In the last few years London Underground has been a good set for some horror films and comedies like Creep and the largely criticized Three and Out accused of being immoral and inappropriate as suicides in the Tube are a very serious and sad issue.
Creep, a film which came out at the cinemas in 2004, is about a girl locked in overnight on the London Underground, stalked by a deformed killer living in the sewers below.
The film, directed by Cristopher Smith, retakes the plot from two other horror films set in the Tube: Death Line (1972) and An American Werewolf In London.
Sliding Doors , directed by Peter Howitt, is a film, a bit tragic, but not a horror, whose turning point is the London Underground, in particular the so much hated closing doors of the trains between which people get stuck every day trying to get in.
The story is about Hellen Quilley (Gwyneth Paltrow) whose life is split into two parallel lives; one of the Hellen who managed to take the train and got home finding her boyfriend cheating on her, and the other one of the Hellen who didn't take the train going towards a different destiny.
It's really incredible how a "closing door" can make such a difference to your life...so, thats made me think that: every time I get to the platform two seconds too late and the doors close in front of me...would my day have been different if I have caught that train?...who knows...
