January is often considered a "dump month" for films of all genres, and February isn't much better. And for horror movies especially, it just doesn't speak well for the movie studios' confidence. Very few people are looking for a good scare that time of year.
Maybe because they're already shivering from the cold, perhaps or maybe it's just that there's no mental association with winter and virtually any form of thrilling excitement. It's more a time of either depression or snowy fun depending on how the weather affects you. Granted, there are occasional successes here, but for every Cloverfield there are six or seven Crawlspaces. Cliché and trite, another good looking film with no substance.
Crawlspace unfortunately offers nothing new to the world of film.
