Crawl or Die (2014)
9/10
A truly immersive and claustrophobic experience
14 August 2014
Crawl or Die is not your typical Hollywood Action/Horror movie. Yes, there are guns, explosions, and four-letter words, but the slow pace and psychological aspect make it feel more like a Japanese or Korean horror film.

The cinematography is beautiful (especially for such a low budget), and really brings out the feeling of claustrophobia. The creature design, while remnant of the late H.R. Giger's work on Alien, still manages to bring something new to the table. The dialog does get a bit muddy/echoey, but that is to be expected from the location, and I think anything cleaner may actually detract from the immersion.

No, it's not the most original story, but it is done in a new way that is quite enjoyable with the right mindset. If you are looking for boobs, blood, and Bay'splosions, keep looking, but if you want a truly immersive, claustrophobic, and terrifying experience, check out 'Crawl or Die'
