This London Underground Horror Reboot Is the Ultimate Travel Nightmare

A new wave of terror is preparing to rise from beneath the streets of London .

Shudder has officially acquired the North American distribution rights to The Creep, a highly anticipated reboot of the 2004 cult horror Creep.

Returning to the unsettling maze of the London Underground, The Creep brings back original director Christopher Smith alongside important team members from the initial movie, such as cinematographer Danny Cohen and production designer John Frankish.

Smith, renowned primarily for his bone-chilling 2009 movie "Triangle," is poised to revamp his breakthrough horror classic over two decades since it initially graced the big screen.

Headlining the cast is Jasmine Jobson, renowned for her part in Top Boy, along with seasoned British horror actor Andy Nyman (known from Ghost Stories) and UK rapper Aitch, who will be stepping into cinema for the first time. Deadline reports.

Based on the movie's official synopsis, the narrative will delve deep into the dark passageways of London’s famous underground railway network, where an ominous character dubbed Creep initiates a fresh wave of fear.

Jobson leads as an aspiring artist who finds herself drawn back into her grim underworld history. Nyman portrays a prisoner with deep insight into Creep’s terrifying deeds, whereas Aitch assumes the part of Natter G, a well-known drill rapper known for his streetwise intelligence, which could be crucial for staying alive.

Behind the scenes, producers Julie Baines and Jason Newmark return from the original Creep, now producing under Dan Films and Newscope Films alongside Jonathan Taylor (Something in the Water) and Laurie Cook (Consecration).

Global sales of the movie are managed by HanWay Films, while True Brit Entertainment will handle the distribution in the United Kingdom and Ireland. This cinematic project is set for a debut in 2026, with main filming planned to start later this autumn.

To Smith, this redo holds great personal significance. As stated by him, “From the moment I completed Creep and shared it with everyone, my desire has been to revisit that narrative.”

'I've always sensed an unresolved chapter.' He pointed out that even though his illustrious career has spanned many years, it's Creep that remains closest to his audience's hearts. 'Regardless of everything else I've accomplished, it's invariably Creep through which people identify me—and seek conversations about.'

He pledges an enhanced iteration of the initial nightmare: "I've devoted myself fervently to refining the screenplay, aiming to preserve the fear from the first one, while improving the characters, enriching the humor, and intensifying the action... adding a contemporary spin for a fresh Generation Z viewership."

The Creep appears ready to present a bone-chilling new installment. Audiences are anticipating that it might scare an entirely new cohort of viewers while also pleasing those who have been following since the beginning.
