Back in October word dropped that IFC Midnight landed U.S. distribution rights to CRAWLSPACE, Justin Dix’s sci-fi thriller. At the time, all we knew of was a native release for the Aussie effort, but now, we have an exact date for when the shite will land here in the states…

CRAWLSPACE will be available in select theaters, on IFC Midnight Cable VOD & Digital Outlets (SundanceNOW, iTunes, Amazon Streaming, XBOX Zune, Playstation Unlimited) on Friday, January 4, 2013. Check it, that’s just two weeks from tomorrow!

Starring Peta Sergeant, Nicholas Bell, David Whiteley, Amber Clayton (below) and Eddie Baroo:

Deep in the heart of the unforgiving Australian desert lies Pine Gap, a top-secret government facility operated by the United States military. When the base comes under attack from unknown forces, an elite team is sent in to extract the military scientists. They encounter a beautiful young woman with no memory of how she came to be in the base, and find it overrun by disturbed patients from the base’s medical sector.

But as the squad delves deeper it becomes clear that there is something far more sinister – and far more dangerous – going on at Pine Gap. A taut thriller that recalls the best classic sci-fi action films, Crawlspace is the feature debut of Justin Dix – an award winning special effects supervisor who has worked with George Lucas and Roger Donaldson.

Mark it off, CRAWLSPACE cracks open January 4th.
