Creep 2

Again, one word.....Nutcase!!! Apparently, the review was too short with the one line, so again, I will say , Nutcase!!

The original Creep was one of the biggest, most pleasant surprises of 2015. It managed to feel minimal in its storytelling while being completely terrifying and intriguing. This sequel works as a film. It's definitely less terrifying, but it seems like the writers/director knew that and decided to take a different approach. This feels more of a character study of our main antagonist. Because we know much more about him now, the dread and atmosphere of the first is no longer there and instead we drive further into his psyche. It works in different ways, even if the film isn't as consistent as the first.

Even though I enjoyed this more than the first film, both have to be seen in order to fully appreciate the dark humour and sheer lunacy of this series. I have no idea where the final film in the trilogy is going to go, which is the entire reason for wanting to see more, as even if you guess what is coming next, you are still surprised at the outcome. Events move along very quickly, with some laugh out loud moments and some moments of terror, and it all works so well, but nearly everything Duplass does works well. If you enjoy horror but are not really into the typical crazy-stalker-slasher junk, this series is well worth watching.

Creep 2 is a worthy sequel to the 2014 Creep. It feels like watching a man have a midlife crisis on camera, except this man is a serial killer. We once again see Josef, although this time he isn't trying to kill anyone, rather make a documentary so he doesn't die an unknown serial killer. Sara is a struggling videographer that needs exciting footage to give her career a boost. Both actors play off each other very well in this and keep you watching and always curious about what will happen next. Only thing I was left wondering is when Creep 3 is coming out!

Solid sequel, still good at being unpredictable, but I feel as though the ending was really just leaving a window for a third movie opportunity, which in this case felt cheap, but great film
