An Animal Attack Thriller With 84% on Rotten Tomatoes Is Streaming Free (And Jaws Fans Need to Watch It)

by

If you loved *Jaws*, you’ll want to check out a fantastic monster movie now available to stream for free. Since *Jaws* terrified audiences and popularized the creature feature genre in 1975, many filmmakers have tried to create similar thrills with stories about enormous snakes, spiders, worms, and sharks. While not all have succeeded, a 2019 film stands out as a genuinely good addition to the genre-it received positive reviews on Rotten Tomatoes-and now it’s readily available to watch online.

If you enjoy thrilling creature features, you won’t want to miss *Crawl*, the 2019 horror film now available on Tubi, Fox’s free streaming service. Directed by Alexandre Aja, the movie follows a father (Barry Pepper) and daughter (Kaya Scodelario) as they struggle to survive a Category 5 hurricane in Florida – and a terrifying encounter with massive alligators in their home’s crawl space. The cast also includes Morfydd Clark, Ross Anderson, Jose Palma, Colin McFarlane, George Somner, Anson Boon, and Ami Metcalf.

Why You Should Watch Crawl

If you enjoyed *Jaws* or other monster movies, you’ll likely love *Crawl*. Unlike many modern creature features that play for laughs, *Crawl* is a genuinely tense and thrilling survival film. It creates a terrifying atmosphere by trapping the characters – and the audience – in a confined space as they battle alligators and a dangerous flood. Director Aja puts you right in the middle of the action, and combined with relentless thrills, realistic gore, and strong acting, *Crawl* is a gripping experience from beginning to end.

While Alexandre Aja had previously directed horror films, *Crawl* proved to be his most successful. The movie earned $91 million despite costing only $13.5 to $15 million to make – a significantly higher return than his other films like *The Hills Have Eyes*, *Piranha 3D*, and *Horns*. Critics also praised *Crawl*, giving it an 84% rating on Rotten Tomatoes and a “Certified Fresh” label. They described it as a thrilling creature feature with a strong performance from Kaya Scodelario, noting it’s a fun, self-aware throwback to classic horror. Audiences also enjoyed the film, giving it a score of 75%.

Other Horror Movies Now on Tubi

Tubi is a great choice for horror fans with plenty of free movies available. In September 2025, the streaming service added a bunch of scary titles, including almost the entire *Lake Placid* series. If you enjoy supernatural horror, you can now stream movies like the 2013 *Evil Dead*, *Paranormal Activity*, and *Sinister*. Tubi also has a selection of slasher films, such as the 2018 *Halloween*, *I Know What You Did Last Summer*, and *Popeye the Slayer Man*.
