phancy.com notes: What if Invasion Of The Body Snatchers was a comedy set in a college town, narrated by the sarcastic conspiracy-theorist drug dealer? Funnier and smarter than it needed to be for low-budget sci-fi horror.

2.5 out of 4 stars - rogerebert.com

Nothing is scarier than drunk idiots. If you've ever been caught up in a holiday-themed pub crawl like takes place near Christmas and St. Patrick's Day, you know how downright terrifying it can be. This truth is one of the foundations of the latest chapter of Hulu's series of original horror films, Into the Dark: Crawlers, which has an '80s vibe but modern things to say about gender roles and believing women. Like a lot of these films, the ideas are often better than the execution, but this one works more than most, anchored by its clever concept and the young performers committed to pulling it off. After all, if aliens took over the drunken morons that turn bars into amateur night on St. Patrick's Day, how long would it take you to notice?
