Overview
Looking for work, Aaron comes across a cryptic online ad: “$1,000 for the day. Filming service. Discretion is appreciated.” Low on cash and full of naiveté, he decides to go for it. He drives to a cabin in a remote mountain town where he meets Josef, his cinematic subject for the day. Josef is sincere and the project seems heartfelt, so Aaron begins to film. But as the day goes on, it becomes clear that Josef is not who he says, and his intentions are not at all pure.

Viewing Notes
Creep is a found footage film. I thought I should get that out of the way right off the bat. Love it or hate it, it seems like it’s here to stay. I could write a post or three just about found footage – why it’s used, when it’s done right, and how it goes wrong. Or, I could address those issues in a few words – budget, Rec, Creep. Well, saying that Creep “goes wrong” might be a bit harsh. Like many horror fans, I cringe a little when I see a movie is found footage. This betrays my bias I suppose, but I really did make an effort to be open minded. Maybe I failed. Or maybe it’s just not that good. I guess that’s why you’re here though, so let’s get into it.
