I'm probably late to the "Creep" party, but I'm damn glad I showed up. Stream-service horror flicks aren't usually highly regarded, considering they're now the straight-to-video crop.

Stream-service horror flicks aren't usually highly regarded, considering they're now the straight-to-video crop. "Creep" should have been a wide-release in my opinion. It's a small movie (literally: there are two main players here, and essentially one location) but it manages to seep into you slowly and effectively. For people who are mainly familiar with Mark Duplass in his comedy outings, be prepared to be completely unsettled by his performance here. Found-footage films may be growing tired, but this little gem had me on edge. Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I think this movie is really good. Peachfuzz is a good add because some people would think that the mask is creepy. And when he kills Aaron it was meaningful the way that he explained why he didn't look back when he was sitting on the bench. I thought this movie was made really well and added a lot of creepy parts. If you think about putting yourself in Aaron's place, it makes the movie a lot creepier. Expand

All brought to life by two fantasticEverything 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. 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.

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.

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.

Minimalist, slow-burning "horror", that oozes with Duplass' personality and sense of humour. Definitely not the scariest of horrors, but is an interesting an unique watch.

Another example of how much is achieved with a fresh idea and a mini cast. It is true that one must give it time to find the flavor and in the end, it does not disappoint. Let it remain as a lesson that one must be careful when accepting a vacancy.

Wonderfully acted, disturbing, and unsettling, "Creep" is a found-footage horror film done right, and one that will stay with you long after the final segment.

Polarizing to say the least. Filled with discomfort and suspense. Creep plays the found footage genre very well.

I am genuinely shocked at the positive response this movie is getting, I had not heard of the movie prior to watching it tonight, and I was expecting a negative flow of reviews but very surprising that this is not the case. For those peopleI am genuinely shocked at the positive response this movie is getting, I had not heard of the movie prior to watching it tonight, and I was expecting a negative flow of reviews but very surprising that this is not the case. For those people who did enjoy it, then absolutely more power to you, I am very happy you enjoyed this movie.

So the praise I am seeing is that it is "original" or "unpredictable" which is being used quite a lot, originality doesn't necessarily mean it is good though.. So we follow a guy named Aaron who takes a job to film a person for a day for a reasonable amount, he doesn't know anything about the person nor what exactly he will be filming, the person he does meet is a strange character named Josef, warning signs are there rather early on but as the movie goes on, its gets more and more obvious there is something up with Jozef... though I'd say the obvious signs to run away were there within a minute of meeting the guy but that is just me.

If you are a fan of horror, then you will be familiar with the feeling of frustration when a character goes into a dark attic after hearing some sketchy noises which typically prompts you to yell at your screen - "Don't go in there!". Well our boy Aaron is now the perfect example of these types of people. A lot of his actions are downright strange in itself, to the point I could not take this movie seriously in the slightest. No matter what Josef says, no matter how awkward or strange his request might be, it is usually met with an "Okay" from Aaron, to the point where I feel you can create a drinking game for every time Aaron says it. Without going into spoilers, I legitimately laughed at the ending and it perfectly summed up my view on our main character, he is a shell of a person with very little sense for us to peek through the eyes of (or lens as it were).

There isn't much I can say about Josef, his character comes off as the title makes clear - he is a creep.

Jump scares are thrown all about this movie and I have nothing against them but some are obviously just placed there to get this "horror" genre vibe across. It is something that a lot of these found footage type movies are plagued with, lacking very little in material, long drawn out scenes for no reason and spotty acting due to a lot of it being improvised, it doesn't feel very genuine.

I will just say that I didn't have a terrible time with the movie, I actually found some enjoyment in it because of how silly it was but is it a good movie? No, there are so many other movies like this out there and majority of them do the same thing, yes the outcome may not go where you expect it to, but that is because you will watch this and predict the outcome based on common sense that the main character should also possess, however this is not the case. Originality and unpredictability does not necessarily mean a good movie. I am still shocked that I am in the minority with my views on this film, but again this is my opinion and do feel free to give it a watch if it interests you, its is only 1 hour and 17 minutes so pretty easy to set time aside for it if you got thing else to watch.
