Nerds That Geek Movie Review: ‘Creep’

Written by Scott Edwards 

With great promises that the future has in store for us, we must remember that we need to continue to move forward. Getting to where you want to be in life is next to impossible, if you do not do anything about the future. Even though it may seem difficult with all of the steps that you need to take, the payoff at the end is always worth it. Don’t let the silly things that happen on the daily get you down, because if you do, you may find yourself stuck in the same place with no chance of escaping.
​
After putting down many drinks at a party, Kate is happy to brag that she has the invite to a star-studded event and she will finally get the chance to meet George Clooney. Making her way to the subway station and being forced to overpay for a ticket, Kate takes another drink and passes out. Waking up to see that the station is empty, she heads towards the exit to find that they have been locked up for the night. Hearing a train coming down the tracks, she jumps aboard to get out of the station, but little does she know where it will take her.

As the train comes to a halt in the middle of a tube, Kate approaches the conductor’s cab and starts banging on the door to find out what is going on. But she is not alone on the train as Guy from the party has been following her and with plenty of cocaine in his system, he is ready to party. Getting Kate on the ground, Guy is ready to have the time of his life, but there is someone else looking for a good time as well. Getting pulled off of the struggling woman, Guy urges his former victim to run to safety before he gets pulled into the darkness once again. Trying to get the attention of anyone that might be in the station, Kate winds up finding a couple living in the station and offers them money if they can help.

Handing over fifty pounds to get her new friends to act as her guide, Jimmy is happy to show her the way. But while the two are on the tracks to get to the station agent, they hear a scream and when returning to the little hole in the wall, Jimmy finds his girl is missing and there is only a trail of blood to follow to find her. Knowing that there is something messed up happening in the subway, Kate has to keep Jimmy focused on their objective of getting help, but little do the two know what awaits them in the subway as someone or something is hunting on this night and the prizes seem to be vast.

I wanted a movie with a little bit of gore, and I found one here. While the story starts off pretty slow, once you see the thing that roams in the shadows making his kills for the night, everything speeds right up. While I may not fully understand the Creep’s character, you get to see many sides to him and what he wants out of life. Kate is great while trying to keep people focused on what they are supposed to be doing and it is a shame to see what happens at the end, because the story points to it early on. With plenty of blood, a killer in the dark, subway tunnels, sewer tunnels, help from unlikely places and a very disturbed killer that needs a shower, this movie really helps put into perspective how mad someone can go if they have been shunned by the world, no matter the reason. Stay Scared.
