Hurricanes and alligators are things that Floridians grow accustomed to. We know when it's time to evacuate for a storm and we know not to mess with Florida's reptiles.

But now, Paramount Pictures is taking those two things to the next level with a new thriller called "Crawl" and it looks terrifying.

The movie, set in Florida, is about a young woman who's attempting to save her father during a Category Five hurricane when she finds herself trapped in a flooding house and she has to fight for her life against massive, hungry alligators. The movie stars Kaya Scodelario and Barry Pepper.
