Alexandre Aja exploded onto the horror scene 16 years ago with the brilliant French flick High Tension. He then went on to make the gruesome The Hills Have Eyes and the wickedly funny (and gory) Piranha 3D. Well, the man is back with Crawl, a high-concept thriller about a father and daughter trapped in a house with some hungry alligators... during a hurricane! And you know what? It looks pretty damn awesome!

Think Die Hard meets Twister -- only not as good as either -- and you've pretty much nailed The Hurricane Heist. That's right, it's another high-concept action movie from the guy who directed the original The Fast and the Furious and xXx. Make of that what you will. To be honest, I forgot this movie existed until I stumbled across it in my VOD lineup this past weekend. So I watched the trailer on YouTube and decided to give it a go. Seemed like a decent way to kill an evening with a couple of beers in hand.
