Creep **

UK: Christopher Smith, 2004

Grim British monster movie featuring Franka Potente, an abandoned London Underground station, a creature who looks like Chai from Shenmue, and not much else. Potente does her best with the limp material, but unfortunately writer/director Smith's writing and directing skills are close to non-existant. The look of the film is characterised by grimy, badly framed and focused shots that are hapharzardly thrown up on the screen with little sense of pacing. Ultimately, it wants nothing more than to be a straightforward stalk-and-slash monster movie with loads of tension and some great kills. Unfortunately, though, it provides none of this.

Welcome to the movie checklist!

This section is an archive listing every movie I've seen from January 1 2005 onwards. Films I have already seen are included and will be marked with a (*), but probably won't be reviewed except under special circumstances. I will be including a rating for each film (in stars, out of 5), and hope to be able to include a brief 1-2 paragraph review of each film, although due to time constraints that won't always be possible.
