Review of Creep

Creep (I) (2014)
9/10
Weird, scary, fun...what is not to like?
19 December 2015
Let me start by saying that I am sick and tired of these "lost footage" genre where everyone who gets a video recording device seem to develop instant Parkinson's disease so viewers are well aware that the film is not shot professionally. I mean, really, we are almost in 2016 and image stabilization is embedded on your toaster, so movie directors everywhere get the friggin grip already! Thankfully, this time we are only going to be bothered by it for a short few minutes at the beginning and here and there during the rest of the movie. So, if you are like me and hate shaky video just endure the first minutes because you are in for a great ride.

The movie has two main characters, and that's all that is needed to make it work. And you already know from the synopsis that something fishy is going on. I don't usually do spoilers and I won't this time, but from the first minute you start watching this feature you are waiting for something to happen. Good enough, because what matters on this movie is not what happens but the ride to arrive to that expected destination.

And what a ride that is! You will be scared (cliche way and otherwise, you'll see), you will feel that someone is weird, and you will smile and maybe laugh. You will get feelings for the characters, and you will arrive at the expected destination enjoying the ride.

I fully recommend this movie for what it is: Good simple entertainment.
