IN A NUTSHELL...
The Story: There's something seriously wrong on London Underground, and for once it's nothing to do with the Northern Line. German actor Franke Potente (Run Lola Run) stars in this horror pic, about a mystery killing machine wreaking havoc down in the tube station at midnight (and beyond). Newcomer Christopher Smith directs.
UK Box Office: 拢1.840 million (end of March 2005)
Useless fact: Creep was shot at three disused tube stations: Down Street, Strand, and Aldwych.

THE REVIEWS...
"First-time director-writer Smith has a knack for unsettling moments of late-night observation, and gets plenty of mileage from the setting"听听听(3/5)
"Writer-director Smith shows a willingness to go for broke that makes this film disarmingly entertaining, in an extremely grisly sort of way" (3/5)
"The film opens an unusual and fascinating window on the sewers and bizarre landscape lurking under London"
"Hardcore horror fans might wring some enjoyment from the action, but if you want real Friday night frights look elsewhere" (2/5)
"Creep has some intriguing location work and interesting ideas, but nausea and boredom soon overtake the chills"
"Stronger on shock and disgust than suspense and mystery, it's curiously uninvolving"
"Writer-director Chris Smith's debut feature is notable for its portrayal of subterranean London as a labyrinth of dank passageways"
"The most shocking thing about this horror film is that it becomes pretty tedious pretty quickly"听听听(2/10)
"Wastes its genuinely creepy moments with an ill-advised descent into a malicious, silly slasher flick"
"This film isn't scary. Neither is it terrifying, suspenseful or exciting. It's just liver-shiveringly gross, shocking and pointless" (10%)
