Really enjoy this film, Why?

Sean Harris's creep is really creepy and is excellently played and frankly believable as, I am guessing, the result of a mad doctor's experimentation.

Franka Potente's Kate is, equally believable as the prey. Kate is a likeable / unlikable young woman; she can be downright mean but has goodness in her. Kate is mean to the homeless man but equally wants to save someone who has previously assaulted her.

The other characters are perfect too. Mostly flawed, hapless sorts, who bring in the elements of frustration and potential hope to the action. Vas Blackwood's reluctant, ex con, sewer worker brings elements of gallows humour too.

So, to the storyline: this is just a good old fashioned, survive the really nasty bad guy, movie. The tension mounts and the pace relentless. It is a great little thrill ride. Next time you are on a tube platform, do not look too closely into the maw of the tunnel.
