When a videographer answers an advert of the website Craigslist
for a one-day job in a remote mountain town to video the last messages of a
dying man. The job takes a strange turn when the last messages get darker and
darker. The videographer continues to see the job through, but when it is time
to leave he is unable to find his keys, and when he receives a strange phone
call he finds his client is not at all what he initially seemed to be. (Courtesy

Coming across the film trailer for CREEP I still didn’t know
what to expect upon watching it. On the chance I finally did I was most struck
by the performance of Mark Duplass having seen him in another film THE ONE I LOVE where he was great as well. I was less struck by the way the story was delivered
using rough and shaky camera footage ala BLAIR WITCH PROJECT. Overall I felt
the film was interesting, but didn’t hold my attention all the way through, but
delivered with a splitting end. So for CREEP I give it 3.25 stars of 5 for it’s
casting of Mark Duplass and its unique story.
