In all honesty I **** hated the first one, I could never figure it out why so many acclaimed it.

It was boring, flat, devoid of scares, poorly written, poorly directed and only Mark Duplass did a respectable work. An irrelevant film that I soon forgot.

Few months ago I heard about a sequel, I couldn't understand how but here we are and once again I faced a huge dissapointment.

Unfortunately, Creep 2 does not improve anything of the original, the narrative device uses the same things, it's true that the semblance is different, after all the murderer has confessed that he is a murderer but that is where the biggest mistake of the film lies, which also was one of the greatest of the original: the stupidity and ingenuity of those who are recording him.
Sara, Desiree Akhavan's character - who is recording him and still does not believe that he is a serial killer - she believes she's in control of the situation but she never is, she's not even really sure of what she's doing but still she does it anyway.

Basically the first 50 minutes of this movie are very boring and sadly Duplass's character fails to be that creep of the title and becomes more of a comical character, even though you as an spectator know that he is an extremely dangerous guy, and that is the problem, you already infer it because you already know him, otherwise you would be only thinking that he's a very odd dude.

The movie takes solidity towards the final half hour, the tone and the atmosphere become darker without a doubt, it intrigues you more to know what will happen because now you as an spectator know in which terrain the two characters are playing, although one of them ignores it .

The ending becomes interesting although it gets lost very soon and the conclusion is very poor and what insinuates is even more annoying taking into account that it does not provide any answers.

If you loved the first one, you will love this one, in my case just like its predecessor, it did nothing for me.… Expand

This film lacks the suspense and worry from its predecessor but the odd personality that is "Josef" and "Aaron" does everything it needs to.

There will be some spoilers below, so just a warning. So I just got done watching the first Creep movie last night and my review was not very positive and for good reason. Now I am just going to say that I had a better time watching thisThere will be some spoilers below, so just a warning. So I just got done watching the first Creep movie last night and my review was not very positive and for good reason. Now I am just going to say that I had a better time watching this movie but it is also because I went into it with a completely different mindset compared to the first, so my expectations weren't very high but also open to the silly nature of these films.

This one follows along the same process as the other, Josef/Aaron/the killer does craigslist type request for a person to do a day of filming, we are introduced to the main character of this movie, that being Sara. We are going to refer to the killer as Aaron as that is what he goes by in this film (most likely taken from his victim in the first movie), but Aaron actually openly confesses to Sara that he is a serial killer from the beginning, he seems to be pouring his heart out to her and even goes as far to show her footage of him killing someone. You'd think Sara would turn tail and run, but nope, we will get to that in a the next section but this whole film is about their interaction leading to a conclusion which is almost just as laughable as the first movie.

So why didn't Sara run after being told she is in a room with a serial killer? Well because she is desperate for footage, she was told she wouldn't be killed for 24 hours and of course the most important thing, she says and I quote "I am 99.9% sure he isn't a serial killer". This made me face palm a little too hard, I would've been more behind the radical thinking of Sara if she was just some extreme young adult who wanted an adventure, but having her take this view just made her come across as brainless, much like our main character from the first film! I actually enjoyed a lot of the back and forth communication with Sara and Aaron, Sara almost seemed to be 2 steps ahead of Aaron and was almost manipulating him, but it goes back and forth at times in the movie and it is never truly made clear who is actually in control of the situation, we just are watching two nutcases socialize and do other inappropriate things that complete mislead us as viewers to actually know what either of these characters are thinking.

Now as I said, the movie was more enjoyable because of the mindset I put myself in which most definitely helped so a lot of these dumb moments, I just shrugged off and tried to enjoy it, for the most part I did. If you try to take this movie even a little bit seriously, you will not have the best time, just got to switch your brain off and just try to enjoy it.

As mentioned above, the ending was incredibly goofy and stupid, but I also expected that. I felt this movie could have gone in a different direction if they made some adjustments on Sara's view of Aaron, and tweaked some of the things they did together throughout the movie, it could've actually been an interesting movie to watch, but not quite. Chuck it on with a group of friends, you will have a laugh and enjoy it I feel, but definitely don't try to look any deeper than what is being shown to you, because there is not much there.… Expand
