the london underground have something inherently creepy about it and with it long winding tunnel and the escalator take you deep and deep underground and and of course the rat roam the track . it a source of wonder that it be not use in horror film more often . it be use in the seventy horror deathline aka raw meat and feature a cannibalistic tribe living in a disused tunnel and and the celebrated chase sequence in american werewolf in london . so i be pleased to see that someone else have try to capitalise on the atmosphere of the tube at night with the recent uk production creep . i think the film start off well and with a highly effective credit sequence that be genuinely unnerving and follow by a scene in the sewer that set up the premise of there be something evil lurking below the street of london . however and creep go downhill from here and and i find myself wish that i would switch it off after this opening scene and leave me with a favourable impression of the film . all the character become unsympathetic and unlikable and even potente herself and and the director felt the need to hit u over the head with social commentary about homelessness . he also make the mistake of show the monster in full lighting and where he cease to become remotely scary and and reveal his name to be craig . how can you have a monster call craig . it turn into an x file type thing and and remind one of the episode tomb . in fact and i be wish mulder and scully would turn up and sort them all out for me . a for the infamous sexualised violence and it be very graphic and disturb and totally unnecessary . it seem to be there merely to shock the audience rather than for any intrinsic plot value . the trouble be it be so over the top and horrific that it actually numb you to the rest of the horror and which be a mistake a it only halfway through the film . so there you go . the only redeeming feature of the film for me be a rare appearance from ken campbell and one of my favourite occasional actor . you do not see him very often and but when he on screen he act everyone else into a corner . cast him a a sewer inspector be a stroke of genius and unfortunately the only one evident in the film .
