| 5 | 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. |

| 7 | * 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. |
| 8 | ** Not even outside is safe, due to the rest of the gators out there that devour anyone who are unfortunate enough to end up there. |
| 9 | * 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. |
