OMM2024 - Night 30: Creep (2014)

We're almost there! Tonight's movie for #OctoberMovieMarathon is one I've had on my watchlist for awhile. Larry's joining me too!

It's been a blast and if I remember when I get back from Internationals- I might even do a recap/summary of the movies this year. I think that sounds like a fun thing... are you interested?

 

Night 30

Creep (2014)

8/10

Aaron responds to an online ad for filming services at a vacation home.

This movie is a high 8. It's not quite a 9, but it's close! It's another found footage movie which progressively gets more and more awkward and uncomfortable. It's frustrating in the best ways as you wait for the other shoe to drop. I think you could enjoy this either by yelling at the screen or sitting in mounting terror. I love it.

It's so neat to see a stalker story following a guy- give this one a watch. I'm still stunned that one scene, if taken out of context is just silly, is totally scary in the movie.

I really enjoyed how Larry and I were going back and forth about what was happening and how it was going to turn out for the first third of the movie. It does even out and sticks to it's throughlines by the end. But let me tell you- the final scenes- I didn't expect them to show Aaron's demise! And then the sudden short reveal of Josef putting the tape away next to a bunch of others?? Woah!

I think there is a sequel to this movie and I'm 100% going to watch it if it is. This one was so fun.
