In the mood for some brooding Australian tension? Of course you are, I mean who wouldn't be? That just as well because on February 25th Arrow Films will be releasing the Australian thriller Crawl, which was written and directed by Paul China. I'm looking forward to it, and will have a review posted up in the next week or so. Want to get your hands on a copy? Thanks to the great folk at Arrow Films I have 3 copies of the Blu-ray to giveaway. Read on for more details about the film, including the trailer and how you can snag yourself a copy.
Claustrophobic
heat and brooding tension seep from the screen in this character-driven chiller
set in an unknown rural Australian town.
Written and directed by Paul
China with his brother Ben China
at the producing helm, Crawl is a slow-burning
home invasion thriller that is absolutely drenched in suspense.
Seedy
bar owner Slim Walding (Paul Holmes) hires a mysterious Croatian hit man
(George Shevtsov) to murder a local garage owner over a shady business deal
gone bad. The crime is carried out by the stone-faced stranger but a planned
double-crossing backfires when pretty barmaid Marilyn Burns (Georgina Haig) suddenly
becomes involved. She is at home looking
forward to the return of sweetheart Travis (Andy Barclay) because she is sure
he is going to propose. But on the dark, single lane road that runs past
Marilyn’s house, the lives of Travis and the killer intersect, and Marilyn’s romantic
evening becomes a struggle for survival when the Croatian psychopath takes her
hostage in her own home.
Crawl
is a nail-bitingly effective study in terror and every perfectly choreographed scene
is permeated with impending dread. China assuredly uses long periods of eerie
silence and the superb Herrmann-esque score by Christopher Gordon to ratchet up the tension almost to breaking
point clearly relishing his power over the audience. Relief comes from the dark
humour surrounding the character of the Croatian hit man with his kindly face but
murderous behaviour, superbly portrayed by George Shevtsov. Crawl is
a fantastic achievement in genre cinema from an exciting new talent.
