The Creeping

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...

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.

I decided to watch The Creeping after reading the Dread Central review which called it "A Scary and Classic Haunted House Tale" and I'd fully agree with that. The Creeping is reminiscent of older films from the 70s & 80s that are a bit slower paced but use the time to build up atmosphere and tell a spooky story. There are scares but it takes its time building up to them and is all the better for it. It pays homage to lots of other films whilst still doing its own thing. The performances are all great and the cinematography and sound design work really well. The director was obviously working with a smaller budget than big Hollywood films like The Conjuring but it never distracts from the story. Highly recommended for lovers of retro horror films.

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.

No pun intended - also not what you may think it is ... well unless you think it is exactly what it is ... this being a horror movie, you may guess right I reckon. That aside, the question is: how much of a horror movie fan you are? Because that will determine how much fun you'll have, how much slack you will cut and how far your suspension of disbelief goes.

The acting is ok I guess, but nothing that will make you too excited either. The story or rather the scares are quite predictable. Nothing major ... breaks through here - well apart from that one thing ... well even that does not entirely - but that is a different story and another pun added.
