#46 - Creep
I have stiffness in my wrists that I'm trying to shake out. After this I think it'll be time to pay a quick visit to the cat and the boyfriend.
I picked up this movie for two reasons: because it was British/European-made, and because there was a warning on it for extreme violence and gore. Yeah. Sometimes I'm really easy to please like that.
Kate leaves the London party she's at with the intent of crashing another one with a friend. When she misses her train, however, she thinks she's stuck in the Tube station overnight... until another train pulls into the station. Someone else is on the train as well, however, and soon Kate is running for her life through the London Underground, trying to escape from something that's lived its whole life down there, and needs fresh bodies...
You know what the scariest thing about this movie is? The fact that it could actually happen. Nick tells me that there are literally miles of tunnels and stuff under London, some of it connected to the Underground, where they could have conducted some of the stuff in this movie. And he wouldn't put it past the government at all to do it.
And yes, this movie is gory and violent, particularly with scenes of medical proceedures being performed without anaesthetic and with old, rusty tools and people getting mangled by various implements (including trains).
But it doesn't quite live up to its potential. It leaves too many questions unanswered, which someitmes can be good but in this case is a pain. A degree of closure is needed, and we don't get it. Which is annoying to say the least.
