Episode 3 of Creep takes the series to even stranger heights. I really appreciated the religious elements woven into the story, which added a unique layer to the narrative. Once again, Mark Duplass proves just how perfect he is for this role, delivering a performance that is both unsettling and captivating.

If I had one critique, it would be the choice of setting. I couldn't help but wish the episode had taken place in an abandoned church-it would have created a more atmospheric and chilling backdrop than the house.

That said, the performances remain as bizarre and disturbing as ever, pushing the boundaries of discomfort in all the right ways. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed this episode and can't wait to see where the story goes next.

The Creep Tapes are really starting to pick up for me, as Mark Duplass's disorienting and purposefully inconsistent performances hit a new stride when he dons the mantle of a priest toying with a failing Youtuber for his channel.

We get to see that the Creep, who goes by the name "Father Tom Durkin" in this one, has a basic grasp on Christianity, although he very clearly misses his cue as a priest, which the YouTuber can quickly see through.

It's great, it's shocking, and it's a fun exploration into the Creep's understanding of religion AND his backstory. We get to see some patterns start to form. Peachfuzz's weird grindy dance on the door and even some Tubby Time.

This episode will keep you on your toes.
