Mister Creep

I'm a sucker for found footage stuff and typically I do not hold certain low budget elements against a film such as bad acting or mediocre effects or props. This film doesn't have that issue. It's biggest issue is that it's painfully cliche.

From the pointless interrogation tape of Mr. Creep to the clearly deranged old lady with the serial killer obsession you can't help but cringe or go "Oh come on" constantly at every dumb little sequence that has either been done so many times before in better movies or relies too much on the characters being incredibly stupid, it's as if they live in an alternate universe where they've never seen any movies, read any books, or learned anything at all about things like "stranger danger".

Found footage is a very hit and miss sub-genre. The best films it has produced are absolutely incredible and are as pure horror as you can possibly get. When they get them wrong though they can be incredibly dull and unfulfilling. You're always taking a bit of a risk when you choose one to watch. 'Mister Creep' I'm pleased to say was a well made found footage horror film.

The film knows what it is. It's only just over an hour, so it has to get in, get pretty quickly to the point and do its thing. It does just that. There are a couple of truly brilliant jump scares in this movie that got me good. They were extremely well disguised for one thing. If you have that friend who always likes to predict when a jump-scare is coming, they're not going to see these ones coming. And they are leap out of your seat moments.

The movie also does a great job of finding creepy settings for each scene. Old abandoned police stations and random houses in the middle of the woods work so well. And it feels like it is always night time when they are in these places which amplifies the eeriness.

I had a good time with this film. It held my attention and was pretty damn creepy for the duration of the run time. 7.5/10.

So let me start by saying this was a very very creepy film. The choices made by the characters, the acting, logic and writing do not add up nor are we given really any answers as to what is going on. HOWEVER, I thoroughly enjoyed the film. Most scary movies aren't scary. But this one kind of was. The jump scares were terrifying and unexpected. The final scene was horrifically creepy. The characters sucked so I didn't really care what happened to them but I had a major appreciation for how terrifying the wall art was in Vals room. Overall, definitely give this movie a try. Yeah it has some issues but it was really good and will get your heart racing. Trust me there is worse out there.

The Trailer Is The ONLY Way To Watch This Movie, and Let YOUR Imagination Complete It. Then, It Won't Be Written By a Moron. LOL!

Pretty Much EVERY Event In This Movie Is Based On Police Leaving ALL The Evidence and Files Behind, When a Station Closes.

Does That Let You Know How WELL WRITTEN This Movie Was, By An Intelligent Human Being?

And Like ALL Found Footage Movies, We Are FORCED To Listen To The DUMBEST Women Willing To Never Stop Talking and Constantly Ask Questions a 5 Year Old Knows The Answers To. LOL!

And Finally. Mister Creep Looks The Way He Does, Because a Clown Mask Was Melted To His Face? AND He Got Married and Had Kids, WHILE Looking Like This?

Quality, Intelligent Writer's and Filmmaker's Are a Thing Of The Past. This Movie, Like EVERYTHING Now, Is Obviously Made By The Average Person, Who Was Raised On Movies and TV, NEVER Actually Living and Gaining Common Sense Or Knowledge.

Ignorant, Unrealistic Crap Is NOW All We Get. Like This.

So the movie started off okay it was very similar to the movie grave encounters. So I thought okay let's see where this goes. But then immediately it started to fall apart.

The character Val, so it's to become this sniveling character who can barely speak sentences. Makes one of the most questionable moves by herself and then starts to cry barely able to talk. I actually started rooting against her you just so I wouldn't have to hear her doing the Blair witch cry.

The other girl character Beth she's also equally as annoying but in a different way. And at the end once again starts acting like the other female character and just babbling and not making any good decisions.

But as far as bad movies go it's okay so overall meh.
