British horror film about a socialite trapped in the London subway system, being stalked by "something in the dark."
*** SPOILERS AHEAD ***
This film may might as well be known as "CLICHE" as it follows almost every single one in the B-movie Horror Book, leaving the audience to ask:
* Why does the killer stalk her for 90 minutes, yet kill everyone else on sight? No explanation.
* Why - after stabbing the killer in the face with a heel releasing a big spear that he's holding - does she not pick up said spear and stab the bugger to death?
* Why does she let her friend get skewered through the head while she stands there with a big machete in her hand?
* How come the killer - bone-seeing skinny - struggles to pull a corpse, yet can lift a man up by the head for several seconds and then break his neck in mid-air.
There are many more but these things and clichés are never explained, maybe that was the director's intention? Only he knows. The film lacks originality altogether - except in the scene where a homeless girl gets speared between the legs, only ever seen John Holmes do that!!
Creep plays like an extended version of the train scene in the slightly better "Mimic". We don't care - or know - about any character, hence we prefer everyone to die. The killer has been seen before, a kind of bastard off-spring of Nosferatu, The Reapers from "Blade 2" and the inbreds from "Wrong Turn".
Every year US studios churn out rubbish horrors in the vein of "Creep". This is a British version and boy should we know better! Maybe it should have been called "Crap!". 2/10
