Scott M Kiyoshi Kurosawa is one of those rare filmmakers who operate on their own unique wavelength and require you to fully tune in with patience and an open mind in order to really enjoy their work. If you are willing and able to do so, you're in for a thoroughly engrossing, unsettling, and quietly haunting experience. Creepy is easily one of Kurosawa's most disturbing and bleak films. It's not straightforward horror, but more of a slow burn mystery/thriller filled with existential dread and despair, and accented by elements of horror. Also, as with most of Kurosawa's films, there are few, if any, concrete answers to be found. His films tend to operate on metaphors, motifs, and atmosphere rather than offer a clear-cut plot with a literal approach. If you just want thrills, this is probably not the movie for you. If you want something thought-provoking and eerie that will slowly worm its way under your skin and leave you shaken, then Creepy will not disappoint. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 04/12/25 Full Review Jonathan D. B This was probably the worst paced, improperly, lazily, sloppily directed films I have ever seen. I'd honestly write something longer if I didnt just already waste 130 minutes of my life. If you need some proof of the lazy directing just go to the scene at the college where the main character is casually questioning a person of interest before he abruptly assaults her (meanwhile the background characters who are studying and all doing different activities robotically all get up and leave in unision). Life is short and you cant get these 130 minutes back. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 10/30/24 Full Review babarizam D I think film skipped lots of details like driving a fast car. There is something wrong with this movie, scenes doesn't piece together. Climax is so bad that even climax itself says i am bad. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 06/09/24 Full Review Joseph C This film started so well and then quickly descended into ridiculous, implausible farce. None of the characters behave like any real human being would, it’s just utter nonsense and so far from being believable in any way at all. Avoid at all costs. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/19/25 Full Review James S If you watched Cure before heading into Creepy, you might do what I did and spend much of the runtime crediting this film with more depth and intelligence than it really possesses. The cinematography, sound design and moment-to-moment acting is fine, but this film lacks the conviction of Kiyoshi Kurosawa's more lauded works. The characters are odd and almost never react appropriately to what is going on. Several plot points seem promising but lead down frustratingly short paths. I had hoped the overall weirdness was all in service of an interesting big reveal, but the explanation we get is so broadly ineffectual it exposes the rest of the story as a puzzling, rushed mess. This film recycles so much from Cure and pulls out tired crime thriller clichés with such frequency that it's hard not to see it as a fall from grace. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 07/14/23 Full Review Steve C I will tell you what's creepy. How hopelessly and frustratingly stupid the characters are in this movie, aside from the protagonist, to fall for such a transparent antagonist. Aside from that, for a thriller, it's all right.
