I Wasn't Sure Crawl 2 Was A Good Idea, But Then I Read The Plot Details And I'm Ready To Gat-or Done

As a horror enthusiast who’s survived more than one jump scare and lived to tell the tale, I must admit that the announcement of “Crawl 2” has sent shivers down my spine. You see, I was there when the original stormed into theaters back in 2019, leaving me drenched in sweat and gasping for breath. So when I heard that Paramount Pictures is planning a sequel, with director Alexandre Aja returning to the helm, I couldn’t help but feel a mix of excitement and trepidation.


If you haven’t noticed, I tend to get quite enthusiastic about things. There are so many exciting movies scheduled for release in 2025, not to mention this year’s lineup which boasts some real gems. So when I heard that Crawl 2 was being made, I wasn’t sure if there would be space in my heart for another film that didn’t seem like a natural continuation. But then I read the plot details and switched from being cautious to getting ready to jump with excitement!

It’s said that Paramount Pictures is actively working on a sequel to Alexandre Aja’s 2019 horror hit, with the director himself set to return for this new project. This news brings a sense of relief, as I recall the significant drop in quality between his remake of The Hills Have Eyes and its subsequent, less-than-wise sequel.

As a lifelong movie enthusiast who has spent countless hours watching and analyzing films, I must say that the casual mention of a 2025 release for this new alligator flick seems to be no random choice. The fact that production is slated to start in the fall suggests a swift pace of development, which could potentially bring this project to theaters within the next year. This excites me immensely, as I’ve been eagerly anticipating the release of Crawl 2 ever since the first movie left me on the edge of my seat.

According to reports, the second installment of Crawl will present a fresh ensemble of actors and a different setting – the potentially perilous streets of New York City.

It seems that in the sequel to “Crawl”, titled “Crawl 2”, they’re planning for the protagonist to travel to New York City, with perhaps a single, relentless alligator taking a massive bite? Given that Quentin Tarantino listed the original “Crawl” as one of his favorite films from 2019, this idea seems even more intriguing.

Could it be that one of our possible characters could employ a flamethrower to safeguard their group, while jokingly commenting on how everyone craves their alligator bites? If you’re a fan of animal-themed horror films that don’t feature sharks, or perhaps ones that do, I’d wager we share similar tastes when it comes to this subject matter.

In case you’ve found yourself reminiscing about the enchantment of the movie ‘Crawl‘, take a look at the unearthed trailer I’ve provided for your viewing pleasure below:

Although I wouldn’t mind seeing the swift follow-up returning to characters Haley (Kaya Scodelario) and Dave Keller (Barry Pepper), it’s challenging to envision how such an adaptation could unfold smoothly. Revisiting the ending of Crawl, I can still sense that tension, as it was skillfully crafted to leave things unresolved – much like a genetically engineered alligator.

It would be unfortunate for the writers of “Crawl 2,” Andrew Deutschman and Jason Pagan, to once again debate whether Crawl’s dog survived or perished. The dog, Sugar, truly deserved to live, and it seems unfair that Florida has a monopoly on gator-grabbing adventures. A fresh, thrilling opportunity for potential dismemberment could be found in none other than New York City!

As a gaming enthusiast, I’ve got to say that the idea behind Crawl 2 is quite intriguing! It seems they’re following in the footsteps of any decent Paramount horror sequel, expanding the terror beyond its original setting and into the bustling streets of Manhattan! Just like how Jason Voorhees made his mark on the Big Apple, it looks like we might be seeing that strategy again, given the sneak peek for Smile 2. If you’re a Tarantino fan or simply a Crawl aficionado and have thoughts on my take, I’d be more than happy to engage in a friendly debate with you!

As someone who has been a die-hard fan of horror movies since my teenage years, I can confidently say that receiving news about “Crawl 2” brings me immense joy and excitement. To truly grasp why this announcement has me so thrilled, let me share a little bit about my journey with horror films.

As a gaming enthusiast, I strongly suggest you consider diving into a Paramount+ subscription (or any other streaming service that offers this film) at your convenience. Trust me, it’s an exhilarating 87 minutes of heart-pounding, nail-biting action that revolves around nature’s relentless predators. If the thought of close-quarter thrills doesn’t appeal to you, then perhaps this isn’t the movie for you. But if you’re up for an adrenaline rush, I guarantee it will be worth your time!
