  SPEAKER_00: Crawlers trader review, the spider nightmare is everywhere.
• 0:05
  SPEAKER_00: Hey everyone, it's Gilbert K here.
• 0:06
  SPEAKER_00: Welcome back to my channel.
• 0:07
  SPEAKER_00: Imagine waking up in the middle of the night because you feel something crawling across your face.
• 0:12
  SPEAKER_00: You turn on the light and nothing is there.
• 0:15
  SPEAKER_00: So you tell yourself, Gilbert, relax.
• 0:17
  SPEAKER_00: It was probably just your imagination.
• 0:20
  SPEAKER_00: Then you look at the wall, there is one spider.
• 0:22
  SPEAKER_00: You look at the ceiling, there are 50.
• 0:24
  SPEAKER_00: You look under the bed, no, don't look under the bed.
• 0:27
  SPEAKER_00: Hey everyone, it's Gilbert K here.
• 0:29
  SPEAKER_00: Welcome back to my channel.
• 0:30
  SPEAKER_00: Today we're talking about the official trailer for crawlers, the new 2026 horror movie directed by Angel Gomez Hernandez and starring Matilda Lotz.
• 0:41
  SPEAKER_00: And let me warn you right now, if you're afraid of spiders, this trailer is not entertainment.
• 0:46
  SPEAKER_00: It's an eviction notice.
• 0:48
  SPEAKER_00: Because after watching this, you may want to leave your apartment, burn your furniture, and personally question every tiny black dot on your wall.
• 0:56
  SPEAKER_00: But is crawlers giving us a fresh horror movie?
• 0:59
  SPEAKER_00: Or is it simply putting thousands of spiders inside the building and hoping we scream?
• 1:04
  SPEAKER_00: Let's break down the trailer.
• 1:06
  SPEAKER_00: Welcome to Paradiso Palms.
• 1:08
  SPEAKER_00: Good luck leaving.
• 1:09
  SPEAKER_00: The story takes place inside an apartment complex called Paradiso Palms.
• 1:14
  SPEAKER_00: That name sounds peaceful, doesn't it?
• 1:16
  SPEAKER_00: Paradiso Palms sounds like a place with a swimming pool, free parking, and a manager who remembers your birthday.
• 1:23
  SPEAKER_00: Instead, the residents gets poisonous spiders, a police quarantine, and possibly the worst building inspection in history.
• 1:30
  SPEAKER_00: Matilda Lotz plays Serena, the overworked and underappreciated manager of the complex.
• 1:36
  SPEAKER_00: After a mysterious death, Serena discovers that deadly spiders are spreading through the building.
• 1:42
  SPEAKER_00: The police place the entire complex under quarantine.
• 1:44
  SPEAKER_00: Nobody can leave.
• 1:46
  SPEAKER_00: The spiders continue to multiply, and Serena may be the only person who can save the residents because she knows the building better than anyone else.
• 1:56
  SPEAKER_00: That is a simple setup, but it works.
• 1:58
  SPEAKER_00: The trailer does not waste much time explaining where every spider came from, what universities studied them, or which secret company accidentally created them.
• 2:08
  SPEAKER_00: It says, here are the spiders.
• 2:10
  SPEAKER_00: You are locked inside.
• 2:12
  SPEAKER_00: Try not to die.
• 2:13
  SPEAKER_00: Thank you very much.
• 2:14
  SPEAKER_00: I understand this signant.
• 2:15
  SPEAKER_00: The trailer knows exactly what scares us, what I like most about this crawler trailer, it's and it understands why spiders make so many people uncomfortable.
• 2:25
  SPEAKER_00: It's not only about being bitten, it's about not knowing where they are.
• 2:29
  SPEAKER_00: A giant monster is easy to find.
• 2:32
  SPEAKER_00: You can see it smashing buildings from several kilometers or miles away.
• 2:36
  SPEAKER_00: A spider, a spider can disappear behind your pillow.
• 2:40
  SPEAKER_00: That is worse.
• 2:41
  SPEAKER_00: The trailer uses the apartment building like a giant box filled with hiding places.
• 2:45
  SPEAKER_00: We see dark rooms, vents, hallways, furniture, ceilings, and small spaces where the danger could be waiting.
• 2:53
  SPEAKER_00: The residents are not trapped in an empty warehouse, they are trapped inside their homes.
• 2:59
  SPEAKER_00: That makes the idea more personal.
• 3:01
  SPEAKER_00: The home is supposed to be the place where you feel safe.
• 3:03
  SPEAKER_00: But in this movie, every room can turn against you.
• 3:07
  SPEAKER_00: Your shower is no longer a shower.
• 3:09
  SPEAKER_00: Your bed is no longer a bed.
• 3:11
  SPEAKER_00: Even putting on your shoes may become a dangerous decision.
• 3:14
  SPEAKER_00: After this movie, nobody is putting on a shoe without shaking it first.
• 3:19
  SPEAKER_00: Not once, not twice, at least seven times.
• 3:23
  SPEAKER_00: The spiders are the stars.
• 3:25
  SPEAKER_00: The trader gives us many different spider scares.
• 3:29
  SPEAKER_00: Some are small, some are larger, some attack quickly, and some appear when the characters and the audience least expect them.
• 3:37
  SPEAKER_00: This is where the movie has a major advantage.
• 3:39
  SPEAKER_00: Spiders do not need a complicated introduction.
• 3:42
  SPEAKER_00: The filmmakers do not need to spend 30 minutes convincing us that they are scary.
• 3:46
  SPEAKER_00: Many people are already uncomfortable before the trailer even begins.
• 3:50
  SPEAKER_00: The movie simply takes that fear and turns the volume all the way up.
• 3:55
  SPEAKER_00: The creatures also seem fast, aggressive, and very difficult to contain.
• 4:00
  SPEAKER_00: Every time the characters think they understand the problem, it appears to become worse.
• 4:05
  SPEAKER_00: One spider becomes several, several become hundreds, and hundreds become, please give me the keys, I'm moving today.
• 4:13
  SPEAKER_00: The trailer also appears willing to have fun with the idea.
• 4:16
  SPEAKER_00: This does not look like a slow, deeply serious film where people sit in dark rooms discussing the meaning of spiders.
• 4:24
  SPEAKER_00: This looks like a fast survival movie that wants the audience to jump, laugh nervously, and yell at the screen.
• 4:31
  SPEAKER_00: And sometimes that's exactly what horror should be.
• 4:34
  SPEAKER_00: Matilda Lotz is a smart choice.
• 4:35
  SPEAKER_00: Matilda Lotz is an interesting choice for Serena because she already knows how to lead a physical and intense genre movie.
• 4:43
  SPEAKER_00: Many horror fans will recognize her from Revenge, where she played a character who went through an extreme fight for survival.
• 4:50
  SPEAKER_00: She also led the 2025 fantasy action movie Red Sungeon.
• 4:54
  SPEAKER_00: In Crawlers, she doesn't appear to be playing a fearless superhero.
• 4:57
  SPEAKER_00: Serena is afraid to.
• 4:59
  SPEAKER_00: That matters because the elite character becomes more interesting when she's not magically prepared for every problem.
• 5:04
  SPEAKER_00: She's a building manager, not a spider hunter.
• 5:07
  SPEAKER_00: Her main advantage is her knowledge of Paradiso palms.
• 5:11
  SPEAKER_00: She knows the doors, the hallways, the rooms, and possibly the building's weaknesses.
• 5:15
  SPEAKER_00: And possibly the building's weaknesses.
• 5:18
  SPEAKER_00: The same job that made people overlook her could now make her the most important person inside the complex.
• 5:25
  SPEAKER_00: I like that idea.
• 5:26
  SPEAKER_00: The person everyone calls when the elevator stops working is now the person they call when spiders take over the building.
• 5:34
  SPEAKER_00: That's definitely outside her job description.
• 5:36
  SPEAKER_00: The cast also includes Greta Salkin, Melina Matthews, William Miller, and Chris Rogers.
• 5:42
  SPEAKER_00: The trailer moves so quickly that we don't learn much about every resident.
• 5:46
  SPEAKER_00: But it gives us enough personalities to create conflict, panic, and probably a few terrible decisions.
• 5:52
  SPEAKER_00: Because every horror movie needs at least one person who says, let's split up.
• 5:58
  SPEAKER_00: And that person should immediately lose the right to vote.
• 6:02
  SPEAKER_00: The director understands horror crawlers, it's directed by Spanish filmmaker Angel Gomez Hernandez, who previously made Don't Listen, also known as Votres, and The Boogeyman, The Origin of the Myth.
• 6:13
  SPEAKER_00: His earlier work shows that he enjoys using familiar places and turning them into something frightening.
• 6:19
  SPEAKER_00: That makes him a good match for this story.
• 6:21
  SPEAKER_00: An apartment building gives him a controlled location, but it also gives him many ways to create tension.
• 6:28
  SPEAKER_00: Residents can be separated by different floors, elevators can stop, stairways can become blocked, power can disappear, help may be standing outside, but the quarantine prevents anyone from escaping.
• 6:40
  SPEAKER_00: The building itself can become part of the trap.
• 6:43
  SPEAKER_00: And there's another interesting name behind the movie.
• 6:45
  SPEAKER_00: Crawlers is the first feature from Badlands, a genre label created through a collaboration involving Scott Strauss and Thunder Roads, Basile Iwanick, and Erika Lee.
• 6:55
  SPEAKER_00: The producers connected to the John Wick franchise.
• 6:58
  SPEAKER_00: Now I'm not expecting the spiders to wear black suits and demand gold coins.
• 7:03
  SPEAKER_00: Although I would absolutely watch that movie.
• 7:06
  SPEAKER_00: But the producing team understands the speed, pressure, and action.
• 7:09
  SPEAKER_00: You can feel some of that energy in this trailer.
• 7:12
  SPEAKER_00: The characters are not simply hiding and waiting, they appear to be running, fighting back, and trying to escape while the situation keeps growing.
• 7:19
  SPEAKER_00: What worked for me, first, I love the setting.
• 7:22
  SPEAKER_00: Keeping the characters inside one apartment complex gives the story a clear identity.
• 7:27
  SPEAKER_00: It's familiar, contained, and easy for the audience to understand.
• 7:31
  SPEAKER_00: Second, the trailer has strong pacing.
• 7:34
  SPEAKER_00: It begins with Mystery, introduces the quarantine, reveals the infestation, and then keeps raising the danger.
• 7:40
  SPEAKER_00: It doesn't feel like a two-minute summary of the entire movie.
• 7:43
  SPEAKER_00: Third, Matilda Lotz looked believable as Serena.
• 7:46
  SPEAKER_00: She brings strength to the role, but she also looks vulnerable enough for us to worry about her.
• 7:52
  SPEAKER_00: I want to see how she goes from an exhausted building manager to the person leading everyone through this nightmare.
• 7:58
  SPEAKER_00: And finally, the movie is not the shame of its main attraction.
• 8:01
  SPEAKER_00: This is a spider movie.
• 8:03
  SPEAKER_00: The trailer gives us spiders.
• 8:05
  SPEAKER_00: A lot of spiders.
• 8:06
  SPEAKER_00: And nobody bought a ticket to crawlers hoping for a quiet story about rent control.
• 8:11
  SPEAKER_00: What concerns me, my biggest concern, is whether the movie can keep escalating without becoming repetitive.
• 8:17
  SPEAKER_00: There are only so many times a spider can jump out of a dark corner before the audience starts expecting it.
• 8:22
  SPEAKER_00: For the full movie to work, we'll need more than creature attacks.
• 8:26
  SPEAKER_00: We need residents we care about, we need different personalities trapped together.
• 8:30
  SPEAKER_00: We need arguments, difficult choices, and surprises that go beyond there's another spider in the room.
• 8:36
  SPEAKER_00: The movie also needs clear rules.
• 8:38
  SPEAKER_00: How deadly are these spiders and how quickly do they multiply?
• 8:43
  SPEAKER_00: Why was the building quarantined instead of evacuated?
• 8:46
  SPEAKER_00: And if the police know people are trapped inside with deadly spiders, why is nobody arriving with enough bug spray to create a weather system?
• 8:55
  SPEAKER_00: The trailer does not need to answer everything.
• 8:57
  SPEAKER_00: That's what the movie is for.
• 8:59
  SPEAKER_00: But the answers need to make sense.
• 9:02
  SPEAKER_00: I hope the digital effects remain convincing during the larger scenes.
• 9:06
  SPEAKER_00: Small spiders hidden in darkness can look terrifying.
• 9:10
  SPEAKER_00: Thousands of computer-created spiders running together can sometimes start looking like a video game.
• 9:15
  SPEAKER_00: The best approach would probably be a mix of suggesting close-up scares, practical work, and digital effects when the story needs a larger infestation.
• 9:24
  SPEAKER_00: Show me enough to scare me, but leave enough unseen to let my imagination make it worse.
• 9:30
  SPEAKER_00: Fun facts The movie was originally developed under the title Anarchid.
• 9:36
  SPEAKER_00: The movie was originally developed.
• 9:37
  SPEAKER_00: Fun facts.
• 9:38
  SPEAKER_00: The movie was originally developed under the title Arknid, which is accurate but sounds like the name of a science textbook.
• 9:44
  SPEAKER_00: Crawlers feel more active and uncomfortable.
• 9:48
  SPEAKER_00: You hear that title immediately check your neck.
• 9:50
  SPEAKER_00: The movie was filmed in Portugal during a five-week shoot in 2024, even though the story appeals to take place in an American apartment complex.
• 9:59
  SPEAKER_00: It was written by Jason Rothwell, whose previous credits include Polar and John Wu's Silent Night.
• 10:05
  SPEAKER_00: And according to early reporting, the official trailer quickly passed 1 million YouTube views and reached around 20 million views across platforms.
• 10:13
  SPEAKER_00: Horror creators also began posting trailer reactions, which suggests that the film's very simple hook is connecting online.
• 10:22
  SPEAKER_00: People may disagree about ghosts, aliens, or cursed dolls, but spiders, spiders bring people together, usually in another room.
• 10:31
  SPEAKER_00: My final take the Crawler's trailer knows what kind of movie it is, and that confidence works in its favor.
• 10:38
  SPEAKER_00: It has a strongly, a simple survivor story, a contained location, and one of the most common fears of the planet.
• 10:45
  SPEAKER_00: This is not trying to invent horror, it's trying to take something small, familiar, and frightening and multiply it until nowhere feels safe.
• 10:53
  SPEAKER_00: The movie looks tense, fast, nasty, and entertaining if it can give its human characters enough personality and avoid repeating the scene, same scare.
• 11:02
  SPEAKER_00: The movie looks tense, fast, nasty, and entertaining if it can give its human characters enough personality and avoid repeating the same scare crawlers could become a very fun theatrical horror experience.
• 11:16
  SPEAKER_00: It's the kind of movie where the entire audience may jump at the same time and then go home suspicious of every corner.
• 11:22
  SPEAKER_00: The trailer does its job.
• 11:24
  SPEAKER_00: It got my attention, it made me uncomfortable, and it reminded me that owning a flamethrower should perhaps be discussed with my insurance company.
• 11:33
  SPEAKER_00: Crawlers is scheduled to arrive in theaters on October 16, 2026.
• 11:37
  SPEAKER_00: Now I want to hear from you.
• 11:38
  SPEAKER_00: Did this trailer scare you?
• 11:40
  SPEAKER_00: Do you think crawlers could become the next great creature horror movie?
• 11:44
  SPEAKER_00: Or did you stop watching the moment the first spider appeared?
• 11:48
  SPEAKER_00: Let me know in the comments below.
• 11:49
  SPEAKER_00: And here's my today's question: what would you rather face inside your apartment?
• 11:53
  SPEAKER_00: One giant spider or 1,000 tiny spiders?
• 11:56
  SPEAKER_00: Choose carefully.
• 11:58
  SPEAKER_00: There's no good answer.
