Creepypasta: The Movie

Creepypasta

Creepypasta

So when I found out Mr. Creepypasta had some involvement with this film my interest piqued a bit. Had high hopes. What we got was the film equivalent of writing names and references on a wall, throwing dook at it and seeing what would stick. Make some random 8-bit game screen that loops featuring the words "Ben Drowned". Have a body stand up behind the main character in the wrap around wearing a sanguine stained white hoodie with long black hair - but don't show the face. Also, the story jumby was a short that came out in 2014. Saw it myself in 2016 when I was still big into this genre...😕 This could have been so much better had the stories been better curated. If you were going to make your own stories to anthologize maybe don't give us wish equivalent characters like trenchcoat slendy, Jerf Duh Keelah, and LAZY Ben Drowned reference. Slapping the movie with the title "creepypasta" doesn't hide the fact that none of these were based off of actual creepypastas we would have liked to have seen if they were based off of them at all - and that you had to figure out some way to incorporate references in there but not get the rights to the stories. I'm only giving this two stars because I feel as if this may have been something that was initially filmed during the pandemic but having the knowledge that at least one of these anthology stories is damn near a decade old doesn't really bode well for that theory. If you want something revolving around creepypastas that's actually worth the watch - Shudder has the entire series of channel zero streaming as we speak.

Tons of small stories that are all basically the same. There's nothing but bad jump scares and no story lines. The acting is bad. The special effects are bad. There's nothing good I can say about this film. It's barely even original since it's basically a much worse version of VHS. At least VHS had stories that made sense or decent monsters. So much of this makes no sense. Don't watch this. It's not even funny bad, just basically if an amateur 17 year old YouTuber tried to make a horror movie. Each story in the anthology follows a character who gets stalked by a monster and ends when the monster jumps out at them.

Like the title says it is a low budget horror with not much going on. I don't even know what the story was. It was clearly an amateur filmmaker trying his luck and 99% of the film is just average film making and a waste of time watching but unlike really bad films this one does build up a little bit of atmosphere. And one scene that does live up to its name. There's a 5 minute clip that is well worth watching but like with any horror you can't just skip to the good bit. You do need to let the atmosphere build which this director does manage to do. I just wish there was a better coherent story and far more creepy pasta scenes! The one where the boogeyman comes out to play, great. Could compete with the film Sinister. Unfortunately far too little and no story leaves this not worth recommending and a measly score of 4 stars. Still, props to the director for making one very good horror scene. He has potential and I wish he'd made more use of that. Not many can made a horror that gives you the creeps. Like not even jeepers creepers did that. Still jeepers creepers was far more entertaining. So it's not all just about the one perfect creepy scene.

It's disappointing when adaptations like this stray from the essence of classic creepypastas. There's already a GREAT anthology of creepypastas and it's called Channel Zero. The original stories had intricate narratives and psychological depth so I have no idea why someone (several someones) thought they could use the namesake Creepypasta for something as dull as video after video of overcooked jumpscares and dragging victims into the darkness. Maybe one or two of the vignettes was fine (the flashlight one comes to mind) but even then I would not recommend this to anyone who came for the pasta. I don't think a single one of these was based on a real classic creepy pasta. If they really wanted to use "Creepypasta" they really should have leaned the other way and made "who was phone" and stories of that ilk.

Gave it 2 stars only because it's horror related. Movie was absolutely terrible and didn't even have the best creepypasta stories. I would have included shorter versions of the channel Zero adaptations and many others. These anthologies have gone completely down hill since the original VHS series and the ABCs of Death. I thought that they would get better over time, but now I realize that the lower budget and starved artists bring so much more to the table than these over produced and sickeningly predictable short films. Give me more edge, give me more originality, give me a movie to tell friends about!

Got this in a pack in the discount bin and did not have any hope for it. But I love watching awful movies and this delivered. Creepypastas are spread online, in a way that you can't really just make new ones, despite this film trying. The costumes are awful, with the most notable being the one scene, where you can see the gloves puckering and wrinkling at the sides, to the point I honestly am surprised anyone looked at that and said "yeah this is movie quality" and the eyes were worse, where before the close up you could see the leds. Also the "Jumby" character had a laughably bad costume, where it was just a man on stilts, which made his arms look unbelievably tiny. The start of the movie mentioned a string of dissapeances, with a 14 year old being the latest of them, and they are never truly explained. There's also a scene where a man in a bloody white hoodie stands behind the main guy, before just walking away? There's no reason for it, nothing happens, nobody noticed? I do like the ben drowned reference, if you can call it that, considering the game ben was from was not a 2d dungeon side scroller. In general, this movie was not worth the 7.50 I paid for it, but it did make me laugh. A lot. The polar express is scarier than this movie, and it's a children's Christmas movie. So it gets 2 stars for amusement. And for not trying to use cheap jumpscares.

Utterly terrible. There is nothing "creepy" in any of these stories on this anthology. Having sat through it all - so disapointed. I expected something actually spooky - but 3/4s of the stories used were not made to be put into any other media than the written word. Sometimes they juust dont translate - so we get this horribly done artistic interpetations to suffer through. There are plenty of better low-budget horror flicks out there. Don't let this one suck your free time away like I allowed it to. This movie wants to be V/H/S and ends up being more like a college project. Woof. Just stay away.

What if we sat a thousand monkeys at a thousand typewriters and waited for them to churn out something vaguely similar to VHS? This is it. The framing device is similar. The segments are for people who think the ones in ABCs of Death are too nuanced and bloated. There is nothing good about this movie. I have watched more terrible anthology horror than almost anyone and will continue to make the same terrible error in judgment over and over but this really should be my rock bottom. Spare yourself. Go watch Creepshow or Cat's Eye or Bodybags or Southbound. Watching any of those for the 10th time will be orders of magnitude more satisfying.
