I recently watched Creep, most notable for staring Franka Potent (man, was Run Lola Run really back in 1998? Crap!). The premise is that there’s some nutty monster running around in the London subways killing and eating people.
It’s heavy on gore, and has plenty of scary tunnel scenes. You know, where the camera is slowly tracking around a bending tunnel — well lit or not — and you’re all like, “shit! in just a millisecond something nasty is going to slide into frame!”
The set design — is that “production design” — is awesome, and the little short on the topic on the DVD is worth watching. The sort of story around it sort of nice, if left too open ended for my myth-loving self. It’s sort of like an urban version of Decent, but with one monster instead of a tribe. Oh, and as Kim said of the monster, “wait, is he wearing pants?”
The flippant disappointment was that they didn’t go with the Radio Head song. I didn’t even catch it playing in the background anywhere.
