kapelusznik18 ***SPOILERS**** Totally bazaar movie about this creepy Croation hit-man, George Shevtsov,given a job by an sweaty looking Australian bar owner Slim Walding,Paul Holmes,to do in a scuzzy and greasy looking auto mechanic Rusty Sapp,Bob Newman, for welshing on a debt that he owned him. With the job complete and and Rusty having his brains blown out the Croation leaves the murder weapon at the scene of the crime so the police can find it and frame Walding, whom the gun belonged to, for the murder! There's just on problem in all this is that as the Croatian was making his getaway he hit and fatally injured biker Joe Travis,Andy Barclay, wrecking his car and leaving him out in the cold.The Croatian looking for a place to stay for the evening finds this house that waitress Marilyn Burns,Georgina Haig, was living in with her boyfriend who just happened to be Joe Travis the person that the Croatian ran down and left for dead. Desperate to check out of the area before the police arrive the Croatian ties up Marilyn and at the same time goes back to the accident site and murders the brain dead Travis to cover his tracks and leave no witnesses to his crime. There's also Slim after finding out that his gun is missing and the Croatian stole it to use to murder Rusty and as insurance frame him for it. Slim after taking a brake in the action and having a game of "The Crawl" with his other waitress Holly,Lauren Dillon,whom he ends up spanking black & blue then goes to Marilyn place, thinking that his gun was there, only to end up getting axed to death by the Croation who was there waiting for him!****SPOILERS**** The films ends with Marilyn getting the upper hand on the Croatian who's too clumsy and uncoordinated, due to the injury he suffered in his car accident,to finish her off. Off beat movie with long stretches of almost no talking at all as the Croatian bumbles his way through the house after Marilyn slipping and falling in his effort to get and kill her. As for Marilyn she was lucky that the Croatian seemed to have taken a liking to her and let her escape when she was helplessly tied up and ended up doing the wild and crazy guy in. That after the Croatian had so many chances to kill her and let just her slip away from him.

musicreporter-1 Some Hitchcock elements here too. but overplayed.Pause and silence on of the powerful tools in movies but both overdone.And one of the slowest movies I have ever seen,... very little intrigue,...action seems to get started but each time momentum dies off with long boring sequences.So "Crawl" refers to how time crawls in this movie.Do yourself a favor, keep your remote handy and your finger on the fast forward button,...one sure sign of whether a movie is good is if you would like to see it again - this is a definite no.Ram

OJT This little Australian film is a rare hybrid of film that's not easy to place in any category or genre. It builds suspense, but is neither a thriller, a horror, a splatter or a comedy, though it's got elements of all. I found the film an enjoyable and entertaining watch, though no masterpiece. Highly inspired by both Hitchcock and Coens, to which the film pays homages more than once.We right from the starts meet "the Croatian hit-man", which is a quiet guy of few words, as opposed to the rest of the Australians. He does a job effectively, but from there it seems to go wrong.Well acted by all, with a bunch of odd characters in some underdeveloped roles, does keep the film from getting a large fanbase, I guess.The film is oddly slow between the action parts. You think it will bring comedy, when it does not, and you are over and over surprised by what the persons in the film are deciding and doing. I guess a lot of movie viewing is making us expect what to happen next. Director Paul China is a British first time director and does have n interesting style. The film is very well filmed, and very cinematic. No doubt this will be an interesting director to follow for the future.

ihearthorrorfilm This one definitely had scary elements to it but by the end of the movie, I had this weird feeling of being mislead. The whole movie has a very dark comedy feel to it, but it mostly leaves you feeling confused and a little bored. I never really felt the urge to laugh, but I was aware that some stuff was meant to be funny, it just wasn't enough for me to actually laugh. It's still worth watching because there are some definite creepy situations but overall, nothing new that you probably haven't already seen.Please like me on Facebook!
