first one was pretty straightforward …. the ending made sense and I wasn’t questioning what occurred, Duplass was great. It ends with him watching the footage and saying it gets better every time he watches… feels like we are just him watching the footage again when it ends and get his creep take on why the victim kinda let himself get killed. (Seriously… who just looks straight ahead when your guard is up and pays zero attention to their surroundings?)
Creep 2 … I feel like we are being messed with and don’t know what is real / what is staged, what he’s lying about and what he’s not, how complicit she is or isn’t with what is going on. She shows no fear at things that would make anyone at least flinch (jump scares) a tiny bit unless they were a creep themselves, playing games with our creep.
What stories are real and what is he making up? Which would you like to think are?
What is your take?
He survived and then went after the protagonist again. That’s it. Whether or not he killed her is a different matter.
I hate Creep 2 and the TV series. should have stopped at 1, once Josef reveals hisself the Creep is no longer there it's just a weird nudist man with homoeroticism
haven’t watched the series yet. I liked the second one because Sara seemed to check and one up his creep, until she didn’t .. or until we see what they want us to see in the movie the two of them made.
I really liked the mini series and the creep franchise is one of my favourites
I liked both the first and second, I wish he would have given away more of his agency if he really was trying to tell his story and let her run things but I enjoyed the second movie regardless. The show is half and half, the first 3 episodes are great, the latter 3 are iffy/go in a direction I didn't like for the character.
They still plan on making more so I'm down for it regardless.
it's not worth the time imo
Big agree. Every episode was basically the same premise
I don’t understand the love for the creep series. It’s just a pretentious guy making an excuse to talk for 80 minutes about nothing then kill like 1 person
Snooze
Yeah, when he said he never had sex with a woman, it didn't occur to me that he was saying he was a virgin.
I love Creep and Creep Tales. I love some scenes of Creep 2 and particularly the premise of a serial killer having an existential crisis/depression, but it just didn't work for me.
I did read that at one point Duplass was planning to make a 3rd movie where the Creep and she teamed up, but instead we got The Creep Tapes which was a far better choice!
Was the penis real was it fake? Was the ending before the movie or after?
feels like it’s after the fact, as it’s in New York and the movie takes place in LA .. her hair isn’t dyed anymore, so time has passed. She saw his ad in LA when she contacted him.. says he ghosted her for a while (we assume he’s doing his homework on her) after initially talking. Don’t see how it can be before that first contact .. has to be after. Is he alive and stalking her? Who else would know the tune being whistled? She seems to have headphones in and can’t hear it, anyway.
I never gave a thought to if the dong hang was real or fake.. that is a good question.
it should’ve been 10-15 minutes longer. i felt like it basically ended as soon as the movie was really getting good.
Seems about as straightforward as the first. She was matching his freak up to a point, he tries to kill her but she wounds him and gets away, then we see sometime later he survived and is stalking her. Whether he kills her or not is up for interpretation. But in all likelihood he did, seeing as his passion for it has reignited, thanks to her.
2 is a modern masterpiece in both the found footage and slasher genres. Depicting a serial killer like an artist with a creative block finding his muse is a stroke of genius. I really like the first, but I LOVE the second. And tapes was a fantastic new direction to take it in. Creep has quickly become one of my all time favorite franchises.
