Creep is a tiny movie whose uniqueness feels positively seismic. If there's one thing Creep has, it's an abundance of personality, and that cannot be understated. Read full review

A slow-burning found-footage suspenser with some mildly clever twists and a knockout payoff. Read full review

The film is remarkable, considering its minimal means and surprising lack of bloodshed, given the genre. Does it stay with you? A little. Read full review

Superior found-footage horror film Creep tellingly loses steam after it stops being a rote but tense game of chicken between a normcore derangoid (he likes hikes, hugs, and pancakes) and his wary victim. Read full review

While Creep has the limited scope of DIY filmmaking at its most rudimentary, that contributes to a tone that’s unusually playful and entertaining without coming off as a lark. Read full review

Knowing and funny without straining to be clever, the found-footage-style pic works better than the Duplass Brothers' 2008 Baghead, with which it has some elements in common. Read full review

This is another movie I just randomly found on Netflix that I decided to watch. The only thing I knew about Creep was that it had a really good rotten tomatoes rating.

I like watching moviesThis is another movie I just randomly found on Netflix that I decided to watch. The only thing I knew about Creep was that it had a really good rotten tomatoes rating. I didn't read a plot synopsis, didn't know the cast, directed or really anything about this movie. I like watching movies like this because then I don't have any expectations going in. Creep, directed by Patrick Brice and starring Mark Duplass, follows Aaron who answers a sketchy craigslist ad for a one-day job to shoot a film. His client is a little weird and talkative, but Aaron realizes this man is not who he seems. It sounds generic and overdone, but Creep executes its premise in an original and memorable way. This guy, Josef, seems like a pretty normal guy. He's not a shady, mustachioed guy who drives a windowless white van, but he's also not "too nice" or "too perfect." Josef is just the guy in line behind you at McDonald's who's way too talkative and kinda aggravating. Paired with a standout performance by Mark Duplass makes him an incredibly memorable villain. The plot itself is also wildly unpredictable, which is far too uncommon in movies like this. You never know where this movie will go or what will happen next. It has so many tricks up its sleeve that it'll keep you on the edge of your seat, anticipating the next move that the movie will make. Creep is without a doubt one of the best found footage films in a long time, and it may be one of the best horror films of the year.… Expand

as far as found footage films go this is as good as it gets. The name of the movie says it all, this film is creepy. The acting is top notch, it keeps you guessing from beginning to end and its atmosphere will have you completely absorbed.

Everything starts off rather weird in this bit of horror excellence. The longer it progresses the more unsettling it gets. Before you know it things get terrifying. This is full blown stalker hell.

The longer it progresses the more unsettling it gets. Before you know it things get terrifying. This is full blown stalker hell. All brought to life by two fantastic performances, excellent direction, and an incredibly disturbing plot that's full of mystery.

Best of all there's a noticeable sense of humor here and it doesn't manage to get in the way of the horror. The jump scares seem used just as much for comic relief as they are for scares. The movie does rely a little too much on them for the latter unfortunately. The real scares here come from the mystery and the wonderfully creepy performance from Mark Duplass.

It's a film that's great at making you wonder just what the heck is actually going on, as well as keeping you on the edge of your seat to see what will happen next. With a genuine sense of creepiness and originality, horror fans would be bereft to miss it.

I give the movie a near-perfect score of 9.9/10.… Expand

Thought it was a unique and original horror movie that plays off Duplass's performance brilliantly. Well worth the watch and made me super hyped for the sequel.

A creepy movie about a creep who is creepy. A+ for title accuracy. The movie itself is very straightforward and intentionally uncomfortable, good stuff! The only downside is the rather dull point of view character, but honestly the movie stars Josef the creep and not Aaron the camera guy soA creepy movie about a creep who is creepy.

A found footage masterpiece. The movie is truly one of a kind. Tense, awkward, frightening... and strangely hilarious? Creep is a genre-bending film, and while their are some dumb horror movie cliched decisions that bring it down, that doesn't stop it from being a worthwhile viewing experience.

'Horror' ?? More like horrific waste of 1 hour and 17 minutes of time I could have been watching something else, anything really would have been better. The 'jump scares' were just annoying, and the sole purpose of movie seemed to be a test of endurance of crap film making. How did this'Horror' ??
