Looking for work, Aaron comes across a cryptic online ad: “$1,000 for the day. Filming service. Discretion is appreciated.” Low on cash and full of naiveté, he decides to go for it. He drives to a cabin in a remote mountain town where he meets Josef, his cinematic subject for the day. Josef is sincere and the project seems heartfelt, so Aaron begins to film. But as the day goes on, it becomes clear that Josef is not who he says, and his intentions are not at all pure.

Doomtomylo a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.
Roy Hart If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.
Brennan Camacho Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.
Curt Watching it is like watching the spectacle of a class clown at their best: you laugh at their jokes, instigate their defiance, and "ooooh" when they get in trouble.
lukandkilt Not all movies require a sense of purpose, but I think Creep could've benefited from one. Though disturbing its intrigue never pays off.
benghostfreek I personally don't LOVE found footage style filming but from start to finish I couldn't look away from the screen. Plus both actors are PHENOMENAL in these roles
jackmeat My quick rating - 4,7/10. I don't know. A movie that has the "good" and the "bad" reaching so far extremes makes rating ti difficult. First off, handicam movies are not a novelty anymore, and I am sick of MOST of them. Yes there are some good ones, "Chronicle" reached the plateau, but most of them think it is still something new. Bad news it is not. At least the story of this movie warranted it being used, though which is a lot more than I can say for "Phoenix Forgotten" Ok, I should stick with this movie. The acting is above average for sure. Mark Duplass does a great job of making the dialogue and facial expressions creepy, yet so believable. His character is almost unnerving in how it seems like the everyday guy you see at the grocery store. Also Patrick Brice as the one who answers the ad for a single day job of videotaping this guy for a $1000 bucks does a really good job with adapting to the strangeness of what is going on. Oh, and since those two also wrote this, I am sure it kind of flowed for them as to what they were thinking as they wrote the story. Get used to those two, they are the only characters in the movie (minus a female voice on the phone). Yet they carried out the story well. The bad news is, there wasn't much to the story and if you read other reviews, don't expect some smack in the face ending. I'd say check it out for the acting but don't expect much beyond that.
jadavix "Creep" is a classic, one of the best horror movies of the new millennium. Mark Duplass is superb in his role of Josef, perhaps the titular "creep". The found footage thing gets a bad rap, but it has been done to superb effect before: consider "Man Bites Dog", "Blair Witch Project", "Paranormal Activity", and the short film "Safe Haven". "Creep" is another classic to add to this list.The film really only involves two actors, and I was surprised, in a sense, to hear that it is mostly improvised. Before watching "Creep", I would have had a hard time imagining improvisation working in a horror movie. It seems like you could all too easily stray from the fearsome undercurrent each scene is supposed to carry with it - or, you could try to make everything you say scary, and thus merely become ridiculous.It must have been a tightrope, but Duplass and Brice were more than up to the challenge."Creep" has possibly the most naturalistic acting seen in a found footage film since "Blair Witch".
