Watch Creep For Free

Wow! Such a good movie.

It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.

Blistering performances.

The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.

I want to like CREEP; it's my kind of film. A, well, 'creepy' horror film set on and around the London Underground, with a pared-down story, sinister villain and a resourceful heroine fighting against the odds. And yet, by the end, it's turned out to be a disappointing experience, and the reason for that is that it's oh so painfully predictable.Christopher Smith is definitely a better director than he is writer; case in point, I can't fault his direction, which is adequate by genre standards, but what I can fault is his staid waiting. After a mildly atmospheric set up, this turns into the usual dull cat-and-mouse game between heroine and killer, with extraneous characters being messily murdered (and worse) and even a bit of torture porn thrown in to sicken viewers. It's all very familiar and, unfortunately, not at all frightening.It doesn't help that the bad guy is a bit lame, despite the sterling efforts of the ever-menacing Sean Harris. He looks exactly like Smeagol at the opening of THE LORD OF THE RINGS: RETURN OF THE KING, part-way towards becoming Gollum when he was still played by Andy Serkis in extensive makeup. He's a bit of a weirdo, a tragic figure more than anything else. Franka Potente's tough heroine is better, but the supporting actors are wasted (particularly the excellent Ken Campbell, whose skills would have enlivened this greatly).It's worth remembering that this was done before – and much better – in the superior 1970s Brit chiller DEATH LINE, starring Donald Pleasence. What an engaging, atmospheric and, yes, terrifying movie that was! Sadly, despite its interesting setting, Creep is lacklustre by comparison.

Writer / director Christopher Smiths' "Creep" doesn't exactly re-write the book when it comes to this sort of horror entertainment, but it's diverting enough for what it is. It benefits from the excellent atmosphere of its various settings & locations, and Smiths' pacing is quite good throughout. Commendably, the nature of the menace (as well as their appearance) is revealed just a bit at a time, and when it comes to motivation, Smith is content not to over explain things. The gore is enjoyable, what there is of it; apparently a truly uncut version of this is available overseas.Franka Potente of "Run, Lola, Run" fame stars as Kate, a young woman trapped in a subway station when she sleeps just long enough to miss a train. It doesn't take that long for her to realize that something is seriously wrong, when Guy (Jeremy Sheffield), a lecher at her place of employment, is attacked by someone or something. Kate makes the acquaintance of Jimmy (Paul Rattray) and Mandy (Kelly Scott) in her travels (and chases) through the London subway system.Horror fans should find enough here to keep themselves reasonably satisfied. "Creep" can compare fairly well to similarly themed genre fare such as "Deathline" (a.k.a. "Raw Meat") and "End of the Line" as well as a memorable sequence in "An American Werewolf in London". The acting is good from everybody concerned. Also in the cast are Vas Blackwood as George, Ken Campbell as Arthur, Joe Anderson as a male model, Morgan Jones as a night watchman, and Sean Harris as our antagonist who does indeed live up to the word creep. That inhuman shrieking is pretty damn unnerving.All in all, this kills time easily enough, even if it is ultimately too predictable in the end.Seven out of 10.

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.

It was laughable and, for that reason, entertaining. Watch it if you like to make fun of bad horror movies.This movie has potential, a good setting and a seemingly scary monster. But instead the director decided that he wants to make the movie as schizophrenic as possible and then, for laughs, tack on lousy commentary.The movie is centered around an obnoxious German brat, who passes out in the subway after a half shot of vodka, and is trapped inside. She quickly finds out that she isn't alone, but rather she shares the tunnels with several drug addicts, a drug dealer, a monster, and probably a hundred other subway customers who closed their eyes for a couple minutes and got abandoned in the tunnels by clueless subway guards.After the monster kills several of these characters (and in doing so prevents rape), he captures the German bitch and locks her in a cage with the drug dealer. The duo quickly escapes the cages, and run through an abandoned surgery ward...in a subway station...connected to the sewer...? I guess the director figured he would explain the origin of the monster, by throwing a ton of loose ends at the audience. Our dumb heroine and gutless drug dealer, then fight the "monster," and our heroine walks out of the subway tunnels with a dog. The director then slaps the remaining audience in the face with a sad attempt at social commentary.
