Creep (I) (2014)
9/10
Surprisingly brilliant
20 February 2020
No this movie isn't a terrifying, gory horror film. But that doesn't mean it isn't good. In fact, it is brilliant.

For starters it is a found footage movie so yes it is low budget. It's just two guys and a camera and some real wacky shenanigans.

I knew nothing about it and had zero expectations. I loved it from the first second to the last.

It has some great creepy moments as the name would suggest but it also has some really interesting moments that hold a mirror up to human nature, both the good and the bad, but not in an overly dramatic or profound way. I guess it's understated and subtle yet not enigmatic in any way.

I found myself drawn in and amazed but this strange little film, and still thinking about it long after I'd finished it.

Creep doesn't exactly fit into a clear cut genre and that's what people both like and dislike about it. I like it. Give it a go if you have an open mind about film.
