Rob London is a writer at Collider who focuses on horror, science fiction, and obscure and classic movies. He has written for Marvel Comics.
The Big Picture Crawl, the gory gator creature feature that became a sleeper hit in 2019, is coming back for a second bite. Paramount is developing a sequel to the Sam Raimi-produced film. The Hollywood Reporter has the news that Alexandre Aja, who helmed the original, will return for the sequel.
The sequel will follow an entirely new group of characters, and move the action to New York City - likely a reference to the persistent urban legend of alligators living in the city's sewers. NYC is a popular destination for horror sequels, with every ghoul from Jason Voorhees to Ghostface trying to take a bite out of the Big Apple. Director Aja will return to direct and produce, while Andrew Deutschman and Jason Pagan will pen the script.
What Is 'Crawl' About? Close Crawl centers around champion college swimmer Haley Keller returning to her family home in Coral Lake, Florida during a Category 5 to retrieve her estranged father, Dave . While she finds him alive in the house, along with his dog Sugar, soon the home begins to flood...and with the floodwaters comes a pack of enormous, ravenous alligators. The two of them will have to put aside their differences to escape both the hurricane and the savage reptiles.
Rampaging crocodilians have long been a popular subject of horror movies. Tobe Hooper followed up The Texas Chainsaw Massacre with 1976's Eaten Alive, while 1980's Alligator, starring Robert Forster, was a superior representative of the post-Jaws wave of killer creature features. David E.
