REVIEWS
"A disturbing look at OCD (Obsessive-Compulsive
Disorder,
Crawley succeeds in taking viewers into
the mind of someone afflicted a little more seriously
than Jack Nicholson in As Good As It Gets.
Shot in B&W Super-8 and edited on video, the stark
visuals aid in creating a horrific mood. At first I
thought the title was in reference to Aleister Crowley
(Magick in Theory and Practice), but rather,
it is descriptive of the main character's mode of ambulation:
skittering along, afraid to step on any
cracks as he thinks his doing so once broke
his mother's back. Wonderfully off-beat."
-Cashiers du Cinemart
"Crawley is a dark comedy which
draws heavily on
the childhood fears of co-writers Ben Edlund and Eric
Hammer- fears ranging from killer bees to the inevitability
of their parents' spontaneaous combustion."
-Film Threat Magazine
"...A hilarious sketch in which
a deranged mad-man
named Crawley tries to harmonize forces of strange
attraction occurring between food items on his table."
-Dagobert's Revenge
