Just how commercial did this film prove.
The Film Council ,who funded this miserable garbage should be stranded, on one of the London Undergrounds disused stations, for allowing this clichéd, dismal specimen to be committed to film, a half mutant thing made up of all the horror movies the director has seen and felt fit to imitate, most notably Deathline.
Amongst its many sins is the quite obvious failure to make the lead character remotely sympathetic until the last minute.
It's a little bit too late then!
Surely all those development executives, at the UK Film Council, could have noticed this at the script stage.
Add to this the terrible acting and the laughable appearance of the creature and you get a prime example of how not to scare.
!!!!!
OF COURSE THERE'S SPOILERS !!!!!
I'm sure this project started off as a screen writing workshop on avoiding clichés in horror movies: Female protagonist - Check Bad things happen to drug takers - Check Heorine knocks out villain - Check Heroine doesn't notice villain recovering unconsciousness - Check Frame the sequence so we see recovered villain creep up behind heroine - Check Unfortunately it seems someone has sent this cliché list to a film studio instead of using it for class .
Dear oh dear if only London transport was as regular as the clichés turning up here .
In fact there's so many clichés and seen it all before moments that no one actually thought about going into detail as to what the eponymous creep is or how long he's been killing people on the underground .
I'm led to believe it's the result of some human experiment and perhaps it's not until that night he decided to take his revenge out on humanity but all this is so vague as to be meaningless Not to be totally negative I doubt very much if the producers thought they'd be making a film that was going to sweep the Oscars that year and there's always a market for horror movies .
Likewise I doubt if it cost too much produce and had one eye on the DVD market rather than cinema distribution and I will state that it's slightly better than 1972's DEATH LINE which also featured a murderous cannibal hiding in the London underground .
it's just that when you think all the clichés have been used up in this film another cliché comes along to raise its ugly head
......
in a horror movie that is.
Alright first off , lets start with Kate.
Her main goals include getting laid by George Clooney, looking good and last but not least screwing everyone over.
Gotta love her.
She had about 3 amazingly good chances to finish off this sicko but .....
instead she ran.
I mean she didn't wanna bring Guy out for 10 minutes and when she did it was too late.
I mean the guy tried to rape her.
I cant get into these movies where the main character is a sad idiot.
I mean who honestly would have any sympathy for a guy who finishes off everyone she has meet in a night.
The movie kept going on.
And as a result lost all its credibility.
Okay I must say that before the revealing of the 'monster.'
saying that he really didn't fit into that category, just some weird thing that had an annoying screech!
And personally I think a granny could have ran away from that thing, but anyway.
I actually was getting into this film, although having the main character a drunk and a heroine addict didn't come as an appeal.
But such scenes as when she runs away from the train, and you can see the figure at the door was kind of creepy, also where the guard had just been killed and the 'monster' put his hand on the screen.
But then disaster stuck form the moment the monster was revealed it just became your average horror, with limited thrills or scares.
Slowly I became more bored, and wanted to shut the thing off.
I like most people have said was rooting for the homeless people to make it, specially the guy, he gave me a few cheap laughs here and there.
I think this film could have really been something special instead it became what every other horror nowadays are!
Just boring and well not worth the money.
if you are looking for a cheap scare here and there, or a mindless gore fest (which is limited, hardly any in fact) by all means give it a go, but for all you serious horror watchers look somewhere else, much better films out there.
Please, be warned: this movie, though a pretty bad storyline, was one of the most gruesome movies I have seen...
EVER.
Just remember that before you settle on your sofa to enjoy the movie.
So, it officially begins with a party.
Just your average party but there's some guy there.
He's pretty into Kate...
if you know what I'm saying.
Memorise his face;
it'll help later.
So anyway Kate goes of to find George Clooney (didn't I say the plot was bad?) and so takes the tube.
That's London underground at the middle of the night, but she's just stupid like that.
So the timetable says the next, and last, train will come in 7 minutes.
Now Kate, dumb party girl that she is, decides that she can have a nap in the spare 7 minutes.
Typically, she misses the train and finds herself locked in the London Underground.
Alone.
Well, almost...
So the movie just carries on from there.
Blood, guts, limbs, even certain parts of the body I shall not mention are slashed and gashed and eventually amputated from the body.
In short, it's a typical horror;
pretty but thick damsel in distress-type women and sick, weird psycho.
Or as the case may have it, Creep.
I'd say give it a go if you're into Saw, Hostel or the Texas Chainsaw Massacre but for the rest of us, Scream with satisfy out horror needs thankyou very much.
This film is a perfect example of the recent crop of horror films that simply are not fully realized.
There are two routes to take in horror films: either you don't really explain what's going on (or who the killer is, like in Texas Chainsaw Massacre) or give the characters a lot of back story and characterization so that everything is explained (Halloween could potentially be an example of this).
Unfortunately, Creep fails in this area.
I see absolutely no reason to give a small shred of the back story for Craig without fully capturing the essence of his character or his motivation.
No character is fully realized, although the circular nature of Kate's character in the film is the most accomplished part of the story.
In the end, this story is mostly unmotivated and none of the performances give it the necessary life to make it enthralling or interesting enough to overcome the lack of context and empty film-making that drag down the film.
This film will go down as another example of a film (as most are) that could be so much better even though it would never be great.
The only thing that was used properly in the film was the setting: the characters, story, direction, and overall writing would have benefited from a serious face lift.
Creep does serve a purpose as a mindless, silly horror movie with no intellectual or emotional investment, but sadly, that's about it...
Basically what we have here is little more than a remake of the hilarious 1970's classic kitsch horror 'Death Line' which ironically was like this cobblers, also partly filmed at the disused Aldwych underground station.
Making good use of the now disused Jubilee Line platforms at Charing Cross as well as the aforementioned Aldwych, this film contains basically the same plot - dodgy murdering mad zombie in the tunnels preying on the lost passengers who have missed the last train - originality is not this film's strong point.
Indeed strong points are sadly lacking.
The gore ranges from the poor to the unnecessarily over gory whilst the sub-Gollum nutter is never really fully explained as seems little more than an under developed plot device.
Franke Polente has little to do with a thin script than run down a lot of tunnels and scream every so often, indeed she was like pretty much everyone else in this film, out-acted by a small dog and a pack of tame rats.
If creepy films set on the London Underground are your bag, or you just want to play 'spot the tube location' them pick this up on DVD when it hits a bargain bin.
If you are looking for classic horror, go and dig up a copy of Death Line (aka Raw Meat).
If you are looking for a quality well written and acted film, you will need to change trains.....
Creep - "Your journey terminates here."
Some very graphic scenes and...
well, yeah, that's about all for this film.
No real plot, no storyline.
No likable characters, well, 'characters' isn't correct considering you don't have a clue who anyone really is.
I mean, they are being chased by some weird looking 'thing' in the sewers (who is this thing?
why is he there?), that's quite scary I guess, but do I really care?
No, I don't.
Why don't I?
Because I don't have a clue who these people are and I don't know if I should want them to live or die.
It's one dimensional and relies upon gore and sound effects to scare you, which it rarely does.
This film lacks any meaning, any purpose.
It feels like I fell asleep and missed out the 45mins of build up.
It jumps right into the action.
Basically, some women and her friends get locked in the London Underground, get chased by a weird creature, then they eventually escape from it.
Creep has its moments which make you jump, the art is good, the location is excellent and the sounds are OK, but that isn't what makes a decent horror film, so unfortunately all that goes to waste.
It's nothing new.
Another predictable modern 'horror', where Kate (the lead 'character') consistently does the stupid "hey, I know you lot sitting at home think I should do the sensible thing in this situation, but, oooh no!
I'm going to do the total opposite because I'm a dumb blond" thing.
I wish they wouldn't do that, it's done so many times, it's boring and gets predictable.
In fact, I'm pretty annoyed the silly woman didn't get stabbed by the, erm, grey alien-looking creature.
"Your journey terminates here" is the films tag line.
Well, Creeps journey terminates only a short while into the film.

Just how commercial did this film prove.
