Many celebrities are given the credit on films of all types, but what it means can vary from moral support to marketing or sometimes shepherding whole projects into being
Martin Scorsese, Ian McKellen, Leonardo DiCaprio and John Travolta are among the many A-listers to be named “executive producers” on feature films, documentaries and TV series of all budgets and sizes. But what the credit means, and how involved these figures are in the projects can vary considerably. In many cases, they will be a source of support, advice and guidance for other (often emerging) directors throughout the production process. But they are also increasingly being used for marketing and promotional purposes, sometimes even coming in after the film is made.

It’s entertaining for a while, but soon the insipid decisions taken by everybody involved turn this taut thriller into a sloppy one, where the payoff is nowhere near as exciting as it could have been. The characters are paper thin, and hence most of the actors try to act like stock characters taken from similar movies from the past. But taking the movie for what it is, Crawlspace just might do it for you if you are looking for a little claustrophobic fun.
