Editing Guidelines Please remember these guidelines when editing a film article: If a non-film article already exists with the name of the film that you are trying to create an article for, disambiguate and use (film) in the title: Film Title (film) For more information see: Wikipedia:Naming conventions (films) When writing an article about a particular film, the general format should be a concise lead section, followed by a plot summary of no more than 900 words, production details, a cast list, a reception section, and references. Create an Infobox that tells all pertinent information about the film. Article upgrading needed: You can help! WP:IA   Stub to Start-Class Upgrading Instructions for Films Note that instructions for articles on other types of film topics within the scope of WikiProject Films are currently under development. To contribute in upgrading this stub article to Start class, the following requirements must be met: Significant intro (list the title, alternate titles, year released, director, actors starring in the film, summary of headings, etc.) Film infobox ({{infobox film}}) Picture: Consult WikiProject Free Images for freely released images from a film shoot, opening, or other relevant free image. Non-free and unlicensed images are to be avoided if at all possible, but if used should include a detailed fair use rationale. (An image is not required for start class if unavailable.) Plot summary Include cast and crew information. At least two other developed sections of information (production, reception (including box office figures), awards and honors, themes, differences from novel or TV show, soundtrack, sequels, DVD release, etc.) Categories (by year, country, language, and genre(s))  Helpful links: WP:BETTER, WP:LEAD, WP:REF, WP:WAF Once this article has fulfilled these requirements, the film can be reassessed to Start class and this template will be removed automatically.

[edit] Subtext

I removed the supposed subtext of the film from the article:

"The film's take on the slasher genre is an interesting one due to its focus on Kate's search for love. Kate, who is a distinctly unlikeable character, in searching for her perfect man encounters a number of men, including the killer, who are all socially unacceptable yet are all either likeable or attract the viewer's sympathy, both things which Kate struggles to do."

Having seen the film this strikes me as a personal interpretation. We should only put this in if we know its what the filmmaker's intended, or its how the film is being widely interpreted. Jihg 20:52, Feb 3, 2005 (UTC)

It is what the filmmaker intended, he said as much in a Q&A session I attended. Although in retrospect I think you are probably right to remove the section as it was. I don't think there's a problem with including interpretations, although I think they should be clearly identified as such (which in this case it wasn't). Rje 09:10, Feb 4, 2005 (UTC)

Well, if that's what he said... :-) I've put it back in the article. Any details of where he said it? Jihg 14:28, Feb 4, 2005 (UTC)

It was at the Phoenix Arts Cinema in Leicester on December 4 last year, although I believe he's said similar things at other Q&As he's done. Rje 17:43, Feb 4, 2005 (UTC)

Man, that's the last thing I was thinking while watching this movie... I'd also have to disagree with "the heroine Kate comes across as unlikeable at times": I never her found her anything but unlikeable and was hoping she'd just die. Is that based on a verifiable source, or a personal opinion? Mark Grant 01:04, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Controversy - dead babies

Text states "some viewers" questioned their inclusion; does anyone have a valid reference as such? Nick Cooper 17:26, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

seems too POV to me, I'd remove it, if it remains unreferenced.

Well, for sure they weren't alive inside thoes glass, but i can't tell if they were deformed or something. --R2cyberpunk 17:07, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Final Glance

Unless I misread it, I think this should be how the plot section finishes: ".. state of her clothes. She laughs briefly and then sobs. As she looks back over to the tunnel where she left the creep, her expression turns from misery to alarm, and the film immediately ends."

The implication is that the creep is not dead and has followed her along the tunnel into the station. If anyone else agrees, please make the above change. Open4D 00:13, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

Another possibility is taht there is (or maybe are) (an) other Creep(s). --84.44.159.88 (talk) 22:19, 20 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Creep movie poster.jpg

Image:Creep movie poster.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
