I'm giving this film a 2/10 for Vas Blackwood & Ken Campbell, committing career suicide to be in this sh*t. Right, this film is about Kate. She's German, lives the high life & is pretty arrogant. You hate her already? Good, because her life is about to be turned upside down after missing a friend at a party she tries & fails to hail several Black Cabs (why didn't she just phone 1 from the party - she has a mobile). Why she then tries to catch the Tube with large notes withdrawn from a cash-point (Love the scene of her being rude to the beggar - so typically London!) & then tries to buy a ticket from a machine that clearly scrolls a big red message NOTES ACCEPTED, CHANGE GIVEN), Blind brain dead bitch, use another note! I was half expecting the travel card she buys off the girl beggar to not work (that would have been very funny!) then she goes to catch the last train. A well dressed young woman on her own with 6 minutes to wait.
Now we have seen her drinking quite a lot at the party & she drinks some more on the platform so yes she might have been quite drowsy, but she fell asleep in 6 MINUTES? & DIDN'T HEAR THE TRAIN? & NO-ONE WOKE HER UP? NO STAFF CHECKED THE PLATFORM? What about the cleaners who do each station once it's closed, none of them spotted her? OK, so she doesn't break the fire alarm or try the emergency call button on the platform that she magically spots later. She completely missed the 2 black doors at the top of the escalators (1 to the right in the corner, 1 to the left in the wall) which were probably emergency exits.
She gets on a train that stops in a tunnel & then goes dark and it turns out a man from the party followed her. he tries to rape her & is taken from the train by SOMETHING! she wanders the station aimlessly. So a dog finds her, she meets the beggars(girl out of her head on drugs, guy about to do same), guy agrees to take her to a guard for £50 (since when did cash-points give £50 notes? never that I've seen) & They toddle off. They see her rapist & help him to the platform. druggie hears a scream & runs off to help his lass (who incidentally sat up & looked VERY LUCID for a lass smacked off her head) You know the pretty girl is gonna get killed/captured by the bad man, don't ya? well she is captured (creep seems to be a creature of habit, he killed almost everyone else as soon as he found them - WHY did he let George & Kate live?) lots of running away, creep finally killed in a crap death scene & an even worse ending where Kate makes it the platform & people start coming in to catch a train (the platform where she started!) so you see she's been there all night! there are too many plot holes and inconsistencies to point them all out. Anyone who's traveled on the Tube extensively will be picking holes in this film all the way through it. Without a doubt the biggest goof has to be the change for a ticket scene. Kate truly is blind.
If you like bad slasher/horror flicks watch this. I'm hoping it'll improve with a 2nd watching, listening to the directors comments.
I've only seen the movie once so can't really comment on the dvd extras. I do know it has a commentary track.

Advantages: Cushing and Lee at the height of their horrific powers. Splendid story. Excellent direction. Disadvantages: The creature when fully revealed, but isn't on screen that long anyway.
