10 Horror Movies That Will Make You Hate Nature

Reminding audiences of how ferocious alligators are as well as reinforcing how helpless we as a species are against the weather, Alexandre Aja's horror gem Crawl is two-for-two when it comes to horror films about nature.

With a fierce hurricane approaching, aspiring swimmer Hayley (Kaya Scodelario) takes it upon herself to check on her father (Barry Pepper) at their former family home, which just so happens to be in the hurricane's main path.

But her father isn't all she finds in the home. Alligators have likewise found their way in. And as the worsening weather causes the house to flood, the family find themselves in an increasingly dire situation.

An example a simple premise that's brilliantly executed, Crawl's tension never lets up once the action gets underway. The animals are a constant and formidable threat throughout whose advantage grows with the rising water. The film makes it known they can strike at any time, which only adds to the suspense.

Unlike most survival horrors, Crawl won't have you shouting at the screen in frustration. Hayley is a capable character who makes clever decisions throughout her ordeal. This consequently makes Hayley a more likeable character and stops the action from losing any of its immersion.
