* Pretty much the entire movie runs on nightmare fuel if you're scared of alligators Yes, there have been plenty of killer alligator movies in the past, but many of them choose not to take themselves seriously. Supersizing the gators and going over the top with the deaths, just qualities that push said movies into SoBadItsGood or {{Main/Narm}} territory. The movie discards the camp and goes for how utterly grisly an actual gator attack would be like. The deaths are grisly, but there's a reason for that. The alligators are defending their nest. Not only that, trapped in a crawl space with two gators, as the space is slowly but surely filling with water.

You'd think this was another campy alligator movie? You're sorely mistaken. ''Crawl'' is an exception to that rule. Especially with talents like Alexandre Aja and Sam Raimi.

* Deputy Pete's gruesome death scene where he gets absolutely swarmed by the gators and then ripped apart limb from limb. The worst part? He only dies when he gets his head ripped off.
* The attack on the looters, notably the way one is attacked in the boat and after a drawn-out struggle, dragged out by her leg, or how the one inside the gas station sees an alligator coming at him from behind in the mirror.
