Spider Horror 'Crawlers' Hitting Theaters October 2nd

Crawlers 2026

The walls are crawling with terror.

Synopsis

Crawlers follows Serena, the overworked and overlooked manager of the Paradiso Palms apartment complex, who stumbles upon a mysterious death that initially appears to be the result of a viral outbreak. But the truth proves far more horrifying.

A deadly infestation of venomous spiders begins spreading throughout the building at an alarming rate, and as authorities impose a strict quarantine, sealing everyone inside, the residents are forced into a desperate fight for survival. 

With no escape and the threat multiplying by the second, paranoia and panic take hold as the building becomes a claustrophobic battleground.
