Is Hollywood running out of ideas? Sometimes, it sure seems that way, given the exorbitant number of reboots and sequels we see hitting the big screen every year.

Do you like eco-horror films? Crawl needs to be on your radar. Directed by the talented Alexandre Aja (High Tension, The Other Side of the Door), the movie will be part disaster movie and part eco-horror. That might sound bizarre at first, but the concept is really intriguing. Add the legendary Sam Raimi on board as a producer, and you can definitely go ahead and sign us up.
Full details on the plot aren’t yet known. The story will focus on a woman trying to rescue her father during a Category 5 hurricane. Unfortunately, she winds up trapped in a flood house with some of the most dangerous sea animals the ocean water around Florida has to offer. Can you imagine trying to simultaneously survive a hurricane and killer crocodiles?

Synopsis: During a hurricane, a young woman finds herself trapped beneath a flooding house, fighting for her life against a pack of savage alligators.
