Crawlspace

This isn't bad but at times you feel it doesn't know if it wants to be a out and out thriller or a comedy. However, it turns out to be both and is very funny in places and the premise is good, if a little flawed (is there really only one way to get under the house?). The performances are fine, jennifer robertson and Henry Thomas especially and there is a twist I didn't see coming. It's not the greatest film you will ever see but is a perfectly acceptable time passer. The kind of movie you say "that was allright that was" at the end.

If you can get through the boring first half hour or so, you might actually get some laughs out of one of the most unintentionally hilarious movies I've ever seen. There are plenty of ridiculous plot points, and some of the most embarrassingly bad acting I've seen in a long time, including one of the worst-acted death scenes in history. Without giving anything away, it occurs near the end of the movie. When I was five years old, I used to play cowboys and indians with my cousins, and I could fake die from a fake gunshot wound more convincingly than this. I'd advise skipping this one, unless you're just looking for something to make fun of.

Crawlspace had an interesting concept and was nothing that seemed overdone. The biggest problem I did have with this film however was the acting in certain places. It was bad and made parts of the film become flat. Henry Thomas is back to acting. I don't think I've seen him since castle rock and it's good seeing him. I'd even say he was the best thing about this film. He plays a plumber that uses a houses Crawlspace,that is until he witness to men kill another one for cash. That happens to be where Thomas is. What follows is a fight for servival and it's pretty fun to watch after get. Overall not great but this film was still a decent enough watch and was entertaining.

The opening 5 minutes were perfect, I was surprised how carefully the scenes were written... and then Henry Thomas and Olivia Taylor Dudley entered and I was looking at porn-level acting. I'm not exaggerating, they can't act! Then Jennifer Robertson appeared and she was worse... and then the rest, each one worse than the previous one.

This film could have been good, enjoyable mindless fun, but the actors are beyond anything you would imagine in terms of bad, bad acting.

If they ever make a remake with *real* actors and they even hire a director, I'll watch it. Until then, I'm sorry, it's a hard no.

Although the whole idea and premise of the movie was workable and a good idea, the script writers totally screwed the movie over. There is far too many examples of people ignoring common sense, unrealistic police procedures, and a lot or bad acting mostly from the plumber. And it is really bad when a character talks to themselves out of context to extend the plot. The plot twist was ok, but watching this movie made me angry while watching the characters completely ignore common sense.
