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".

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.

Right, well, I have to admit that I was lured into watching the 2022 horror movie "Mister Creep" on account of it being a horror movie that I had never seen, much less every heard about, and also because I found the movie's cover to be interesting.

However, had I known that this was one of those atrocious found footage movies with insanely lousy camera work all over the place, I would simply have skipped on the movie entirely. Yeah, I absolutely loathe the found footage crap genre.

Now, if writer and director Isaac Rodriguez had opted to go for a properly filmed movie, and thus making an actual movie instead of a home video project, the movie would have been all the more enjoyable, because the script certainly had potential, but was ruined by the shoddy camera work.

Needless to say that I was not familiar with the actors and actresses on the cast list, and in all honesty, despite of this being a lousy found footage garbage heap, then the acting performances were fair.

Visually, then the movie was okay. I was not overly impressed with the effects in the movie. Perhaps because I couldn't distract from the shaky camera that was all over the place.

I am sure that fans of the found footage genre will enjoy the movie. Personally, I just couldn't get into it.

My rating of writer and director Isaac Rodriguez's 2022 movie "Mister Creep" lands on a generous three out of ten stars.

Mister Creep absolutely delivers on the creep factor! This is my second time watching it, and honestly, I liked it even more this time around. Yes, the acting is pretty terrible-way overdone and exaggerated-but that's kind of expected with a low-budget film and amateur actors. Normally, I can still appreciate the effort despite the bad acting, but this one really pushed the limits. That said, the shaky foundation of the backstory didn't stop the overall plot from being pretty solid. Mister Creep and his eerie jingle bell doll are unforgettable-those chilling bells are bound to haunt my dreams! Despite its flaws, the film manages to create a fantastic, unnerving atmosphere. If you're a fan of found footage horror, this one is definitely worth a watch!

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.
