21. Crawlspace

Crawlspace
David Schmoeller, 1986

A creepy german doctor (Klaus Kinski) rents out rooms to young women, spies on them from the airducts, and eventually kills them.

Crawlspace has a horrendously sleazy premise - it's just too bad the movie doesn't live up to it. It has all of the narrative weaknesses that you'd expect from an exploitation movie with a premise like that - but almost none of the sex and violence. Honestly, I'm not sure how I stayed awake. What's left? Well, there are some interesting deathtraps (that only sort of come into play), and Kinski is always interesting to watch. So not much.

2.5/10
