The Creeping

I love these movies I happen upon I've never heard of and I get a little scare when I watch. I'm a horror fanatic. I'm so bored and tired of most new horror films. This was a pleasant surprise. I mean I wasn't hiding under my covers, but I got a couple of good little jolts. I also love the lead actress. I thought she was a joy to watch. Very fresh. The main plot was ok, but it was pretty predictable honestly. When you've seen every horror movie you've ever come in contact with, it's hard not to be critical. I'm liking the Japanese and Korean horror these days. The one thing I will say is the ending came pretty uneventful. There really wasn't any big build up.

When I sat down to watch the 2022 horror movie "The Creeping", from director Jamie Hooper, I had never actually heard about it. But with it being a horror movie that I hadn't already seen, then I needed no persuasion to sit down and watch it.

The storyline and script in the movie, as written by Jamie Hooper and Helen Miles, was so incredinly slow paced and boring. There is an insane amount of dialogue to sit through and there simply just isn't enough of anything overly interesting or scary going on throughout the course of the 94 minutes that the movie dragged on for. And I do mean 'dragged' literally. I was on the brink of giving up on watching "The Creeping" just 40 minutes into the ordeal, but opted to endure the suffering in the hopes of the movie picking up in pace and intensity.

I wasn't familiar with the cast ensemble in the movie. But it should be noted that the acting performances had potential, just a genuine shame that the actresses and actors virtually had nothing to work with from the script in terms of plot, dialogue and anything interesting.

If you enjoy horror movies, such as I do, then do yourself a favor and skip on wasting 94 minutes on watching "The Creeping". It is a dull and monotonous viewing experience that doesn't even remotely functions as a proper horror movie.

My rating of director Jamie Hooper's 2022 movie "The Creeping" lands on a very, very generous three out of ten stars, and that is based solely on the acting performances and the production value the movie had, because the script was just simply a swing and a miss.

This piece of monkey poop ist the worst horror movie i've ever Seen. The acting is'nt realy good, except the Grandma. The cgi is 80s trash movie style, the horror ist very very boring. The creators of this movie should be in movie prison for that crime. I laughed out loud multiple times, and the movie had some plotholes that are so incredible dumb. The script feels like it was ritten by Ryan Johnson. Its so bad i raged 2 times and i get to sleep very disapointet and angry. But at least its there for some laughs and to make fun of it with friends an family. I'm very sorry for the actors in it, i already said the acting was bad, but i saw some potential in the main characters actress

2/10.

Don't look at the high ratings as they are fake. I just wasted over an hour of my life watching this trite, cliche horror flick with cgi straight from the 1980's.

The acting is fine, the cinematography is also fine. The story however has been done over a million times and I feel sorry for the actors getting stuck in this movie as they alone did a great job with the horrible material they were given.

You've got to wonder why it seems all the people with zero talent get to make movies like this. The story has been done so many millions of times and to much better effect. I really feel cheated.

Bummer... I was rather looking forward to this one, but all I can say is that it is not put together very well and as suggested by the other reviewer's rather incisive title, VERY uninteresting and uneventful.

The acting is below average, there is absolutely NO tension in the movie. Towards the beginning are the cliched obligatory scenes showing her as a little girl and her father together playing games and such. Totally plastic, totally artificial.

And, this is one of the cases where I REALLY don't care whatsoever about what the theme or main plot is. It is SO bloody uninteresting and absolutely NOT compelling or involving in any way, that quite honestly, you just don't care.

Seriously...

So, the content of my review has about as much substance as the movie does, so that should tell you something... : )

At least in many other cases where the movie isn't made very well or the acting isn't that great, at LEAST there may be an intriguing premise or idea behind it. Here, it just simply doesn't matter...

I'm giving it a VERY generous '4' because the look and photography were kind of nice. But, honestly... that is about it...

I don't say this often in reviews, as a matter of fact I generally don't go to the trouble to leave negative reviews. But, since I had more expectations for this film and others might too, I just wanted to say...

Don't waste your time...
