Strapped-for-cash videographer Aaron (Patrick Brice) responds to a web-based job request that takes him to a distant house in Crestline, California. There, he meets his client, Josef (Mark Duplass), a wierd man who wants Aaron to assist him film a video diary for his unborn child, as he claims he’s dying from an inoperable brain tumor. Because the direction for the video becomes more unusual, Aaron slowly realizes that Josef brought him on the market for a really different reason.
Directed by Brice and co-written by Brice alongside Duplass, Creep is a psychological horror that uses the found footage type of filmmaking, with the story being presented through the videos that Aaron shoots. Clever, funny, and very tense, Creep also succeeds at making a suffocating atmosphere and unsettling tone, bolstered by Duplass’s unnerving performance. If you happen to enjoy Creep, make sure to try the sequel, Creep 2.
