Thank God, there are no human villains in
Crawl. Unlike either of the
Jurassic World movies,
Crawl recognizes the lizard critters at the center of its story is enough to generate tension in a movie, there's no need to bend the plot over backwards so human enemies can also be incorporated into the proceedings. That's just one of many examples of how
Crawl keeps things simple to delightful effect. Director Alexandre Aja, working from a script by Michael & Shawn Rasmussen, fuses together the underwater human-gobbling beasts element of his 2010 feature
Piranha 3D with his 2007 feature
P2's decision to confine its story to just one location to create something that's just so much fun to watch.
