A special forces unit is sent to Pine Gap, Australia's top-secret underground military base. As the troops infiltrate the compound, they come under attack by unknown forces.

Takes the premise in some unexpected directions, though also makes you wish you could have seen a film based on that inherent potential of the setup.

Rated: 3/5

We Got This Covered

Dix's film is a handful of genres all mushed together like different colored Play-Doh in the palm of a pre-schooler - in other words, a sloppy mess.

Rated: 4/10

It's B-movie expertise and genre inventiveness that's always interesting to watch, working where many filmmakers have failed.

Rated: B+

Telepathic warfare, futuristic research labs, an alien-like scenario... All this sounds good, but you can't do it well with no money. I can appreciate well done low budget movies, but this failed horribly.

It was an ok B sci fi movie. Too many ideas from other movies all thrown together in weird ways. Take Resident Evil, add Aliens, throw in some... you get the idea.

Pretty cool little horror/sci-fi. Doesn't break any conventions, but it's impressive for what they pulled off with the resources available.

Drops a Wilhelm scream in the opening ten minutes. If I'm being honest, I didn't love Crawlspace. I'm pretty on board for Australian genre film, particularly work involving Executive Producer Greg McLean, so I would have thought it wouldn't be too hard to get me to love Crawlspace, but I just didn't. I do however, think that there was potential in the piece to have made an absolutely brilliant television series, as opposed to a film. The setting itself may not have translated so well (it takes place almost entirely in a single, confined underground facility) but the story, the world of Crawlspace was begging for expansion, and I think a foray in to the long-format of televised storytelling would have served that expansion well. As it stands, Crawlspace is "Just okay" with enough nifty shenanigans on screen to keep you engage, but not enough follow through as a whole to have you walk away feeling satisfied.

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars
