Creep Reviews
It was obviously inspired by other two-hander horror thrillers, but this micro-budget, no-frills wonder gets the job done spectacularly, generating suspense through human behavior and threat.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Jun 4, 2024
It’s among the funniest and scariest horror-comedies of this century, blending mumblegore independence with a found footage aesthetic to create a destabilizing, unforgettable experience.
| Original Score: 4/4 | Oct 26, 2023
Anchored entirely by the likability of Duplass, one of the few horror-comedies that will keep you questioning the authenticity of whether to be disturbed or delighted by what you're seeing unfold.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Sep 20, 2023
An interesting, indie-minded horror, Creep’s simplicity adds to its effectiveness as a taught, jarring film.

A deeply uncomfortable yet compelling viewing experience.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Nov 22, 2021
A simple found footage film that is considerably more complicated when unpacked through the lens of male relationships and gay panic. Hits a little harder/differently for queer audiences on social & dating apps.
| Original Score: 4.5/5 | Nov 17, 2021
Leave it to indie darling Mark Duplass and his regular collaborator Patrick Brice (The Overnight) to keep the found-footage horror movie kickin' 15 years after The Blair Witch Project.

This movie is genius... and it just totally captivated me to the very end.
| Original Score: 9/10 | Jun 1, 2021
The extended coda feels superfluous, even in a movie that's only 77 minutes. It also pushes the suspension of disbelief past the breaking point.

...an edge-of-your-seat chiller that does not necessarily need to overwhelm the audience's nervous system with grotesque tactics of torture to bring along the bloody chase of a detached thrill.
| Original Score: 3/4 | Nov 10, 2018
[Creep] simply has a few too many scenes stuffed with clichés when the general mood would have served the film much stronger.
| Original Score: 5/10 | Oct 24, 2018
Within its commercial framework, they're taking real chances - and 'Creep' is, in many ways, a puzzling character study in a found-footage horror movie's clothing.

Funny and scary and surprising and everything found footage horror should be.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Apr 9, 2016
Though lean in running time, scale, and budget, Creep demonstrates its makers' masterful resourcefulness and spirited direction.
| Original Score: B+ | Mar 26, 2016
The chilling final stretch ultimately confirms Creep's place as a better-than-average horror effort...
| Original Score: 3/4 | Feb 24, 2016
A remarkable two-hander, scripted (and seemingly improvised) by its stars Patrick Brice and Mark Duplass.

Creep is an exercise in the kind of unease we've all experienced.
| Original Score: B+ | Sep 17, 2015
Creep will tickle your funny bone and screw with your head - even as it rips your nerves to shreds.
| Original Score: 8/10 | Sep 2, 2015
Duplass's fantastically unhinged performance establishes what Brice fails to convey ...

The film is remarkable, considering its minimal means and surprising lack of bloodshed, given the genre. Does it stay with you? A little.
