Creep 2 is just more of the same. And it still works wonderfully well.
Synopsis
A video artist who craves shocking stories realises she has made a mistake when she meets a serial killer in a cabin.
My Thoughts
Less is More, Again
Much like the first Creep film, it’s minimalist less is more style works so well. Just a camera, two people, and a man who smiles way too much. I think a lot of studios might have tried to ramp it up and make it bigger, but here they pretty much just kept it the same, thankfully.
Mark Duplass
What else can I say about him? Mark Duplass plays the role so well, you cannot imagine someone else doing it. He’s all smiles, oversharing, even vulnerable, and then he casually drops something dark into the conversation. And yet you still sort of like him.
Sara Isn’t an Idiot
Sara doesn’t run around screaming or tripping over a tree branch, as she pushes back, she calls his bluff, and she treats him like the weird bloke he is. And watching him get rattled is just as much fun as everything else.
The Chemistry Works
The first Creep leaned a lot on awkward pauses and mumbling, but here, you’ve got a real back-and-forth. You believe the push and pull between them, and you believe he’s unsettled by that. That dynamic makes the film more interesting.
Uncomfortable Horror
Creep 2, again much like the first film, is all about sitting there and realising you’re laughing at a serial killer. You relate to him, then immediately hate yourself for it. One second it’s funny, the next you’re shifting in your seat. You get a real whiplash between comfort and dread.
It Even Feels Sweet Sometimes
That kiss scene? For two seconds it plays like some weird indie romance. You’re almost invested, before you quickly realize you’re just watching a murderer try to find intimacy.
The Ending Knows Exactly What It’s Doing
The film dangles hope in front of you. It almost convinces you this time might be different, and you buy it, because you want to. That subway moment at the end is pure ice.
It’s Relentless in Tone
The intensity never lets up, and that constant tension can wear you out a bit. And I mean that in a positive way.
The Quietness
It’s all very subtle, psychological, and awkward. It’s just a perfect set up and executed superbly.
Occasionally Too Self-Aware
There are moments where you can feel the filmmakers probably grinning at themselves, like, “See what we did there?” Luckily it’s rare, though.
It Leaves You Wanting More
Which is both good and bad. The movie ends and you’re buzzing, but also thinking, “Wait, that’s it?” It’s very effective, but it stops just shy of hitting as hard as it could. But maybe that’s the point?
Is Creep 2 Worth Watching?
Yes x 100.
Creep 2 is just as unsettling as the first film, and still somehow funny without ever turning into parody, and when it’s at its best, it’s one of the most convincing bits of horror you’ll find.
