Crawlspace (2016)
Wildly unoriginal, with a twist that somehow makes it worse
This movie starts out with just about every cliche you could think of. Seemingly haunted house, and a creepy locksmith guy. The only thing that got me to the twist was just how played out the plot was. The good news is that there is a twist. The bad news is that the twist is done in such a laughably bad way.
The twist creates so many plot holes. The worst scene for me, is when the missing boyfriend gets shot by the police. The policeman enters the attic and says "is anywhere there?" so the boyfriend comes running out screaming like a damn madman and gets shot. The only explanation is that he had been passed out right up until that moment. If he had been conscious, he would have seen the father and the attic person fighting, just sitting there. Otherwise, why not help in the fight? or run away? why wait until there is a cop then run up to him waving your arms around "arrrrrgh".
This whole movie was terrible. I actually created this account just to vent on how awful this was. I will now list some things that were just terrible.
-the house was on fire for a while but at the end they seemed to show the house normal as if they were hoping for a sequel
-the locksmith guy was pretty much pointless
-the malnourished attic dweller has superhuman strength(only when he is pulling bodies from a rope. but NOT when wrestling with someone face to face.. then he is just slightly stronger than the dad and slightly stronger than the daughter)
-the girl gets roofied and ends up in her bed for no reason
-the police just leave after they find the guy. don't investigate whatsoever just say "this happens more than you think. well we are going to go now dont worry you're safe. People hardly ever get murdered after we do a 2 second sweep of the attic" are you going to check for maybe you know dead bodies or evidence. "nope"
-the boyfriends parents dont seem to care he never comes back
-drywall is super easy to break and would be very easy to get her out of the wall
-so much startled screaming with no running
-"i see him in the reflection in a vulnerable position. Lets wait until hes out of sight to go get help"
-im taking this from another reviewer but while being pulled backwards with her hands on doorknob she somehow closes the door.
-walls arent made like that, as well as floors.
Overall bad job by everyone.
