Excellent, Without a doubt!!

Excellent but underrated film

Brilliant and touching

I just chose this movie because it seemed more like a thriller sci- fi movie than a grotesque horror movie. The beginning of the movie starts right off the bat with action and big things happening, there was certainly no 20-30 start-up scene that lays the whole backstory. Not that this is a bad approach, it is just confusing to figure out what is going on and why each little thing matters towards the end of the movie. There are a couple events in this movie that don't make perfect sense for a while and I think that is why many people call this movie just like "Aliens" or similar to resident evil. Other than the beginning, where they have beeping motion trackers, the movie quickly goes away from seeming like "Aliens". (the movie is called Crawlspace so it is all in tight spaces which "Aliens" does a lot of as well..)There is are a few odd sci-fi aspects to this movie that made me give it a 7, along with it's confusing beginning. But no doubt! this movie rocked. The twists in the plot the come out over time are really entertaining. After watching the movie you start to think about the beginning and now knowing what you just learned, could probably go back and make perfect sense of it all. What the main characters go through the whole time and resolve at the end is just great. This movie proves a lot. You don't need huge budgets and top of the line actors to make a great movie. You can find foreign movies with actors you may not recognize and be thoroughly entertained. This movie is not perfect by any means, but it is a hidden gem that most people will never see.

Science-Fiction flick with a horror taste. Up to an elite squad to go into a research building looking out for survivors and to rescue them but quickly they are into hell. When the commander recognises one of the to be survived ones as his death wife, things go wrong. It can't be possible that his death wife is still alive.Experiments going on under the ground just at the last minutes to reveal what really was going on. The beginning reminded me of Alien, with the creepy spaces and the detector used to find the creatures. But luckily it wasn't a copycat of that legendary flick. For the horror geeks it's not the story itself that will attract them but he effects used. Bodies exploding, being burned alive, exploding bodies. You will have it all here all done by some mystery going on.Gore 1,5/5 Nudity 0/5 Effects 3/5 Story 3/5 Comedy 0/5

I saw this film at the Brussels fantastic film festival 2013 (BIFFF), in a very very late nightly session starting 1 AM. Myself and the rest of the audience was very well awake, however. Something very sinister was going to be shown, having to do with a clandestine research project. We learned all this from the synopsis on the festival website. It also refers to former experience of this director when cooperating in famous productions. We learned also that he formed an "incredible" team of film makers around him to create this Crawlspace.From the very start the tone is set when we see the briefing of a soldier team in an airplane on their way to the research facility in question. Photo's of "prisoners" are shown, with the explicit instruction to shoot them on sight. Implicit suggestion is that the prisoners are the cause that the facility lost contact with the outside world (what else could it be??). I know it is not customary to challenge military orders within a briefing, but this is too easy, too black&white and thus not very believable.The first scene within the facility follows a woman with a brace band showing Eve as her name (with orange pants, hence a "prisoner"). It is made very obvious that she does not recognize that name as her own. She succeeds very well in finding her way in the narrow "facilities" spaces while evading encounters with unknown adversaries (on whose side, we can only guess).The soldiers are divided in three teams when entering the facility. They carry electronic gadgets with plans of the building, and a lot of weaponry including hand grenades (not very appropriate in that environment, but I'm no expert). What seems to be a well coordinated military operation, soon turns into disorder when unexpected things start happening. When one of the teams meet Eve, their leader Romeo suddenly remembers her as his former wife, who was assumed drowned. We viewers are at a loss, as are his colleagues, since Eve's photo was shown during the briefing where he did not recognize her face. This is the first hint that something very peculiar is going on.The story line deteriorates soon after this, when impossible things start happening (like an over-sized gorilla suddenly turning up), combined with testosterone driven actions by the military without a proper plan how these actions can advance their mission. Especially when they encounter some scientists, it seems that who is the fastest in pointing a gun is automatically right and the pointees are automatically wrong. And a lot of yelling, of course, all of that leading us nowhere.I don't think it has any use to condense the story further, since logic is lost from this moment on and a lot of Action (with capital A, no sex) takes over. Many things are going on in subsequent scenes, some of them clarifying the underlying plot but others sowing doubts about any consistent plot. Given all that, I have no firm opinion on casting and acting.All in all, I may assume I was expecting too much, given the synopsis on the festival website. I may stand alone in my negative experience, however, because of some applause coming from the rest of the audience when the credits appeared. Anyway, whatever its faults, it was not a boring experience. Something was happening all the time, thereby giving us no reason to consult our watches. So it may be considered entertainment without pretenses. But the missed chances with the plot that deserved much better treatment, together with a lot of unnecessary illogicalities, make this film into something not suitable for the true SciFi fan.

The blatant copy and paste of other films is not new in Hollywood, but it is a surprise coming from down under Australia where the films are original if nothing else. I entered the cinema with high expectations, I love foreign films, Wolf Creek and Chopper are both brilliant examples of Australia's rawness and obvious talent pool. So I was not only disappointed to find Crawlspace itself was very, very average, but that it Seemed to rip off all of its elements from other American films. It made me question, Is aiming to be a B-grade Michael Bay really a great goal to inspire to? Unfortunately it is a very common process to copy a successful movie and repeat it's formula over and over again, let's face it as long as people keep paying for mediocrity; then directors will keep pumping them out.First time director Justin Dix then, I assume, knows formula and cliché sell well. But when a film comes across as being written quickly and without thought with only the dollar in mind. It shows. While it's understandable debut directors feel the need to play it safe, I'm hoping that emerging filmmakers from other countries strive higher than duplicating America's machine of mediocrity. It is not something we're proud of. It is truly a sad time when other countries are mimicking our crap.
