The director has indicated the subtext of the film is Kate's search for love — through the film she encounters a number of men, including the killer, but is socially unacceptable for some reason. The film plays with the audiences sympathies for the characters: the heroine Kate comes across as unlikeable at times, whilst the 'evil' characters get moments of sympathy. Subtext is content of a book, play, film or television series which is not announced explicitly by the characters (or author) but is implicit or becomes something understood by the reader / viewer as the production unfolds. ...


Story

Two sewage workers, Arthur and George, discover an unknown tunnel in the sewers beneath London, and we see them attacked by some unknown horror. The film then follows Kate, a popular German student living in London, as she travel between parties. Intending to catch the tube, she falls asleep on the platform at Charing Cross and misses the last train. After finding that the station has been closed for the night, and that she is locked inside, another train pulls onto the platform.

Slight modifications to the famous London Underground roundel indicate the name of each station on platform and some outdoor signs. ... The name Charing Cross, now given to a district of central London in the City of Westminster, comes from the original hamlet of Charing, where King Edward I of England placed a memorial to his wife, Eleanor of Castile. ...


On board she encounters Guy, an unwanted acquaintance from the last party. When he attempts to rape her, something pulls him out of the train's door and brutally attacks him. The film follows Kate's attempt to escape from the underground and the hideous 'Creep' of the title (Sean Harris). Along the way she is helped by a homeless couple, Jimmy and Mandy, who spend their nights sleeping in the station, and by George, who had been captured by the eponymous killer for food.

Classic-Horror Review of Creep (2004) (950 words)
Creep is an admirable and interesting but also flawed entry, ultimately falling somewhere in between Don Coscarelli’s fun flick and second-rate efforts like Jeepers Creepers.
The titular creep is actually revealed in the second reel and Smith jettisons suspense in favor of grue and carnage.
Creep is definitely not going to set the world alight, but it’s a fun way to spend an hour and a half.
The Film Asylum Review - Creep (Franka Potente, Sean Harris) (590 words)
Take one of the most memorable scenes from the classic John Landis movie ‘American Werewolf in London’ and base a whole film around the premise of a killer stalking the tunnels of the London underground, brutally slaying all those unlucky enough to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.
This would be ‘Creep’ then, a German/British combo project which replaces Landis’ wolf for a monstrous humanoid, and instead of the Yorkshire moors as the play ground for our films villain; we instead get the shadowy underworld of twisting tunnels and shafts.
