Critics Consensus

A smart, oddball take on found-footage horror, Creep is clever and well-acted enough to keep viewers on the edges of their seats.

Jason Bailey Flavorwire Within its commercial framework, they're taking real chances - and 'Creep' is, in many ways, a puzzling character study in a found-footage horror movie's clothing. May 27, 2016 Full Review Simon Abrams Village Voice Duplass's fantastically unhinged performance establishes what Brice fails to convey ... Sep 2, 2015 Full Review Andy Webster New York Times The film is remarkable, considering its minimal means and surprising lack of bloodshed, given the genre. Does it stay with you? A little. Sep 1, 2015 Full Review David Day Horror Movie Talk Mark Duplass keeps the character of Josef playful and fun, with an undercurrent of danger and seriousness just below the surface. Aaron and his actions are very easy to empathize with, which makes it very disturbing when thing go wrong. Rated: 10/10 Sep 23, 2025 Full Review Jeffrey M. Anderson Common Sense Media It was obviously inspired by other two-hander horror thrillers, but this micro-budget, no-frills wonder gets the job done spectacularly, generating suspense through human behavior and threat. Rated: 4/5 Jun 4, 2024 Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review It’s among the funniest and scariest horror-comedies of this century, blending mumblegore independence with a found footage aesthetic to create a destabilizing, unforgettable experience.

Ennard F The people who hate this movie are people who only want to see exaggerated deaths, and in my opinion this movie is very funny and tense at times; I think it could become a pretty big saga. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 11/25/25 Full Review Jonathan F Wow what an earth did I actually just watch. This as got to be one of the WORSE movie I have actually watched.. Just two guys main talking about nothing exciting , Nothing happens in the movie, nothing to get exited about . Do yourself a favour give this movie a wide berth as it's utter rubbish. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 11/16/25 Full Review Christian M Relax, you’re not missing anything if you don’t watch it. 'Creep' is one of those films that aims to innovate within horror through a more intimate and minimalist approach. On the surface, it resembles a meta-horror movie in the style of 'V/H/S', with that found footage format meant to make us believe everything we see is real, though it doesn’t fully capitalize on its potential. Still, its premise remains coherent within its own language: a camera observing, a confined space, and two characters carrying the full weight of the story. The most notable aspect of 'Creep' is precisely its script and characters. There are only two, yet they are constructed with admirable clarity. Every gesture, word, and decision says more about them than any direct exposition could. There are no masks or embellishments: they are defined by their actions, which makes the character development solid even when the plot doesn’t overflow with twists or major revelations. The story, while simple, is better crafted than it might appear at first glance. It has its layers, its rhythms, and a structure that holds together without losing coherence. Yes, it is predictable—you can pretty much sense where things are heading from the start—but the execution keeps it engaging. Technically, it does what’s necessary. The found footage aesthetic feels natural, without overusing shaky camera movements or visual chaos. The direction favors control and silence, which works to its advantage at several moments. Personally, I didn’t fully connect with the film. It has its merits, no doubt, but it leaves a general “meh” feeling: competent, interesting, yet not unforgettable. 'Creep' is recommended for fans of psychological horror, found footage, and uncomfortable portraits of the human psyche. But if you skip it, you wouldn’t be missing much. Spanish: Tranquilo, no te pierdes nada si no la ves. 'Creep' es una de esas películas que buscan innovar dentro del terror con un enfoque más íntimo y minimalista. En apariencia, parece una metapelícula del estilo 'V/H/S', con ese formato de found footage que pretende hacernos creer que todo lo que vemos es real, pero sin llegar a aprovechar del todo su potencial. Aun así, su propuesta se mantiene coherente dentro de su propio lenguaje: una cámara que observa, un espacio reducido y dos personajes que cargan con todo el peso de la historia. Lo más destacable de 'Creep' es precisamente su guion y sus personajes. Son solo dos, pero están construidos con una claridad admirable. Cada gesto, palabra y decisión dice más de ellos que cualquier exposición directa. No hay máscaras ni adornos: se definen por sus actos, y eso hace que el desarrollo sea sólido, incluso cuando el argumento no se desborda en giros ni grandes revelaciones. La trama, aunque sencilla, está mejor trabajada de lo que parece a simple vista. Tiene sus capas, sus ritmos y una estructura que se sostiene sin perder la coherencia. Sí, es predecible —prácticamente desde el inicio intuyes hacia dónde se dirige todo—, pero lo cierto es que la ejecución mantiene el interés. En el plano técnico, cumple con lo necesario. La estética de found footage se siente natural, sin abusar del movimiento de cámara o del caos visual. La dirección opta por el control y el silencio, y eso, en varios momentos, juega a su favor. Personalmente, no conecto del todo con la película. Tiene sus méritos, sin duda, pero me deja con una sensación de “meh” general: correcta, interesante, pero no inolvidable. 'Creep' es recomendable para los amantes del terror psicológico, del found footage y de los retratos incómodos de la mente humana. Pero si decides saltártela, tampoco te estarías perdiendo demasiado. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 11/11/25 Full Review Ventsislav Y Well that was terrible Rated 2 out of 5 stars 10/28/25 Full Review Trinity R. My favorite horror movie of all time. Funny and psychological. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/28/25 Full Review Paul B Unsettling, good story, good use of "found footage" style, overall great serial killer movie.
