10 Best Horror Movie Creature Feature Movies Since 2010
5. Crawl
For Haley Keller and her father Dave, last year's Crawl saw them involved in terrifying fight for survival.
While Crawl's beasties of choice were a couple of alligators, the Kellers also found themselves at the mercy of a category 5 hurricane that's causing the local town to dramatically flood. Added to that, the movie also serves as a home invasion tale of sorts - just with alligators being the gnarly perpetrators of said home invasion.
On face value, the premise of Crawl could've been looked at with the same sort of disdain many had for the admittedly-fun Bait - where sharks enter a flooded supermarket - but Alexandre Aja made sure that his 2019 film was deadly serious, was laser focussed on having tension drip from every pore of the picture, and was a genuinely scary proposition for our core characters.
For so often, any film based on an alligator or crocodile would often take place out in some remote jungle or the outback, but Crawl did something a little different to the norm by bringing some of these most intimidating of creatures into suburbia.
