Jason Blum and Mark Duplass produce the found footage film
CREEP (2014). Duplass does triple duty
as writer and star (along with Patrick Brice) in this film in which Joseph
(Duplass) is a man dying and wants someone to film his story for his surviving
child. Aaron finds Joseph’s online
inquiry and immediately takes the opportunity which will help him out
financially.
Immediately upon meeting Joseph, Aaron thinks that there
just isn’t something right with Joseph as he’s a bit eccentric and that not
everything he’s telling Joseph adds up.
When Aaron’s car keys go missing he is forced to stay the night at
Joseph’s house and things get even more strange prompting Aaron to get out of
there as soon as possible. But escaping
Joseph’s house is just the start of Aaron’s problem as he soon learns that
Joseph knows everything about him and been stalking him thinking that they are
best friends. Now Aaron must figure out
how to handle Joseph’s unwanted friendship before things get really out of hand
amid mounting danger.
The whole film is shot as if it was from Aaron’s camera as
part of Joseph’s video but once Aaron leave’s Joseph it becomes Aaron’s way of
coping with the strange situation he finds himself in and a document of what is
really going on. Duplass does an
excellent job crafting a unique and creepy character while Brice’s Aaron is the
every man.
The film may not keep you on the edge of your seat in a
suspenseful way but it more than makes up for it in terms of the “creep” factor
so if that is the type of film you’re looking for then this one is it.
