Party-loving Kate wakes up in a London tube station to find the place locked up and deserted. With no choice but to stay there until morning, Kate soon finds that some things are much more frightening than being alone, as she heads into the labyrinth of tunnels beneath the city, pursued by an unknown attacker.
Review:
Kate decides to leave a party, to try and meet the actor George Clooney who is in London.
She waits for the last tube, but she falls asleep on the platform, missing the last train and being trapped in the London Underground.
Later, a train going to the depot stops at the platform. She boards the train and she meets her 'friend' Guy from the party, who tries to sexually assault her in the car.
Guy is attacked, and dragged off.
This is the beginning of Kates night in the Underground......
Potente is brilliant as Kate, and the minimal cast give that movie an unnerving sense of claustrophobia. After all, the Underground seems pretty small at the platform, but it's a vast body, and anything could be down there as this proves.
It's a shame it's not more well known, as it's one of the better British horrors of the last ten years, The titular character is brilliantly played by Harris, and despite its iffy origins, his being is terrifying.
I really like this movie. I find my self going back to it quite often, and the last shot of Kate, almost breaking the fourth wall realising that no one will believe her night, even though if she had met Clooney they wouldn't have believed her anyway, is a smack in the face of an ending.
