Creep is a slow burn, found footage thriller starring the always great Mark Duplass but here especially, he is truly on top of his game. For the most part, Mark Duplass has played Mark Duplass in everything he has done. And, for a while, in Creep, that is the case.
However I am pleased to report that does not hold up for long. The deeper into the story you go, the more perverse and strange his character becomes -- suitably living up to the title of the film.
I highly recommend Creep to both fans of horror and the ultra niche mumblecore genre. It’s one of the best films I’ve seen this year.
