After some early hype, Paramount Pictures has just released the trailer for Alexandre Aja‘s (High Tension, The Hills Have Eyes, Piranha 3D) thriller Crawl, wherein Kaya Scodelario finds herself trapped inside a flooded house during a massive hurricane… a house that has become filled with both water and deadly alligators!
The trailer looks like several great movies from the past, mixing elements of Rogue and Burning Bright – in which a Tiger is trapped in a house during a Hurricane – with that of Into the Deep, Bait, Open Water, The Shallows, and many others.
In Crawl…
When a massive hurricane hits her Florida hometown, Haley (Kaya Scodelario) ignores evacuation orders to search for her missing father (Barry Pepper). Finding him gravely injured in the crawl space of their family home, the two become trapped by quickly encroaching floodwaters. As time runs out to escape the strengthening storm, Haley and her father discover that the rising water level is the least of their fears.
Produced by Sam Raimi, Crawl arrives on July 12.
