....this series is not, it is just rehashing the basic premise of the films and nothing new is happening here,
I have seen three episodes so far, with no real suspense or creepy dread as in the films, and I was getting bored by the end of the third. They are not funny either, which was part of the absurd charm of the two movies.
I wish Duplass had gone ahead with a third film instead of this series; it is hit or miss like Room 104 was, but that series was brilliant overall; it had different stories each time that were original and complete, while this series is just the same thing over and over again and just not as engaging.

I found out about this through dead meat and wow.. as a fan of the league I've not seen Mark Duplass in much but this is definitely a great starter. I had no idea of how good of an actor he is as well as how quickly he can shift from one emotion to another in a snap. This character is very very interesting especially after the final two episodes, it helps flesh it out more than just a creep who kills. The friend I was watching it with said that the last two episodes ruined it for him because he didn't 'understand it' but I don't think that matters. The first film was filmed as a character study and that's what this feels like. A character study of a weird creepy guy showing how he gets his social interaction. The only main gripe I have with this show is the duration of the episodes, some of them are great at 20-25 mins such as the first episode, however I hope if we get a season two some of the episodes can be extended to around 40 minutes. I feel this would really help build more suspense and give a greater pay off because some episodes felt a little rushed due to the shorter runtimes.
I love the first two Creep movies and I especially can't wait for the third movie, but until then we have this tv series and it was good.
Positives for The Creep Tapes (2024-): Mark Duplass still does a great job with his performance as Josef and he is very consistent in these 6 episodes. There are moments in these 6 episodes that are very effectively disturbing to watch. I also love the variety of different kills that we get in these episodes. And finally, the found footage aspect from the movie translates into the tv format very well.
Negatives for The Creep Tapes (2024-): While I liked Mark Duplass' performance in the series, Josef was a very irritating character. Now I get this is how the character works, but he is so unbearable to watch on screen that I just want to strangle him. The way how he is able to kill these people is really annoying and this is coming from someone who listens the things that he says and he sounds pathetic. It's to the point where I would leave at all cost and even if he tries to stop me, I would kick his butt until he submits like a baby. It's tis aspect alone that makes me question why this series exist aside from keeping peoples interest in this franchise until the third movie comes out.
Overall, The Creep Tapes (2024-) is a good tv spin off to this horror franchise and I'm still excited for Creep 3 whenever it comes out, but the character of Josef kinda tanked my experience with the series.

The Creep Tapes are out 7 years after the release of the 2nd film. It is a weekly show with the first 2 episodes out now on Shudder. Mark Duplass is back as the charming and disturbing serial killer "Peachfuzz" and he doesn't disappoint. Patrick Brice is also back to direct, which I am happy about. Patrick and Mark seem to make a great duo for this franchise. Personally, I am not typically a fan of found footage movies and shows. I'm not crazy about "Paranormal Activity" or "The Blair Witch Project", but with the CREEP franchise it just drew me in. Throughout the movies and the show, one thing it does so well is making the viewer feel uncomfortable and that is due to the superb acting by Mark. I hope we get to see him in more horror movies, he is meant for them. Each episode is a new victim, so it is fast paced. If you liked both of the movies you will more than likely enjoy this series.
Not much to add (if there is any, at all) to all the things which have already been told. If you are a fan of the CREEP movies, you are gonna like it, as well. It's basically almost the same, just in a different entertainment form (tv episodes). The last two episodes add something to the "lore" though, giving the viewers a glimpse into the villain's psyche. I think they were the best episodes, overall.
If you haven't watched any movie of this franchise, know that this is a (really low budget) found footage horror. Horror that doesn't take itself too seriously, but i wouldn't call it a comedy/horror tv show. Mark Duplass is very good here, so, if you are a fan of him, you will probably like it, as long as you know this has nothing to do with the rest of his (non horror) work. It's dark and twisted (especially the last episode is going to some really dark places). I liked it but i can see why someone doesn't like it all. It's too dark for non horror fans and not that scary, for horror fans.
