Countless commuters travel the miles of subterranean tunnels that make up the London subway system but, at the end of the day, they casually desert their underground kingdom. But for anyone left behind after the trains stop, terror begins in the labyrinthine tube.
In the midst of a wild and boozy night hopping from one party to the next, Kate (Run Lola Run's Franka Potente) waits for a subway to zip her to the next nightspot, only to fall asleep on a platform bench. She wakes to find everyone gone, the station all locked up for the night. A lone train arrives and she jumps on, but her journey detours as the subway train screeches to a violent halt and she is plunged into darkness. Slowly becoming attuned to her dank, pitch-black surroundings, she realizes she is not alone. Caught in a maze of catacombs and forgotten passageways, Kate must either find her way to the surface or survive the night, before she becomes a pet, a meal or worse for something very unpleasant that lives in the underground.
Creep starts out at a comfortable, bright place, but first-time director Christopher Smith very quickly snips away at our personal safety net until we are submerged in a claustrophobic black pit. Shooting in an abandoned subway tunnel, Smith plays with tactile and realistic surroundings, adding a texture to the threat of darkness that lurks in the rotting underbelly of the metropolis. |
Bold added for emphasis. This looks like an a film with an interesting UE twist, worth taking a look at.
(I'm not sure if this should be here or in "other", so go easy on me)

| | | | In related UE film trivia the director of Run Lola Run also directed a film called Paradise Mall where a group of young adults sneak into a mall after hours but are pursued by corrupt security officers who are planning to rob the mall's vault and pin it on the protagonists. Haven't seen it but sounds interesting.
Who's up for 7 degrees of UE in films?
