First Paragraph -

Nowadays, women in films have been seen to be more independant, confident and in control over their actions. This is portrayed vastly in the film Creep. Creep, a horror/slasher genre, potentially arthouse movie depicts an opposed view of the stereotype that women should only be seen as domestic housewives, and are only good in the house. Instead, Christopher Smith portrays the female character in Creep (Kate) to be independant and not relying on a male character for sexual needs, but shows that she is better off without the help of a male in others masculine aspects. For example, taking care of herself in a dark underground train station. During the cause of the film we view her experiences as a voyer, and we see the struggles she as a voyeuristic character goes through. We see her determination to get out of the underground and attempt to save others' lives while doing so. By playing such a strong character inm the film, the audience aspire to her as a role model.
