“MERCILESSLY CHILLING. TERRIFYING.” SHIVERS MAGAZINE
EVER MISSED THE LAST TRAIN? London, midnight, on a cold evening. Unable to find a taxi, Kate (Franka Potente) heads for the Underground. She takes a seat away from the crowd of late-night revelers and waits for the last train. Before long she drifts off to sleep and wakes to find everyone gone. She momentarily panics until another train pulls in. She boards, unnerved that she’s the only passenger but relieved at last to be on her way. Halfway through the tunnel the train jerks to a violent halt. The lights shut off and the train is plunged into darkness. Kate screams: she is trapped, in the dark and she is not alone...Her nightmare has only just begun...

Sean Harris is a method actor and didn’t socialize with anyone throughout the shoot. Kelly Scott didn’t see Sean Harris in full make-up as Craig until the sequence where Craig operates on Scott’s character Mandy was filmed. As a result, many of Scott’s reactions of fear and confusion were genuine. Franka Potente dubbed her own voice in the German Version. It took seven hours a day to transform Sean Harris into Craig and three hours to remove all the make-up at the end of a day’s shooting. The Charing Cross station where a large part of the movie was set is actually a disused platform on the Jubilee Line. It was closed in 1999 but is often used by film and television makers requiring a modern Underground station location. In the scene with Jimmy and Kate on one of the trains, there’s a dead guy (the train driver) lying on the floor. If you look closely you see he has a moustache. It was actually added on later using CGI so he wasn’t confused with the previously killed security supervisor. Franka Potente was writer/director Christopher Smith’s first and only choice to play Kate.
TRIVIA
Titles that didn’t make it: “Runt”, “Cellar Dweller”, “Horunder”, “Here Kitty Kitty”, “One Track Mind” and “Piccadilly Nightmare”. When they were filming Franka running through a tube train, the cameraman behind her ran straight into one of the posts on the train. The party sequence was shot in a real model agency office. Franka Potente had to be hospitalized due to appendicitis during filming. They bought six yellow dresses for Franka, each one had a varying degree of dirtiness because her dress got more grubby throughout the film. Advertising posters showing a bloody hand sliding down a London Underground train window were banned from the Underground as being in bad taste, even though scenes had been filmed with permission in disused stations on the Underground. Producer Julie Baines found this “highly amusing” and “a bit ludicrous”, noting that the film is “not based on real events - if it is, we are all in trouble.” The ban was later removed, although not in time for the film’s British opening. The image of the bloody hand on a carriage window was allowed to be displayed in London Underground stations for the DVD release, unlike the poster for the theatrical release. The villain, Craig was named after the director Chris Smith’s friend, Craig Fackrell who played a homeless guy by the cash machine in the film. Co-producer Barry Hanson can be seen in several black and white photographs as a doctor with Craig as a little boy. Meticulous method actor Sean Harris (Creep/Craig) once in full Creep make-up (which took 4 hours to do) stayed in character in between takes, which really unnerved & unsettled the rest of the cast & crew.
