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.

Let me start off by saying I am not at all a fan of the Found Footage sub-genre, or any other cinematographic project which is shot in first person view. The only reason I've decided to give Creep a try was that I ran out of Netflix English-speaking Horror and I like foreign films even less (nothing racist, heavens forbid, I simply find them more difficult to follow due to the sheer dependency on subtitles). That being said, I'm quite glad I did try out Creep, as it has some very memorable moments and features.First of all, the cast, by which I of course mean Mark Duplass as the creepy and unnerving Joseph. Some actors simply have certain physical and exterior features that when used right make them perfect for certain typecasts. Duplass is absolutely unforgettable as the neurotic and disturbed creep-type, always keeping you on the borderline between pity and sheer terror.The story itself is nice, though too full of holes for my liking (the ending in particular, which was completely unconvincing and forced, you'll know what I mean when you reach it). However, unlike most Found Footage films, Creep uses very little "camera effects" and does so delicately enough to not steal focus from the actual film. Add to that Duplass's amazing acting and on-the-spot role and you get a film that is scary enough to be enjoyed even by those who, like myself, prefer to avoid this sub-genre.All in all, I'd say this film is a must-watch for fans of the sub-genre and possibly rewarding enough for other Horror fans. My relatively high rating is absolutely due to Duplass, I can't stress enough how perfect he was for this part and how amazingly fitting his acting was.

It was amazing. 10/9 would watch again.Some people call it predictable - I disagree. Kaietreon (the other reviewer here) believes the movie is full of horror tropes and that they could produce a better product with their own budget. I'd like to see them try.I chose to watch this movie as it seemed like a good mix of both horror and comedy and I can say I was not let down as much as I am daily by Annalise, she's a bitch.

The "creep" was a master at passive aggressive behavior and mending emotions of the man who was hired to film. Insecurity, curiosity, and fear. The movie was one hour and not a minute was wasted. The ending was excellent. Bravo on shaky camera filming.

With a cast of two people, it would need to be an awesome script with awesome acting to actually deliver something worth watching. It fails on both counts.I watched this because i loved 'Safety Not Guaranteed' and i wanted to see what else Mark Duplass has done. Big mistake. This film was just dumb and pointless. The "scary moments" simply didn't work, and the acting by both the cast was just awful. The only thing that can save a movie with a bad story and bad acting is entertainment value. Sometimes a "bad" movie can still be fun to watch. This fails here as well, most of this movie is just plain boring.
