Let's be realistic.

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

There is definitely an excellent idea hidden in the background of the film. Unfortunately, it's difficult to find it.

CREEP isn't my favorite horror movie, and I probably won't give it a second viewing. However, it was suspenseful, unsettling, and original. The actors played their characters convincingly, and they sold the story well up until the disturbing ending. It's worth the watch, even if it's just once.

I personally don't LOVE found footage style filming but from start to finish I couldn't look away from the screen. Plus both actors are PHENOMENAL in these roles

Videographer Aaron (Patrick Brice) takes a job to film oddball Josef (Mark Duplass) living in a remote mountain cabin. Josef claims to be a cancer survivor and that this is a video for his unborn son. At first, Josef is simply an energetic oddball with fascinating stories. His awkwardness turns darker and darker. As Josef sleeps, Aaron takes a call coming into the house. It's Josef's sister. She warns Aaron to leave immediately.This is a two hander and let's face it, Aaron is a dud. He's mostly behind the camera but he isn't much even when he's on screen. Mark Duplass is pretty creepy but the intensity isn't there. That leaves the movie with little tension. Patrick Brice is directing and it may work better if Aaron is played by a woman. This is an indie horror with limited scares. It's a bad way to use found footage for a horror movie. By extending the timeline, this becomes a low intensity stalker movie rather than a scary horror. Even the big climatic scene has its own problem. Josef's shadow goes over Aaron who must be able to see him coming.

"Creep" is a classic, one of the best horror movies of the new millennium. Mark Duplass is superb in his role of Josef, perhaps the titular "creep". The found footage thing gets a bad rap, but it has been done to superb effect before: consider "Man Bites Dog", "Blair Witch Project", "Paranormal Activity", and the short film "Safe Haven". "Creep" is another classic to add to this list.The film really only involves two actors, and I was surprised, in a sense, to hear that it is mostly improvised. Before watching "Creep", I would have had a hard time imagining improvisation working in a horror movie. It seems like you could all too easily stray from the fearsome undercurrent each scene is supposed to carry with it - or, you could try to make everything you say scary, and thus merely become ridiculous.It must have been a tightrope, but Duplass and Brice were more than up to the challenge."Creep" has possibly the most naturalistic acting seen in a found footage film since "Blair Witch".
