Plot summary
Set in a Southeast Asian city, the story follows a group of commuters on the last subway train home; only to have the train veer off-course and crash into an abandoned tunnel. Stalked by an unknown monster, the remaining commuters - Yi Ling, a withdrawn mother guilt-ridden by her trauma in a car accident that killed her husband and nearly that of Lucas, her son; and Janice, a student dealing with an estranged relationship with her father - must escape and survive the night. When Lucas is taken by the monster, Yi Ling's maternal instinct is once again tested. Back in the subway control headquarters, duty engineers try to make sense of the situation and rescue the survivors, if there are any.

Singapore's 1st Creature Feature!
CL is the perfect example of what can be done with limited budget -- quick intro of characters and bam! The Action starts!
No doubt the run time is relatively short, but it still manages to provide a tightly paced storyline, effective terrifying scares, nail-biting edge-of-the-seat suspense (of not knowing what's gonna happen!) and tender character moments.
The direction, acting, cinematography, creature design & visual effects are all very well done, and again, well executed under a lot of constraints, I would assume.
It is definitely one of the better Singapore-made movies that has emerged in recent years.
