Review of Creep 2

Creep 2 (2017)
8/10
Excellent sequel (but only if you enjoyed the original film)
2 February 2018
If you are reading this, you enjoyed the original Creep movie and want to find out whether you should take the chance to watch its sequel. If that is the case, I'd say "go for it!".

Creep 2 has a similar storyline, a similar plot, very similar twists, and even simialr locations. And yet if feels different because it is a different movie. And therein lies its beauty.

You can watch the original Creep all that day long, and even though you will recognize the scares on its sequel, you will still fall for those. In fact, in some aspects it has improved, such as (what I dearly) hope a final departure from the shaky cam fashion that engulfed us for so long already. And that is not to say that the movie is not filmed in the same style, but to say that the creators already know that we know that people can hold a cell phone without getting temporary Parkinson's disease.

Unfortunately, in trying to update the formula the creator has gone to a place reserved to Hollywood-style sequels. And that makes the movie predictable somehow. You will understand what I wrote when you watch the movie.

So I am giving this guy 8 stars, which is a great score for a sequel, minus two for the lack of originality towards the end.
