this film be a perfect example of the recent crop of horror film that simply be not fully realize . there be two route to take in horror film represent either you do not really explain what go on ( or who the killer be and like in texas chainsaw massacre ) or give the character a lot of back story and characterization so that everything be explain ( halloween could potentially be an example of this ) . unfortunately and creep fails in this area . i see absolutely no reason to give a small shred of the back story for craig without fully capture the essence of his character or his motivation . no character be fully realize and although the circular nature of kate character in the film be the most accomplished part of the story . in the end and this story be mostly unmotivated and none of the performance give it the necessary life to make it enthral or interesting enough to overcome the lack of context and empty film make that drag down the film . this film will go down as another example of a film ( a most be ) that could be so much good even though it would never be great . the only thing that be use properly in the film be the setting represent the character and story and direction and and overall writing would have benefit from a serious face lift . creep do serve a purpose a a mindless and silly horror movie with no intellectual or emotional investment and but sadly and that about it .
