大风暴。不仅如此,鳄鱼在佛罗里达州的概念也不是很远。另外,这部电影还找到了一种以非常令人信服的方式结合许多自然因素的方法。

天气的融合和鳄鱼的恐怖存在使人们从头到尾都产生了一种永无止境的悬念和刺激感。我认为以一种真实的方式将自然元素融合在一起是聪明的,这使角色面对的疯狂恐怖。每当您认为一个障碍都被越过时,就会提出另一个挑战以不断提高赌注。最重要的是,这部电影中角色所面临的令人难以置信的情况并非没有某种风险或回报。对于角色的许多决定,都会产生一些重大后果,并且本身继续依靠这部电影的真实感受。

当然,这部电影的主要吸引力来自鳄鱼,它们也是最有趣的角色。鳄鱼肯定会产生独特的恐怖感,您对它们的了解越多。我感谢这部电影如何花时间教育我们的行为等,因为它强调了给定情况的紧迫感。在一些美好的时刻,鳄鱼的行为正好像他们在野外一样行事。例如,鳄鱼确实确实在等待,并迅速击中他们的猎物。因此,为了这部电影,通过使用这种自然行为,这部电影中的跳跃恐慌非常好。这部电影中没有任何危险被迫被迫,这只会加剧这部电影所传达的寒意。作为额外的奖励,Crawl甚至为鳄鱼提供了非常扎实的动力,因此它们不会只是成为一些随机的情节设备。

The Bad:

I think a minor issue withCrawl正是某些事情在情节内的可预测性。例如,马上,我们被告知主角如何成为运动游泳运动员。当然,这是一个巨大而明显的预示,让我们知道这个故事以她为中心是多么方便。我认为这种预示的水平不会破坏这部电影,但是将此信息传达给观众的确需要比必要的时间要多一些。尤其是当我们可能以更凝结的方式有同样的想法时。

另一个小问题是,有几个moments when the main character, “Haley” (played by Kaya Scodelario) makes some dumb decisions. You’ll know the moments I’m referring to when you see them, but they’re basically those moments that make you roll your eyes, or even yell at the movie screen. I think the reason why this is a bit problematic is because subconsciously, you’re probably thinking that this poor decision making is only in the movie to create a scary scene. That of course works contrary to the practicality that the movie is striving for by trying to make things realistic. Thankfully, they were few and far between, and, for the most part, “Haley” makes up for it by making smarter decisions throughout the film.

最后,我认为这部电影中的戏剧性时刻缺乏他们可能追求的情感回报。这可能是由于许多因素。我认为没有足够的时间来真正与角色联系。我还认为,鉴于这部恐怖电影的期望,在许多场景中建立情感时刻很难。例如,您会有一些场景,父亲和女儿有心脏对话,在我看来,我并不真正在乎,因为对话的时机感觉不正确。如果杀手鳄鱼试图在5类飓风中间吃掉您,那就是您想谈论家人过去的戏剧的时候,那就这样。

The Verdict:

Crawlis a fantastic disaster movie with nerve wrecking gators. I thought that this film had the right formula to really make this horror work. When you combine a natural disaster, scary predators, confined spaces, all through a personal human lens, you have a solid film on your hands. I won’t say thatCrawl会给像Jaws这样的班级电影赚钱,但我完全可以看到Crawlhit on many of the similar factors that made Jaws a hit.

I’ll fully admit that when I saw the trailers forCrawl, I thought this would’ve been a B-movie that would be going straight to streaming platforms in just a week. Thankfully, this wasn’t a “Sharknado meets alligators” type of film, and I had a good time watching it. It really does keep you on the edge of your seat with all the twists and turns and constant danger. I think thatCrawl如果它在Netflix之类的流媒体平台上首次亮相,它将立即受到打击,但是如果您也将其制作成矩阵手表,那么它很容易娱乐。随时退房Crawland have fun with it.
