Creep is scary and always has high tension and has great acting.
Creep is a tense, unsettling thriller that builds discomfort with every scene. The haunting performance and eerie atmosphere make it a truly gripping watch.
Unsettling, creepy, a pretty good found footage horror film to watch
One of the best “found footage” movies I’ve seen in a while. Especially considering the low budget it was definitely well done.
No idea why the other reviews claim its a work of art/ groundbreaking film. This movie was pure , raw unfiltered garbage. Worst movie ive ever seen , would rather be strapped to an electric chair for the 1hr runtime of this movie.
Creep is a great minimalist film that proves you don’t need a big budget or flashy effects to deliver an unnerving and memorable horror experience. The film centers on a freelance videographer (Patrick Brice) who answers a cryptic Craigslist ad to document the final days of a terminally ill man, Josef (Mark Duplass). What starts as an odd but seemingly innocent gig slowly morphs into something far darker and more disturbing. The real magic of Creep lies in its simplicity. The found-footage style, often overused in horror, is handled with precision here, creating an intimate atmosphere that makes every moment feel personal and real. Mark Duplass is magnetic as Josef, effortlessly oscillating between endearing, eccentric, and utterly terrifying. His performance carries the movie, keeping you on edge as you try to decipher whether he’s a quirky loner or a dangerous predator. However, the film isn’t without its flaws. While the slow buildup is effective in establishing tension, certain scenes feel repetitive, as if the filmmakers were stretching out the runtime to meet feature length. The extended ending, while unsettling, pushes the boundaries of believability, requiring viewers to suspend their disbelief perhaps a bit too far. That said, Creep excels in generating unease through its exploration of human behavior. It’s a movie that sticks with you, not because of graphic violence or jump scares, but because it taps into the primal discomfort of being trapped in an unpredictable and menacing situation. For fans of psychological horror and intimate thrillers, Creep offers a fresh and chilling experience. Its imperfections are overshadowed by its ability to provoke genuine tension and leave you questioning the boundaries of trust and vulnerability. Rating: 4/5 A well-acted, unsettling film that occasionally stumbles with pacing and plausibility but still delivers an eerie and thought-provoking ride.
really scary movie with a lot of creativity.
Biased review because i kinda hate this specific subgenre of scary movies but realistically super creepy and well done. Definitely worth checking out.
What a waste of my life. The worst movie I have ever seen.
This movie sucked. I want the hour and 17 minutes I wasted in my life back. Go find another movie.
This is very much a different type of horror that feels comedic yet dark. It's not horror comedy, but... I'm not sure how to describe it. It's a movie with two distinct halves. The first half consists of Aaron and Josef hanging out and filming footage. It slowly builds up Josef and his eccentric personality before the climax, where the truth is revealed: Josef doesn't have cancer, he doesn't have a wife, he isn't going to have a child, everything was a lie. It's amazing, and the scene with Josef dancing in front of the door is amazing. Then we reach the second half: the cat and mouse game with Aaron and Josef. This is the best part of the movie. You see the slow buildup of Josef sending Aaron videos, a locket and eventually telling him to meet him at the park. Then there's the tense scene of Aaron sitting down and seeing Josef slowly approach him before killing him. It's a very well constructed horror movie. Overall, a very different but effective type of horror.
It’s a thoroughly unique film. While you could compare it to The Blair Witch Project or Paranormal Activity or any other found-footage film, it really stands alone as a character study. Compelling, strange and unsettling.
This is such a believable scary movie, other movies should follow this trend.
Creep isn’t just a found footage movie—it’s a masterclass in suspense, discomfort, and psychological horror. This film sets the gold standard for the genre, delivering an experience so intimate and unnervingly authentic that it burrows under your skin and lingers long after it’s over. Simply put, Creep is the greatest and most powerfully crafted found footage film to ever exist. What makes Creep so extraordinary is its simplicity. The premise—a videographer answering a Craigslist ad to film a day in the life of a seemingly eccentric man—seems innocent enough. But from the very first interaction, an uneasy tension begins to build. The genius of this film lies in its subtlety; it doesn’t rely on cheap jump scares or elaborate effects. Instead, it thrives on the escalating discomfort of watching a character whose friendly exterior hides something far more sinister. Mark Duplass delivers a performance that is nothing short of chilling. His portrayal of Josef is so deeply unsettling because he feels real. His charm is disarming, his quirks are unnervingly human, and his moments of vulnerability make you question your instincts—just as they make the protagonist question his. It’s this push-and-pull dynamic that makes the film so effective. You’re constantly teetering on the edge of unease, unsure if Josef is a misunderstood oddball or something much darker. Spoiler alert: it’s much darker. The found footage style is executed to perfection. Every shot feels organic, every moment intentional yet spontaneous. The handheld camera work heightens the intimacy and immediacy of the story, drawing you into a world that feels raw and unfiltered. You’re not just watching the events unfold—you’re a part of them, trapped in the same claustrophobic, unpredictable nightmare as the protagonist. What sets Creep apart from other found footage films is how it uses silence and space. Long, lingering pauses, awkward moments, and Josef’s unsettling unpredictability create an atmosphere of unbearable tension. The film is a study in how much can be achieved with so little—there are no elaborate set pieces, no complex narrative twists, just a razor-sharp focus on character and mood. And then there’s the ending. Without spoiling it, it’s one of the most haunting conclusions in modern horror—a perfect culmination of the dread that builds throughout the film. It leaves you shaken, questioning how you could’ve seen it coming yet missed it entirely. Creep is a triumph of minimalist horror, proving that the scariest monsters are often the most human. It’s an exercise in masterful restraint, unsettling you not with what it shows but with what it implies. A film like this doesn’t just scare you—it gets under your skin, making you rethink every interaction, every gesture, every smile. For anyone who loves horror that lingers in the mind and soul, Creep is an absolute must-watch. It’s a modern classic, a benchmark for found footage, and a reminder of how powerful storytelling can be when stripped down to its bare, terrifying essentials.
No idea why this is rated so high. It’s definitely not bad, but I certainly wouldn’t give it a 91% lmfao it’s kind of boring at times, and feels a lot longer than it actually is. The acting is great, but it’s really difficult to feel any sympathy for the main guy. There are 2 characters in this film. One is the creepy killer, the other is the victim. And the victim is insufferably stupid. Like genuinely one of the dumbest characters in a horror movie I’ve ever seen. He just ignores red flag after red flag from this guy, and just makes horrible, horrible decisions right up until the very end. I love found footage, and it’s worth the watch, but it’s not one of my favorites.
One of my favorite found footage movies. Mark Duplass is fantastic.
Fantastic. A super interesting twist on the found footage/stalker genre. Mark Duplass is phenomenal.
this is the worst best movie i’ve ever seen, it astounds me they made a sequel, it astounds me this has a 91% RATING?
