What to Know

Critics Consensus

An action-packed creature feature that's fast, terrifying, and benefits greatly from a completely game Kaya Scodelario, Crawl is a fun throw-back with just enough self-awareness to work.

Crawl (2019) | Rotten Tomatoes (1) Christy Lemire FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles) It's really fun, exciting, and does exactly what it needs to do. Oct 2, 2019 Full Review Crawl (2019) | Rotten Tomatoes (2) Clarisse Loughrey Independent (UK) Crawl could really do with some sense and structure to go along with all these earnest emotions. Rated: 2/5 Aug 30, 2019 Full Review Crawl (2019) | Rotten Tomatoes (3) Mark Kermode Kermode & Mayo's Film Review Perfectly good, if disposable, popcorn entertainment... Aug 30, 2019 Full Review Crawl (2019) | Rotten Tomatoes (4) Calum Cooper Source (Scotland) It’s not as much concerned with being a blockbuster as it is with being an encased survival film. But, much like The Shallows, it takes its genre down all creative possibilities, resulting in a tense, yet nonetheless fun disaster flick. Rated: 3/5 Jul 14, 2024 Full Review Crawl (2019) | Rotten Tomatoes (5) Manuel São Bento MSB Reviews With compelling leads and a simple concept, Alexandre Aja delivers an entertaining, suspenseful, claustrophobic, technically creative movie. Finally, someone who knows how to handle a camera, and provide genuinely scary jumpscare sequences! Rated: B+ Jul 24, 2023 Full Review Crawl (2019) | Rotten Tomatoes (6) Kate Boyle InSession Film Crawl is the summer movie I really needed. Rated: B+ Mar 8, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews
