Verdict on Crawler

Recap

This horror film centers on a construction crew who accidentally rent a possessed bulldozer. The machine develops a sinister will of its own and starts eliminating the workers, forcing the foreman to desperately try and disable it before everyone is killed and the project is left unfinished.

Best Parts

A killer bulldozer is a surprisingly fun and entertaining concept for a late-night horror movie. It also sparks curiosity about the larger forces at play and what’s really driving the chaos.

Worst Parts

The movie’s attempts at creating suspense sometimes fall flat, not quite generating the fear they intend. There are also odd camera angles, like showing the bulldozer’s perspective as if it had eyes, which don’t quite work. Using different angles could have actually made the bulldozer seem much more frightening.

Final Thoughts – Crawler is a fun late-night horror movie.
