He’ll be working from a script by Kalen Egan and Travis Sentell.
Described as a riff on the small-town monster movie with a twist of Texas noir horror, The Crawlers is set in the late 1960s and follows a young government land-surveyor as he wanders off course into Boyle, Texas. After interacting with some of the strange, secretive residents, he follows a trail of disturbing rumors and unearths the town’s terrifying history, discovering that the townspeople aren’t the only residents of Boyle.
The original short story was published in the 1950s.
