| Review Summary and Plot Commentary about Crawlspace |
|---|
CRAWLSPACE is a Charles Band production written and directed by David Schmoeller in 1986.
Klaus Kinski runs a boarding house for women whom he chooses carefully for their youth and beauty. Like a rat, Kinski uses to crawl along secret passage-ways hidden in the walls in order to observe his future victims. The poor girls are one by one the victims of the mad german doctor.
One of the last performances of Klaus Kinski whose presence alone saves the picture.
--Daniel Staebler, Resident Scholar
