It&#8217;s a British\/German co-production and has a relatively low budget, although it sports a strong cast lead by Franka Potente (of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt0130827\/\">Run Lola Run<\/a> and the Bourne films) as a woman who heads off into the night to party but falls asleep in the tube at Charing Cross Station. Finding herself locked in, she ends up getting on a train, and then the fun begins.<br \/>\nSomeone or something is stalking her, and after it attacks her own would-be attacker, she enters a subterranean world. The tunnels that she spends her time running through are all set in the &#8220;real world&#8221; &#8211; there doesn&#8217;t appear to be anything supernatural going on, but I&#8217;m bound not to give away the ending (anyway I hate reviews that do).<br \/>\nThere are jumps in the requisite places, and although the last third of the film deteriorates into a run of the mill &#8220;escape from the monster&#8221; routine, there&#8217;s fun to be had.<br \/>\nPotente has done horror before (in <a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt0187696\/\">Anatomie<\/a> and its sequel), and she makes for a tough woman to be chased around underground London. But although I shan&#8217;t say what may or may not be stalking her, when all is revealed, the filmakers&#8217; influence isn&#8217;t hard to fathom. Light and fluffy stuff to while away an hour and a half if like that sort of thing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Creep is a good &#8220;old-fashioned&#8221; horror film.
