So the lastest movie we went to see was Crawl, because Gary read that critics likened it to Jaws.
First off, while it's no Jaws, it's also no Annabelle Comes Home. Unlike Annabelle, the "jump scenes" actually made me jump. And there, any resemblance to Jaws ends. Instead of one scary shark, there are multiple alligators. Instead of tensions between three protagonists in Jaws, you just get boring fidelity between two relatives who are already described as similar, so that's dull.
However, if, like me, you think you might like to be prepared if an alligator bites off one of your limbs, this movie is a masterclass in Making Your Own Tourniquet and Setting Your Own Broken Limb (with up-close images of the inside of a broken bone, yum). I enjoyed that part of the movie. And, I also enjoyed the music at the very end.
If, like Gary, you see a dog introduced in a movie about alligators and immediately moan "No, not the dog ..."
======== Spoilers are below ============
[SPOILER] The dog is fine.
Verdict: Not a classic, but it kept me awake.
