This movie showcases Chris Smith as a real talent to watch for. A really creepy and gory piece of Gothic nastiness, "Creep" does exactly what it says on the tin; it makes you feel unsettled and the running time flies by thanks to a succession of vicious set-pieces.
Franke Potente is very strong as the anti-heroine of the piece, and despite criticisms that the characters are unsympathetic, in my view that isn't the case. By the end you are really rooting for These characters, especially Jimmy. The monster is suitable unpleasant, and the torture sequence towards the latter end is gloriously uncomfortable to watch.
I loved this film; it is a return to the 1980's visceral school of film-making, which is exactly what Chris Smith intended. A brilliant British horror movie, which deserves to be a massive hit.
