Justin T @RT08580778 2d This is beautifully made, the cinematography, the editing, production design, everything is perfect. The characters are unlikeable but that actually makes it more engaging. Acting is a little wooden outside Franka Potente, lucky she carries it. The monster has more character and depth than the humans and that’s great. Sean Harris is really excellent. It’s visually stunning, the perfect example of films of this time. It’s a simple story and I’m fine with that. The sound design is creative but the music ranges from minimalistic to a little annoying. This is peak 2004 horror along with the Ginger Snaps sequels, The Butterfly Effect (2004) and The Grudge (2004). The druggies are far too coherent which is not believable. Along with Death Line (1972), this is the best horror set on the London Underground. I didn’t get bored, it’s nearly as good as The Descent (2005).

The opening credits already signal a B-movie, raw and unpretentious. Despite its extremely simple plot and limited number of characters, 'Creep' manages to stay interesting and entertaining from start to finish. It is neither frantic nor particularly tense, but it builds a steady rhythm that keeps the viewer engaged. The characters are well written and performed, although none of them stand out from the ensemble. Kate, played by Franka Potente, stands out for her perhaps excessive naivety, which shapes much of the narrative dynamics. The setting and atmosphere are strong points: well-executed and immersive, creating a sense of isolation that reinforces the tension. The mysterious character ends up being more “normal” than the story initially suggested, but this does not weaken the narrative; the film manages to convey background and internal logic, leaving the viewer a minimal space to interpret certain details. The ending, evocative and coherent, is reminiscent in tone of 'Possession', closing the story satisfactorily. In short, 'Creep' is a modest but effective work: a B-movie that works thanks to its atmosphere and coherence, ideal for those who enjoy direct horror without excessive artifices.

See more Raymond C @RT17651982 Aug 1 Creep has an amazing first 50 minutes. Expertly using it's isolated location and delivering several well-done scares. The atmosphere is tense and immersive. However, the protagonist, Kate, is one of the most unlikeable leads I’ve ever seen in a film. It's hard for me to feel emotionally invested to such when I don't like her character. Unfortunately, the film also loses me in the last 35 minutes. Kate begins making stupid decisions and movie shifts into a more overt "torture porn" direction—something I wasn’t expecting based on the earlier tone. There's some clunky writing and the ending ultimately felt cheap and unearned for me. It's a shame too because I was really invested in the setup but Creep just fails to stick the landing.
