Creep

You could call it a character flaw and someone even suggested to me, that it was a nice "character touch". But having someone jump in front of the camera once is kind of stupid. Having him do it at least 6 times, is beyond ridiculous. Whatever the "excuse" for this behavior might be. Not to mention the other guy who falls for that stuff. The ending can be seen as powerful, but really: Why would he go there? There is no reason he would do so ... even with a camera filming it all. Something our bad guy supposedly did not know, but still managed to get another "boo" moment out of. It's actually a shame, because he plays it really great. Our villain is the main attraction and not the guy who is "filming it all" (yes found footage again, did I not mention that yet?). But he's also that impressive that he overshadows the other guy. So much so, that you don't really care about that guy, who's making money out of filming people (for whatever reason). Mostly not plausible, especially the way our "sane" guy acts. Shame then ...

Usually not one to review a title unless it is just a steaming pile of unwatchable slop, so I felt compelled to review this title since it is even worse than that. The acting is simply dreadful. The story line is literally nowhere to be found, as well as any sort of creativity or any ounce of originality. There was no comedic value, no suspense; nothing. I found myself so incredibly bored and uninterested that I had trouble even finishing it. I was expecting some sort of new and creative twist or even some sort of shred of hope, but was left with nothing. I honestly could have made a better film with a stranger and an iPhone 3 video camera. Avoid this one at all costs, and for god's sakes do not endorse the two sequels to this that are in the works. I'm not even sure how they got the funding after this poor spectacle.

At only 82 minutes long, it's surprising how much of a chore this movie was to watch. I saw this film on netflix and, while being skeptical, I thought it could possibly be an above average horror flick. Not anything groundbreaking, but still better than others. Sadly, what I didn't know before watching this film was that it was produced by Blumhouse. As Blumhouse is known for, this film is filled with a load of pointless jumpscares in order to 'scare its audience'. But, rather than scaring you, the jumpscares absolutely ruin the tension and are just used as a substitute for horrific ideas and visuals. Instead of having a slow build up and reveal of Mark Duplass's insane character and having it be three- dimensional, instead the atmosphere and tension are paper thin and every now and then it goes 'BOO!'. My main gripe with this film is Mark Duplass's character and how they try to slowly develop him over the course of the film but he just ends up being weird for the sake of being weird. While the movie makes it seem like he is supposed to be some sort of mysterious killer or something like that, his behavior just comes off as random rather than having some sort of purpose. He doesn't really have a personality, he is just whatever the script wants him to be at that point. The main character, while making some dumb decisions, is not as dumb as most horror movie protagonists. While I do not like this film at all, there were a few good things about the film. Some moments later in the film with the main character trying to escape the house are genuinely creepy. Also, there's a lot of potential to the story of this film, but it just falls flat on it's face. The setting is nice and while I respect the movie trying to just use one setting with only two characters, it came off to me at least that this was more to save money than to fulfill some artistic vision. Overall, I would recommend to stay away from this film. With bad writing and directing, no scares, and being boring as watching yarn for 82 minutes, this is most definitely typical found footage schlock.

I went through 14 good reviews before coming upon the first reviewer who didn't like this movie. We watched it because it had a 6.2 rating. Reviewers don't seem to allow much room for really good movies when they continue to give mediocre films such high reviews. This movie was painful to watch and we realized this within about ten minutes. We wanted to see how it ended because of all the implications that there were twists. The first big problem is that there is no build up of suspense. The creep starts out immediately as a weirdo who made me feel uneasy. He was difficult to listen to. Both of us viewing this wanted to escape from him, but saw it through to the end. I don't understand reviewers who say he started as a nice guy. There were red flags all over the place that he was an oddball. I also don't understand the reviewers who are indicating that there is some kind of twist and that the movie doesn't go where you think it is going. It goes exactly where you think it is going. The cameraman is a person who doesn't listen to that inner voice warning him. Even though he isn't stupid, he can't bring himself to get out of Dodge when he has a good opportunity. He also tries to be compassionate at the end. This just wasn't a very good movie. It isn't because it's found footage that I didn't like it. It's because the story is poorly done. I stopped the movie several times to see how much longer it would go on. Always a bad sign! I like a good thriller or horror movie, but this gave me an uncomfortable feeling rather than scaring me. I couldn't wait to stop listening to the creep.

I see now that critics appreciated this film just as much as I did, but I had NO IDEA what I was getting into by selecting a random horror movie I had never heard of on Netflix. Creep takes every little broken piece of horror, polishes it up, and pastes it together into a beautiful and unique masterpiece. It is extremely disturbing and unsettling without once resorting to gore, which was a breath of fresh air. Be warned that the jump scares are severe but cheesy, but for good reason. Horror fans absolutely must see Creep.

Employing found footage in a way that actually makes sense in the context of the plot, Creep is the story of an increasingly awkward relationship between two men that feels frighteningly plausible. The film rests upon – and succeeds because of – Mark Duplass' excellent performance as the type of person we've all met at one time or another; someone a little bit too keen to be your friend, inspiring conflicting feelings of suspicion as to their motives and empathy with regard to their ill-judged attempts at social interaction. Seen through the eyes (or rather camera) of Aaron, the only other on-screen character (played by writer/director Patrick Brice), it's clear fairly early on that something isn't quite right, but should he be worried? Despite an occasional reliance on cynical jump scares (presumably included to ensure that the tension doesn't sag – the film is dialogue-heavy) the suspense ebbs and flows nicely and keeps you guessing as to where it will end up going. Thankfully, for a film that always feels like it's building up to something, the resolution is well-judged and perfectly executed. Overall this is a very impressive effort and marks Patrick Brice out as a filmmaker to keep an eye on.

It's hard to write a decent review without spoiling things-but this movie is just garbage! I like found footage style and it's not too bad in this film the script even sounds great although it's just poorly executed. Ridiculous jump scares and thrown in as jokes and the characters are just wrong,just being weird for the sake of weird. It's tries to build up to a some big ending while keeping the viewers in the dark and again it's just falls short.. Pass on it,plenty of other way better than this to watch especially in this genre.

I didn't really know what to expect with this film as I hadn't read many reviews, but gave it a go. It's starts off innocently enough, and the plot is easy to follow. Then we meet Josef, who right away seems a little off-kilter, but I couldn't put my finger on why until later. As the plot moves on, I felt like I'd ventured into the dark side of YouTube, when you're looking for something normal and you end up stumbling upon all kinds of crazy stuff. The tension was very well paced and really effective, I found myself shrinking further and further down the settee. The ending was also very surprising, I was kind of expecting it but at the same time not really? If that makes sense! A good watch.

I just finished watching this movie and I was looking forward to find critics tearing it to shreds. Apparently I must have watched a completely different movie because the horror masterpiece that most critics are describing has nothing to do with 'the creep'. This movie has no twists at all, you can tell Josef is not mentally stable from pretty much the very beginning of the film, what's worse, Aaron, the guy hired to record the creep, has no survival instinct he's constantly getting himself into more danger. Instead of running away he stays in the house and looks for Josef. There's a point in the movie where Aaron gets a call from Joseph's sister, the sister asks him repeatedly where he is, yet Aaron apparently has no idea where the house is located even though he drove all the way up there. There's a point later where Aaron hears strange noises coming from outside his house, keep in mind by this point in the movie he knows he's being stalked and followed by Joseph, still he decides to go outside and check on those sounds. It's not something a real human being would have done there's no logic to any of what Aaron does. In a nutshell, this movie is really predictable, it has barely any tension and whatever tension it does have, this immediately lost because of all the cheap jump-scares they put in. I understand that to show that Joseph is quirky you make him jump once or twice in front of the camera, but he does this exact same thing about six times all throughout the movie and each passing time it gets more and more boring and predictable. I don't understand why people think this is some sort of masterpiece but it's just you to spend your time watching something more entertaining like paint drying.
