Why did the Creep suck?

Disclaimer* Spoilers inclusive.

I walked into the cinema today with much anticipation after the Director of NNI told me that her hardcore horror friend (or so-called) found "CREEP" scary. So I was hoping for a good scare, for once, after watching so many horror movies for the past month, Amtyville Horror, Samara, and what others i didnt remember.

Horror movies are based on a few well known 'attacks'.
1. Fear of Unknown
2. Cheap scares (something booming out of nothing)
3. Dark Gloomy places
4. Gross stuff

That is exactly what Creep had. I must admit that in the beginning, it was PRETY good. Goodly tense, stuck in an underground station, nobody - somewhat like half life. Rapist came, and wtf WHY would the rapist be there at that time?! This is stupid, he had so many chacnes to rape her, but he had to choose the train. Ok that was still okay. Then later he tries to, but suddenly gets pulled away in a fashion that defies human strength. THAT, is still alright.. until the show revealed..

The Creep , is a bloody HUMAN.

A Human that screams like a ghost in labor and does that for the sake of fun. okay, his body is decaying, and he still has teh strength of the lions. Woot. Talk about medical knowledge. The Creep also has a legion of rats following him around sometimes, wow! And apparently he feeds them with human flesh. Woot! Trains that can be summoned at will, from our apprent Creep the Goblin shaman, oh and he can teleport too! He has TrueSight too, ability to know where is the target. Despite being an autistic, he seems to be pretty smart.

Simple Plotline, Simple Expected Scares, I didnt even have to TRY. Oh and the female lead (Franka Potante) sucks. Full of plotholes, things that cannot be verified, it maeks the horror show, realyl just a horror show. It tried to scare, but it couldnt.

Two thumbs DOWN, all teh way.
