Creature has borrowed immensely from the "alien" concept of the Hollywood movies, and customized it with a bit of Indian mythology and superstitious beliefs. It is a good attempt at a thriller, and retains attention of the viewer well into the second half.
The climax is where it loses the game and the director has probably stretched it a bit too much - to an extent that the climax is predictable and there is no suspense element remaining.
The movie revolves around a boutique forest resort, which is being inaugurated by Bipasha Basu, the protagonist in the movie. That the financial success of the resort is critical to her repaying the bank loans she has taken and the fact that she is a psychiatry patient with suicidal tendencies builds up the tension in the movie. The emergence of the 'CREATURE' which results in bad reputation and loss of business for her resort and her ensuing battle to destroy the CREATURE forms the rest of the script .
The movie has blended well the apathy of the system (the local police) in taking action to control the menace unleashed by the CREATURE. The police treat accounts of people with utter disbelief and dismiss the CREATURE as nothing but a lion or a leopard.
Bipasha is aided by Arjun Roy in her battle against the CREATURE. A love angle between Arjun and Bipasha looks forcibly created and Bipasha looks a tad too old in the movie for Arjun. Apparently, there is also a history to Arjun Roy and Bipasha and that is revealed in the movie, not that it is of much consequence to the sequence of events in the movie.
The climax depicting the battle with the CREATURE is over-dramatized and kills the tension that the movie had built. The movie makes for a good watch. It is a successful experiment with an extra-terrestrial "alien" concept in Bollywood and the director has done a good job.
