Creep 2

Steve Pulaski

Patrick Brice and Mark Duplass wisely commit to a formula that isn't designed to shock and provoke like the first film; both men seem to know that the tricks in the first film are now well-known and recognized by eager viewers. Because they aren't trying to scare you consistently, but rather heighten your senses, the fun of "Creep 2" lies much deeper, with a lot more psychological and charismatic undertones.

4.5. Duplass Brothers have described "Midlife Crisis" in many produced or directed movies multilayeredly and, in "Creep 2," it synchronizes with boredom of a serial killer so that Dir. Patrick Brice made a comedy-horror movie strange as never before. This is powerfully terrifying yet stupendously hilarious and unmistakably Duplass-ish masterpiece which made me think Mark Duprass is one of best actor in our age.

+ The narrative is entangled, choking itself with a basic allegorical pretension – Duplass always trying to enforce this with his awfully obvious semi-improvised manner. The serial killer element does not dance with «reality»(pronouced as being «any midlife cirsis») during his exposition, but... There is something here about fear and desire that speaks true to me and seems pretty untouched in film.

A sequel that side steps repeating what the first movie did. Duplass and Brice crafts a fun and unnerving drama with more than one trick up its sleeve instead of ramping up the horror and body count. The two leads are great together and the writing is very on point and will keep you guessing where things are going. Sure it might not reach the heights of the first one but still very good. Bring on part 3!

Fantastic movie. Everything the first one wanted to be. Loved the characterisation of the eponymous creep, really felt unique. Loved his idea of killing as transcendental meditation, v interesting.

A rare treat of a horror sequel and found footage film. I have always wanted to see a comedy about a tired killer. This one indulges slasher genre voyeurism while critiquing it. Akhaven's character is a bit hard to believe as real, but she is about as interesting/weird as the wacko Duplass. Unlike Creep 1, Creep 2 is unpredictable. Shout out to TTM representation and that great Xiu Xiu credits song! Bring on Creep 3.

From what I've seen of the Duplasses, they have a little bit of a habit of overexposure on occasion, but at times when it manifests here, it feels like it's in the service of physically real detail. There's a lot of room for discussion about this movie's evocations about film, but its emotional core is the way Duplass seems like he constantly teeters between the choice of kissing or killing Sara.

the first one is still creepier that I had to pause a bit just to ask my brother to accompany me because it was just so disturbing.. it felt so real that made me have few issue with people lol
