Problems with the title

The title of our film had to be changed becuase we found out that there was a movie that had a name that was too similar.

The title we first wanted was to call it creep.  However we found out there had already been a movie with that name.

Here is the movie poster for 2004 movie creep. Which ironically is a horror film set in London which tells the story of a girl who gets trapped in the London ungerground and has to find a way out.  But because of our audience research our friends really like the title creep and therefore we did't want to change to title to drastically . So we then decided to call it "the creep". But I thought that it was too similar to the existing film and I was aware that copyright could potentially be a problem. So then we changed it again slightly and decided that we are going to call it "the creaper". This was a good sugesstion because it maintained some of the elements of the title we originally wanted, but also made it sound a bit more creepy and profound.
