SupraStar 3000 Posted July 31, 2005 Share Posted July 31, 2005 Just watched it by myself and really thought it was entertaining The sets, atmosphere and effects looked great but the storyline seemed alittle weak. Whats the link between the 'freak' and the hospital. also made me jump quite a few times. :cry: 8/10 - Great for a quick scare NB: between this film and those fookin suicide bombers i'm NEVER going on the underground again.

terribleturner Posted July 31, 2005 Share Posted July 31, 2005 Was gonna watch this tonight but couldn't remember if we'd seen it and so ended up with some slow arse rubbish called the Bogeyman. May try and get it tomorrow after such a good recommendation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MR.B Posted July 31, 2005 Share Posted July 31, 2005 Whats the link between the 'freak' and the hospital. I thought the freak's father was one of the doctors or something? Or am I thinking of another film. But yeah I really enjoyed it too, I thought it was really well done and very entertaining. Is Boogeyman no good then James? I was looking at getting that one too.

terribleturner Posted July 31, 2005 Share Posted July 31, 2005 Is Boogeyman no good then James? I was looking at getting that one too. It just didn't hold my intrest. Not a bad story i guess and quite scary just to slow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just seemed a bit random. I thought the way he washed his hands before operating very disturbing. brilliantly done! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MR.B Posted July 31, 2005 Share Posted July 31, 2005 Yeah I agree there but I did find the actual 'operation' itself more disturbing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suprasteve Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 If you liked that film, watch The Decent. Same sort of thing but better in IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

how_supra Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 I personally thought Creep was one of the most random films I have ever watched. Just totally random throughout................ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just totally random throughout................ is that good or bad? I too thought it was random but apart from the lack of a descent plot, for pure “horror” factor it really did the trick.

how_supra Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 is that good or bad? I too thought it was random but apart from the lack of a descent plot, for pure “horror” factor it really did the trick. I didn't find it particularly scary no. Did nothing for me in all honesty, and I'm easily scared. I got scared by house on haunted hill and that's a 12 rating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mawby Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 I too thought it was random but apart from the lack of a descent plot, for pure “horror” factor it really did the trick.Did you think so? I watched it last night and was pretty unimpressed. After she escaped from the train at the beginning it was just too predictable. And the lack of story didn't help; just random scenes put together until they managed to make a film. I'd give it a 2/10 just because they had the common sense to keep the film short.

SupraStar 3000 Posted August 1, 2005 Author Share Posted August 1, 2005 I agree about the poor story line but some times its nice just to watch a good shocker without the complicated plot. Lately it seem a major improvement in horror films since the 90’s with crap films like “scream” and ”i know what you did last summer”. but shocker tactics aside, you can’t beat a good classic J-Horror (Japanese Horror) Dark Water Ring Grudge Eye Battle Royal Ju-on Shikoku Auction ...etc I’m a BIG J-Horror fan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chilli Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 I too thought the bit where he washed his hands fantastic and the gloves... he was just totally in some sort of trance wasn't he. Good film for fear factor but it was a bit random. It is weird going to the under ground the first time after seeing it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevie_b Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 I've seen it. Apart from the operation bit (sorry if you haven't seen it already!), it wasn't great. I think the chap/freak/monster thing was one of the child experiments that went wrong. But that's only my guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

how_supra Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 I wouldn't describe it as a good shocker. I wasn't scared at all. I was too busy trying to make sense of the plot to pay attention to the scary parts But that said I'm not necessary sure that I would like to sit on a tube train by myself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was too busy trying to make sense of the plot to pay attention to the scary parts I guess what one person finds terrorifing isn’t to another. I guy running around with knifes for fingers or a scream mask just doesn’t do IT for me. A drowned girl crawling out you tv set is more appealing to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
