Movie Reviews of Crawlspace (1972)
Movie Review: Cellar Dweller
Summary: 4 Stars
"Crawlspace" is a wonderful film.
It is about an aging childless married couple
living in a rural setting on the outskirts
of a small town who befriend a troubled
transient homeless young man
whom they "allow" to live in a crawl-space
in their basement with the intension
of helping him.
Despite their best efforts and in part due
to the bad behavior of other locals,
the young man is unable to overcome
his psychological problems which appear
to have their root in past betrayal
and abandonment.
This is not a terror/horror movie,
properly speaking.
It is more like a tragedy.
It illuminates the potential of charity to redeem
and the destructive unintended consequences
of the lack of charity.
"Crawlspace" is not a dry psychological study.
It is very entertaining and does have
some tense and scary moments.
The acting and cinematography are very good.
I recommend it.
Summary of Crawlspace (1972)
From the director of Don't Be Afraid of the Dark. This ultra-rare and creepy 1972 made-for-TV tale is a real terror treat. Predating the now classic Bad Ronald (1974) by two years, Crawlspace features a middle-aged couple discovering a young homeless man living in their basement. Their initial fear turns to joy when he proves to be helpful around the house and like the son they never had. But this newfound happiness soon turns to sheer horror when the young man s violent past and appetite to kill surface!Horror DVD Video
