Whitney C Sep 7 I enjoyed the heck out of this series. Some episodes were strong than others, but fans of the movies will find plenty to enjoy here. Mark DuPlass is golden in this role. See more Josh A Jan 11 This isn't at the same level of quality as the two movies, but this is still a pretty solid Creep TV show. It's the perfect concept: what was on the tapes at the end of Creep. And it's done well. Most of the episodes are quite formulaic. Someone goes to do a job for Josef, he plays with them a bit, then he kills them. It fits, as that's how serial killers work, and it's cool to see different victims and their stories. There's still a lot of unexplored kills, after all. There are some departures from the formula e.g. Episode 5, which was quite a ride, but it mostly follows the formula. My favourite of the episodes, however, is the final episode. It's pretty normal, showing Josef visiting his mum, up until the final scene. Instead of being panicked, the mum just scolds Josef, telling him he has to bury the body this time. Turns out, she's in on it. And she breastfeeds him at the end. It just drives home how creepy Josef is. I think that's his name. Probably not. Overall, a great TV show that fits the vibe of Creep very well. See more Birithivy Y Dec 28 The Creep Tapes - 9/10. If you’re a fan of the first two Creep films, then this will work for you. For people that have no idea about those movies, then this miniseries will be a little bit of a confusing watch (tonally and narratively). The Creep series does an unnerving thing of mixing in the idea of The Poughkeepsie Tapes, but, with you actually seeing and witnessing what is on said tapes. You see this deranged and dissociative individual as he lures (and eventually attacks) these victims, and they’re all caught on camera. The first two films were more like long form short films, and this series does the smart thing and just show you some of the tapes that are from the collection of the killer that was shown in the end of the first film. Each episode is 20ish minutes of gradual intensity, as you know what will probably happen by the end, but you’re hooked to each episode because of Mark Duplass’ fantastic and hammy performance as the killer. With that being said, there are some episodes that are just okay (namely the bird watcher one and the motel one). But the first episode and the last episode are the standouts, and we actually get some sort of backstory and possible explanation as to why the man is the way that he is. Though probably not as funny as the original films, the essence and tone are perfectly captured and continued here, and hopefully we get a third film in the franchise!

Not sure why a proper Creep III sequel wasn't green-lit, but the dregs they want us to lap up here with this series are pretty stomach churning.
