There are horror movies that are scary and there are horror movies that are disturbing; this is the disturbing kind.
Kate (Franka Potente, best known for "Bourne: Identity") was on her way to a party when she dozed off in the subway station. She woke up to find the place locked up and there was no way out. It wasn't long before she was on the run from a deformed killer.
"Creep" was dark, claustrophobic, and unsettling. Firstly, she's stuck underground amongst miles of tunnels with no way out which is already a frightening thought. Secondly, it's dark, dank, and filthy. Thirdly, there's a psychotic killer after her. The whole movie was hair-raising.
There were a couple of scary movie tropes I could've done without.
1. They made the killer super strong. In this case it didn't add up because he was an emaciated deformity and they weren't consistent with his strength. One scene he's lifting a guy up by his head to kill him and in another scene he's struggling to carry a dead body.
2. Not killing the villain at the first opportunity. In order to save George (Vas Blackwood, best known for "Snatch"), another captive, Kate stabbed the killer in the eye with her high heel shoe. Great move. Instead of the two of them killing him, or even putting him in one of the cages, they ran. Running wasn't the best option because they didn't know where they were going and predictably he caught up to them again.
I still like the movie as far as scary movies go. This was a gory slasher along the lines of "Hostel" that set out to turn your stomach, and it did that.
