Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

The premise of this horror is pretty simple and easy to understand, and they use it wonderfully with the characters. More than likely you will figure out the surprise before the end, though it it is not something I've commonly seen before.That said this movie hinges on it's ending, and delivers a very anti-climatic end. I'm all for a sad, depressing, and or disturbing ending, even if it makes me feel sick and i hate the ending, IF the end fits. This end reminds me of the theatrical end to "Butterfly Effect" vs the director's cut ending, jammed in, simple, stupid, and lack luster compared to the director's cut where your eyes are enormous, jaw hanging slack as every little minor detail finally clicks into place.When the end of any thriller or horror movie makes you say "Oh... OK" that is a failure. THRILL ME! I want to be excited to watch it again and see if i missed anything.

I like that the other reviews on IMDb don't talk too much about the plot, I watched this film tonight and thoroughly enjoyed it, and I was happy to not know too much beforehand. The references to other movies are fair enough, but I think there's a bit of a trend to describe films as "This movie" meets "That movie", and sometimes that's fair enough: but I think this film stands on its own merits.I liked the characters, I liked the plot, I like the pace of the story; I like the idea of the movie; I like the special effects. It's not a splatter movie but it is a fine addition to Antipodean genre films.I would definitely watch a sequel, I can't explain more without giving away spoilers!If you enjoy low-budget genre movies that transcend their financial limitations through darn good film-making, this is well worth a watch.

I just chose this movie because it seemed more like a thriller sci- fi movie than a grotesque horror movie. The beginning of the movie starts right off the bat with action and big things happening, there was certainly no 20-30 start-up scene that lays the whole backstory. Not that this is a bad approach, it is just confusing to figure out what is going on and why each little thing matters towards the end of the movie. There are a couple events in this movie that don't make perfect sense for a while and I think that is why many people call this movie just like "Aliens" or similar to resident evil. Other than the beginning, where they have beeping motion trackers, the movie quickly goes away from seeming like "Aliens". (the movie is called Crawlspace so it is all in tight spaces which "Aliens" does a lot of as well..)There is are a few odd sci-fi aspects to this movie that made me give it a 7, along with it's confusing beginning. But no doubt! this movie rocked. The twists in the plot the come out over time are really entertaining. After watching the movie you start to think about the beginning and now knowing what you just learned, could probably go back and make perfect sense of it all. What the main characters go through the whole time and resolve at the end is just great. This movie proves a lot. You don't need huge budgets and top of the line actors to make a great movie. You can find foreign movies with actors you may not recognize and be thoroughly entertained. This movie is not perfect by any means, but it is a hidden gem that most people will never see.

In 1966 the Australian and U.S. Governments established Pine Gap, a top secret research facility in the remote Australian outback. Fifteen hours ago all contact with the facility was lost, cause unknown. Then there are messages telling that the prisoners have escaped. Three helicopters with a group of elite soldiers are sent to rescue the scientists and eliminate the dangerous prisoners. Commander Romeo (Ditch Davey) leads the team formed by Fourpack (Eddie Baroo), Wiki (Peta Sergeant) and Kid (Fletcher Humphrys) that is mysteriously attacked by strange creatures in the underground. When Romeo meets the amnesic prisoner Eve (Amber Clayton), he protects her compromising their mission. When his team questions who Eve is, Romeo tells that she is his wife that died years ago in Paris. When they find the scientists Darious Caesar (Nicholas Belt), Emily (Ngaire Dawn Fair) and Matthews (Samuel Johnson), they learn that the scientists are developing powerful psychic soldiers in the facility. Who is Eve? Will the soldiers succeed in their assignment?"Crawlspace" is a claustrophobic movie with a promising idea, good acting but poor beginning and conclusion. The story begins without any development, with a group of soldiers breaking in a facility in the outback of Australia. The viewer does not know whether the story happens in the present, past or future; how is the government of this society; and who are the prisoners (criminals, political). The action is reasonable and when Eve opens the body bag and is surprised with her discovery, the viewer never knows who was there (might be the alien in her recollection, but it is not clear). What Romeo did to his wife and why is also confused and not clear. Last but not the least, the conclusion is totally disappointing. My vote is five.Title (Brazil): "Fortaleza Secreta" ("Secret Fortress")
