Probably the best found-footage movie I've seen. Creep is an accurate title as it's more creepy than scary or spooky.

Seeing that Mark Duplass is in this movie it's save to call this is "mumblecore found-footage"... if you're expecting something else you won't like it very much. The movie does a good job for most of it's runtime keeping the weird tone up (besides the annoying attempts at jumpscares), the finale however lacks the punch it needed.

Creep can't really escape the narrative weakness that many "found footage" films suffer from - the suspension of disbelief required to accept the rationale of the "filmmaker" to carry on filming no matter the way in which the plot develops. That being said, the central conceit actually works quite well here - there is a deep sense of unease that is developed in the film, but the film manages to just about keep the audience on side with the central character's dilemma of conforming to social niceties in the face of an antagonist that he clearly recognises as creepy, but rationalises the behaviour as socially inept rather than dangerous. There are a couple of clever tricks employed in the use of the footage that work really well and the final act and reveal to show how the footage came to be "found" is a nice twist on the usual abrupt finale that most films like this employ.

haha wow, this never got passed dark comedy for me. if your weakness is jump scares, then this is a horror film for you.

ps. the filming location is ridiculously beautiful.

This film manages to do a lot of things right with just two actors and a found footage style. There's almost no gore, barely any swearing barely any violence, this film really works well as we see the layers of Josef unravel and his true intentions revealed. I enjoyed it. 3.5/5

Entertaining for one watch, if you don't judge it on originality and just accept the weirdo. Dupass is always good to watch.

This movie is different. I really liked how this was done. You know there is something completely off with Josef and yet nothing truly horrific is revealed until almost the end of it.

The film doesn't pick up until late but Mark Duplass is great to watch as persuasive weirdo.. It's not really a horrorfilm per se, but Josef is a troubled and intriguiging person to keep me interested.. Great acting , but not for everyone...

Title checks out. Has an eerie vibe to it throughout the movie and as many say has some jumpscares but I found them not too over the top. I'd recommend it for a one time watch.

Very cool and creepy, I enjoyed it :smiley:

Creep is a found footage movie were not much happens but it still finds a way to keep you hooked. The runtime of 75 minutes also really helps. it also shows you a new way to film Found Footage films especially with the help of a great lead in Mark Duplass.

Mark Duplass is wonderfully creepy here as Josef! Especially his alter ego Peachfuzz. And those "cheap jump scares" it fits his character. The scene in the bathtub is also so weird! And the way he swings the axe at the end? DAMN! And his collection of "movies". He's one creepy serial killer who always is in control of the situation.

Anyway, I won't say much more, but this one is worth watching because of some of the twists and the performance by Mark Duplass.

it is kind of a gay stalker situation

I didn't have high expectation before watching this. It was pretty enjoyable and fun to watch. I can see myself watching this again in the future.
