This is such a believable scary movie, other movies should follow this trend.

Creep is a masterclass of tension and psychological horror. The horror comes from its shady and mysterious killer. This builds on an already mysterious plot about a man who just asks for ‘filming services’, nothing more. Creep leaves you at the edge of your seat and every jump scare catching you off guard and very high tension throughout.

Creep isn’t just a found footage movie—it’s a masterclass in suspense, discomfort, and psychological horror. This film sets the gold standard for the genre, delivering an experience so intimate and unnervingly authentic that it burrows under your skin and lingers long after it’s over. Simply put, Creep is the greatest and most powerfully crafted found footage film to ever exist.
What makes Creep so extraordinary is its simplicity. The premise—a videographer answering a Craigslist ad to film a day in the life of a seemingly eccentric man—seems innocent enough. But from the very first interaction, an uneasy tension begins to build. The genius of this film lies in its subtlety; it doesn’t rely on cheap jump scares or elaborate effects. Instead, it thrives on the escalating discomfort of watching a character whose friendly exterior hides something far more sinister.
Mark Duplass delivers a performance that is nothing short of chilling. His portrayal of Josef is so deeply unsettling because he feels real. His charm is disarming, his quirks are unnervingly human, and his moments of vulnerability make you question your instincts—just as they make the protagonist question his. It’s this push-and-pull dynamic that makes the film so effective. You’re constantly teetering on the edge of unease, unsure if Josef is a misunderstood oddball or something much darker. Spoiler alert: it’s much darker.
The found footage style is executed to perfection. Every shot feels organic, every moment intentional yet spontaneous. The handheld camera work heightens the intimacy and immediacy of the story, drawing you into a world that feels raw and unfiltered. You’re not just watching the events unfold—you’re a part of them, trapped in the same claustrophobic, unpredictable nightmare as the protagonist.
What sets Creep apart from other found footage films is how it uses silence and space. Long, lingering pauses, awkward moments, and Josef’s unsettling unpredictability create an atmosphere of unbearable tension. The film is a study in how much can be achieved with so little—there are no elaborate set pieces, no complex narrative twists, just a razor-sharp focus on character and mood.
And then there’s the ending. Without spoiling it, it’s one of the most haunting conclusions in modern horror—a perfect culmination of the dread that builds throughout the film. It leaves you shaken, questioning how you could’ve seen it coming yet missed it entirely.
Creep is a triumph of minimalist horror, proving that the scariest monsters are often the most human. It’s an exercise in masterful restraint, unsettling you not with what it shows but with what it implies. A film like this doesn’t just scare you—it gets under your skin, making you rethink every interaction, every gesture, every smile.
For anyone who loves horror that lingers in the mind and soul, Creep is an absolute must-watch. It’s a modern classic, a benchmark for found footage, and a reminder of how powerful storytelling can be when stripped down to its bare, terrifying essentials.

No idea why this is rated so high. It’s definitely not bad, but I certainly wouldn’t give it a 91% lmfao it’s kind of boring at times, and feels a lot longer than it actually is. The acting is great, but it’s really difficult to feel any sympathy for the main guy. There are 2 characters in this film. One is the creepy killer, the other is the victim. And the victim is insufferably stupid. Like genuinely one of the dumbest characters in a horror movie I’ve ever seen. He just ignores red flag after red flag from this guy, and just makes horrible, horrible decisions right up until the very end. I love found footage, and it’s worth the watch, but it’s not one of my favorites.
