The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

Creep review " Creepy, Cunning yet fairly constant" (7/10)The movie starts in a comforting setting, confusing you as to what is to come. Settings are ideal throughout, to provide a real heir of tension. The music is catchy and rhythmic with a creepy undertone. The characters are well played and the movie benefits from a relatable location, with normality as a baseline. It cleverly builds tension with relationships emphasised at times, yet doesn't let you know enough about the main characters in my opinion. The film leaves space for a sequel with certain unanswered questions. The tension building whilst good, would benefit from additional special effects. In my mind, after the tension is cut, it is never truly reestablished. The scares become repetitive and predictable without any variation except precise location. Whilst you're encouraged to continue watching out of curiosity, this isn't out of fear. Darkness needs to adopt more forms to provide a more satisfying film. The plot is good though as it is well considered. It makes logical sense and is not overextended, with a fairly minimal film duration. With limited characters, and some considerable pauses between dramatic events, the film reaches a level and stays there. It would be great to see something more imaginative than the expected. That said worth a watch and a good movie with some level of uniqueness.

When cinema recounts the 'horror greats' it's unlikely that they'll ever mention 'Creep.' The reason being... it's nothing special. Yet, despite it's 'averageness' I really can't bring myself to hate it. In fact, I'm writing this review after my third viewing of it (or is it fourth?) so it must have something appealing about it! A woman – could be any attractive blonde leading lady – gets trapped on the London Underground for the night and ends up being stalked by the titular 'creep.' And that's about that. Expect running, screaming and generally chasing. I won't go into who or what the 'creep' is, as that's half the fun – I will say that it's never entirely written in stone as to what he is, leaving his origin partly up to the viewers' imagination.Like I say, nothing special, but not a bad 'slasher' film. It does have its flaws. As usual, you'll roll your eyes when the woman does get the upper hand over the creep and yet fails to 'finish him' as we all would when faced with a similar situation. Obviously, she'll often make decisions which will prolong the story, as opposed to doing the sensible thing. But, if you're into your horror movies, you'll be used to the leading lady doing all that and will accept it as simply the way horror films work. The other thing that's worth mentioning is that the leading lady isn't that nice. She's hardly your average 'scream queen.' She can be a complete b*tch when she wants to and it's hard to root for her sometimes. When you're feeling sympathy, it'll probably be for the secondary characters she encounters along the way, namely the 'junkies' who have made the Underground station their home.However, I can't remember the last horror-slasher film that was perfect. This one definitely isn't, but if you're in the mood for something pretty easy to watch and understand, plus with a few good gory moments and you can forgive the obligatory plot holes, then give it a go. It's not too long and won't waste much of your time if you don't enjoy it.

This is a relatively low budget but enjoyable horror from a promising director. The action is set in the London underground which makes for an unusual and grim setting.The acting is more than passable for a low budget film and the monster is suitably creepy. There are plenty of good set pieces and whilst not overly scary it is tense and gory enough to satisfy horror fans. I am surprised at the low rating of this film, I have seen far worse similar films and most people I know who have seen this film enjoyed it. If you like British horror and want something easy to watch then this film won't let you down.

Getting stuck after-hours in the London subways, a woman finds the underground area is the hunting grounds for a deranged, demented killer and must find a way out of the nightmare before falling victim to it's rampage.An incredibly enjoyable, if only slightly flawed, makes this quite an entertaining effort. One of the better efforts here is the absolutely creepy locale used here, as the subway system is effectively milked for all it's worth here as the long, dark corridors, hallways that feature hiding places for the killer to jump out of and really builds up in the film a rather creepy air about it. The action-packed chases are quite fun, from the abandoned train encounter to the platform stalking scene and even the treks through the tunnels inside the darkness all create a thrilling, non-stop pace that moves this one along quite nicely and rarely letting up. While there's not a whole lot of potential victims on display, one of the few minor flaws, there's enough bloodletting to be unleashed that there's a sense of satisfaction for the gore-hounds. While the low body-count is one such flaw, the main one here is the relatively lame killer, who has no back-story and doesn't seem to really offer up much in the way of believable behavior here once the film shifts into the final half which is where it's really lost overall. Otherwise, this one turns out to be quite entertaining.Rated R: Extreme Graphic Language, Graphic Violence, an attempted Rape and drug use.
