Crawlspace (1972)


CBS
Directed by John Newland
My rating: 2.5 stars out of 4

A childless elderly couple in a remote country house "adopts" a college dropout who takes shelter in the crawl space under their house. Over time they gain his trust and they have a first meal together on Christmas. He starts doing odd jobs but still prefers living in the crawl space rather than a spare bedroom. He gets harassed by local high schoolers leading to a confrontation in a grocery store. The violence gradually escalates leading to the inevitable tragedy. Bizarre but effective drama with Tom Happer convincing as the wild child/hippie dropout.
