During our last podcast recording session Joe Dust had provided a recommendation
from Netflix for a movie called “Creep”. Never one to shy away from a horror movie
I took the recommendation and ran with it. The movie is indie in every sense. Small
budget, 2 actors but very well shot. I’m typically not a fan of the “found footage”
genre, but with this movie it worked because of the plot and directors steady hand.
Since the popularization of the found footage with “Blair Witch”, I’ve been apprehensive
that this type of movie will feel like a shaky amusement park ride. Not an issue
with this movie. And what truly sets this apart from your typical horror or thriller
are the characters. Right off the bat you’re invested in the character of Aaron 
because anybody can relate to a guy needing a job and taking what they can get. 
Even more so I was immediately invested in Josef’s character because bluntly, you
feel sad for a the guy because it’s revealed right away he’s terminally ill. And
then the psychological thrill ride takes off. My only exposure to Mark Duplass was
through “The League”. And honestly, his character Pete just reminded me a lot of
Jim from “The Office”. Duplass turned a complete 180 from his known character and
shows a whole other side of his acting ability. Even more impressive was the fact
that the movie was barely scripted – the two actors worked from a basic outline 
and improved the rest. They play into our fear that what we are watching, could 
in all reality actually happen to any of us. I’ll never think of peachfuzz or tubbies
the same ever again. It’s the type of movie that sticks with you for a few days.
I highly recommend viewing and as Federal Wildlife Marshall Willenholly would say,“
it’s creeptastic!”
