Tom Nook - The movie reminded me a bit of The Ring, both in terms of the specific mood created, as well as how you are put in the same voyeuristic role as the protagonist, as they watch past horrors and dig for answers, trying to figure out what it all means.

Suprak the Stud 05/18/22 5:34:39 PM #431:	It was weird that the big reveal was that the kids were doing it and that it followed to the new house, which is something I figured out really early on in the movie. But even with maybe a bit of a let down at the end, I thought all the stuff before them fleeing town did a good job. Some of the scares were a bit silly (especially that box one which in retrospect is hilarious), but it really worked for me at least. You know exactly what's going to happen in the snuff films after you see the first one, but there's something still wonderfully creepy about them and they manage to be unsettling even if you know something bad is just around the corner. --- Moops?

Snake5555555555 05/18/22 10:51:39 PM #440:	*21. Creep (266 points)* *Why I Chose It:* Though perhaps merely a cult classic, Creep nonetheless impressed critics with glowing reviews and a top-tier reputation as one of the best found-footage films ever made. With its simple two-handed writer/director duo of Patrick Brice and Mark Duplass, I believe it perfectly taps into the creative-driven world of both independent films and the rise of personal vlogs on sites like YouTube and Twitch - over-the-top personalities vying for our attention, as the film questions who the real creep is - Josef, or the parasocial viewers of such content. Creep has a sequel with a third in development. jcgamer107: 6 Snake: 7 FFDragon: 8 BetrayedTangy: 13 Inviso: 15 PrinceKaro: 15 thesmark: 16 rockus: 19 Johnbobb: 21 Plasmabeam: 21 red13n: 22 fortybelowsummer: 23 Lightning Strikes: 24 Tom Nook: 27 Suprak: 29 Jcgamer107 - WOW was this fascinating. I started this list feeling that found footage had been pretty much played out, but I found this to be very original, and something that would only work as found footage. Mark Duplass is a superb weirdo. I think my one issue with it is that it badly suffers from stupid horror protagonist syndrome - like in Ti Wests V/H/S segment, had the main character simply bothered to check their old footage even once, they would have discovered their stalker had filmed them while sleeping, and couldve had a much happier ending! Peachfuzz is here; theres nothing to fear. Snake - Theres so much I friggin love about this film that I dont even know where to begin - Mark Duplass outstanding performance, impressive shot framing for a found footage film, GOD DAMN PEACHFUZZ, I mean come on! How its just Aaron the cameraman and Josef the whole film, really driving home that connection between the two. How the title is literally called Creep and Duplass can literally manipulate you into thinking hes actually not that bad. This is psychological horror at its finest. Josef is the face of any person in your life who gaslights you, pretends to be your friend, pretends to be affable and charming but is actually a two-faced sociopath hiding right under your nose the whole time. Creep is terrifying because of just how plausible a scenario like this really is. A man like Josef will always be scarier than Michael Myers or even Art the Clown because hes a believable, fully-fleshed out real human being. I first heard of this film as a fan of Duplass in The League (A+ hilarious show btw), and his character in that show is like Josefs fake personality here, or at the very least similar enough - immature, narcissistic, and a bit of a playful trickster. Duplass is always excellent at playing these down-to-earth guys that just adds so much magnetic realism to whatever hes doing. The best and scariest part is - Aaron escapes, or at least he thinks he did. But Josef still gets to him in the end - one last final show of pure horror, Josef proves the psychological torment never really ends when you deal with a person like him. Simply magnificent character work, funny memorable moments, and one of the purest, scariest films on the whole list. FFDragon - Unsettling slow burn at its finest. BetrayedTangy - I liked Creep wayyy more than I thought I would. I mentioned this in my V/H/S write up, but I really dont like found footage movies. Thankfully this one feels like they actually know what cinematography is and put it to good use. Theres soooo many good shots in this movie its ridiculous. Youve got Josef standing outside the door, him at the top of the stairs and especially the last shot of Aaron looking at the lake are all genius and thats just the camerawork! Everything else is a lot of fun too, I think Mark Duplass performance of Josef is the glue that keeps this movie together. I love how he becomes more and more unhinged as the film progresses. Never once does Aaron feel comfortable around him, but all he has to do is get through a single day. Its once Aaron gets home that the real fear sets in. Just because youre not directly interacting with the threat doesnt mean the horror is over. The psychological games Josef plays is a really nice way to create a realistic change in tone for the second half. All around great movie that Im glad I got to see, still gotta check out the sequel. Inviso - First off, glad to see furry representation in serial killer fiction. Second off, #notallfurries. But yeah, this was a strange movie for me, because I didnt hate it, but I didnt love it either. Its extremely unsettling from minute one, with Josef going out of his way to act as crazy and abnormal as humanly possible to Aaron, his hapless victim. The movies pacing is great though. Yes, Josef is unsettling, but up until he begs Aaron to stick around and have a drink with him, he just comes across as a weird dude. Then, up until the phone call from Angela, you still think Josef is only JUST crazy. But then you go into full, psychotic stalker mode, right up until a rather low-key axe murder. Its just a solid slow burn, complete with the extremely creepy scene (with takes full advantage of the found footage style) of Josef just appearing outside Aarons door in the middle of the night. Overall, a decent film for what it is. PrinceKaro - A filmmaker is hired to do an end of life documentary about a terminal cancer patient, who is to put it mildly, a mite eccentric. As he films a series of increasingly off-kilter scenes supposedly for his clients unborn son to watch, he ignores like a million warning flags that any person with half a brain should pick up on. Like if you didn't think it was time to leave after his bizarre bathing of an invisible child, you might have had some clue that there is something wrong with this guy after he shared a story of how he violently raped his wife while cosplaying as the big bad wolf. By the movie reaches its end it really strains the believability that this cameraman could be just that fucking stupid. Why the hell would you just go and meet up with this psychopath stalker, let alone do it all by yourself? Why would you be so absurdly chill in this situation that your 'friend' can just casually walk up behind you and cave your head in? It's just so stupid. Thesmark - This is the one of films here I hadnt even heard of before this, but it was a nice surprise. The first section of the film is a lot of fun because you know this is a horror film and you know everything feels off for a reason, but theres a lot of room to play with a character whos both completely unpredictable and has nothing to live for due to an inoperable brain tumor (or at least, this is what we think). The movie loses a lot of steam in the last 30 minutes along with most of its justification for being a found footage film, but it doesnt overstay its welcome. Creep is a lean mean 82 minute found footage movie that doesnt do anything all that new with the format or where it goes, but the bulk of it is well-executed and darkly funny. --- I've decided to put my fears behind me.

Snake5555555555 05/18/22 10:52:24 PM #441:	Rockus - This probably benefited by watching it right after VHS, which felt like a series of half assed ideas. Say what you will about Creep but Mark Duplass puts his whole ass into this and really commits to character. Some might find it a little disappointing that it doesnt really have any reversals or trick twists up its sleeve by the very end and turns out pretty much how its projecting it will but I at least was glad it didnt throw in some senseless twist, which is worse than no twist at all. Overall, I think Duplasss performance and willingness to really commit to both the sinister aspect and awkwardness of Josef and his creepy neediness is what makes this worth watching. I suppose the real surprise by the end isnt some new twist but the realization that Josefs emotional sincerity wasnt faked beyond all the roleplaying. Johnbobb - fantasy football guys just be like that Plasmabeam - Its a short movie, but it still felt longer than it needed to be. Predictable found-footage tale, although Ill admit I was riveted by the midpoint (the bathroom scene revelation) and chilled by the ending image of all the collected videotapes. Red13n - So there is a person that is a total nutso creep and then a person that is naive enough to believe they aren't a creep. They get murdered in the back for being naive. That is literally the entire movie summed up, but it is actually much longer than that and despite a fairly short runtime certainly feels like it drags this plot out a bit too much. The twist at the end with just the sudden murder was kind of fun, but beyond that you get the gist of what 95% of the film will be within the first 10 minutes and you are stuck repeating it til murder. Fortybelowsummer - Pretty solid take on the found footage genre. Tubby time guy isnt your typical movie mass killer so that makes him a little bit more interesting. Not very memorable, but the suspense was built well as you realize more and more how screwed up in the head the guy is. Like at first, ok hes a weird guy and just lonely or something and eventually yeah, hes a weird guy that kills all kinds of people. As a kid I had nightmares about wolves and although they dont bother me much anymore this touched that nerve a bit. The axe to the head at the end was quite unsettling because it felt very real, like you were watching it happen in real life without any over the top Hollywood gore. I guess theres a sequel to this which I guess I would be down to check out. Lightning Strikes - You were my favourite. A very different kind of found-footage horror film. This one almost starts as more of a drama, thenvevolves into a stalker thriller movie. I have to say, as tired as found footage was by this point, this is a good one. Its not that scary for most of its length, but it does make you want to know whats going on with the Josef character in the first half, before ramping up into increasing suspense all leading to a disturbing ending. I really appreciate the brevity here. At less than 80 minutes its short although it uses that length to not just build some compelling characters and drama between them as well as some nice creepy scenes. I do feel that the length is a slight double-edged sword however. It is a rather slight film overall without much in the way of plot, and it does leave some things unclear. I have to wonder what was going on with the sister, for instance, was she in on it or what? It also, like a lot of Blumhouse films of that era, relies far too much on needless jump scares, especially at the end where he just yells at the camera for no reason which reminded me a lot of Sinisters ending in a bad way. Also, I feel that Mark Duplasss performance, while good, really should have been a bit more ambiguous. It dies make you wonder why Adrian doesnt suspect Josef earlier when hes obviously an evil guy. What does work though is why Adrian doesnt make smarter decisions, why he never calls anybody else, doesnt go to stay with a friend or family member, why he trusts Josef at the end. Its because he, like Josef, is lonely and isolated, and craves the friendship of another human. That aspect makes the themes of the film really come to the foreground and makes it a satisfying thriller you can think about long after the chills have faded. 3/5 Biggest scare: When Josef appears at the door at night, it really got me. Tom Nook - A movie that is almost entirely a 2 character show has a lot of nice potential, because of the heavy dialogue and such. There were definitely some things I liked about this, such as how creepy the villain was at times. The protagonist was a total wimp though, and not even a respectable wimp that Nopes the hell out of places; he was an idiot too. That definitely hurt the movie a lot. I also thought the movie was really lazy with trying to create jump scares out of mundane things and a loud noise...that doesn't add to the movie, and most of them felt really obvious. I wanted to like this movie more than I did. The villain was at least fairly memorable and decent, but not so much that I'd call it a good movie. --- I've decided to put my fears behind me.

Snake5555555555 05/18/22 10:53:44 PM #442:	Suprak - D- I stupidly thought I would watch MYSTERY MOVIE X first to get it out of the way and then, looking at the rest of the list, I would be dealing with either good or at the very least competent horror films I could have fun with. Then Creep showed up and showed me what a truly bad horror movie was because I had gotten comfortable and was having too much fun with this project. I knew from the first five minutes I was going to hate this. When the filmmaker is looking at the camera and talking about how maybe hes going up to this cabin to have sex with some lonely woman, I was like uh oh. I hate this style of movie (found footage film) although it can be sort of fun if the director knows what theyre doing. It was immediately obvious this director didnt, and it was about the point where the creepy dude jumps up at the car window to loudly yell JUMP SCARE that I started clearing out some space for this one at the bottom of the list. Mark Dupliss does a fairly good job as the titular creep actually, which is important since he accounts for like half of the movie. He wasentirely predictable as his character, I think, but I blame that more on the script then him. Like there was no point here that I felt like there was a twist, because he is immediately obvious hes a lunatic from the first time he appears on screen. My only frame of reference of him was as the weird midwife from The Mindy Project, and honeslty I can see a lot of overlap between the two characters. The other guy (who apparently directed the movie) was way less competent. I think it was during the bathroom scene where he is whisper talking to the sister that I went on imdb to see if he had acted in anything else before this because it wouldnt have surprised me if this was his first time acting. He's not good in this, and all the scenes where he points the camera at himself at the end and just talks are not fun to watch and carry no emotional weight. Like when hes talking to the cops supposedly? Like they wanted that scene in there to show he wasnt the dumbest character ever (although thats kind of undone by the ending where he sits with his back turned and checks Twitter for half an hour), but it felt like a fake phone call. Im not sure if anyones seen The Office, but there is this one episode where Michael stages a fake work session to trap Jim and Pam into hanging out with him, and he has a fake phone call where he calls corporate and fake yells at them in front of everyone to act like hes getting them off the hook. Thats the same energy that scene had. I dont know what his real name is. What do YOU mean YOU cant find him? Thats entirely unhelpful! Yes, yes I am saying both sides of this conversation for the sake of the audience? What do YOU mean that is unrealistic? Like he tries for literally fifteen seconds to convince the cops to come check out the murder video and knife he was just sent, and then gives up and just immediately goes to sleep. I was genuinely struggling to get through this. It is only 1 hr 17 minutes long, but you feel every single one of those minutes. At one point I thought I had watched over half the movie, and I paused to see how much I had left, and I had only been watching for 25 minutes. Then I sat for what I thought was another half an hour, checked the time, and only ten more minutes had passed. That was the real horror to me, that I had somehow lost my ability to reasonably keep track of the time and I was mildly worried I was going to sit here for another year, check the time stamps, and see I still had forty five minutes left to watch. There is pacing to set the atmosphere and then there is plodding around knee deep in quickly solidifying concrete, which is where this movie firmly sits. And, honestly, fuck the scares in this movie. This movies idea of a scare is jumping out from behind a wall and yelling BOO at the most obvious fucking time. The climax of this whole movie, the big scare that were all waiting for, hits with all the intensity of one of those SCREAMER VIDEOS AHHHH that your friends would should you way back in 2005. I dont even mean this as an exaggeration, either. At like five different times in the movie, the scare is the creep guy walking too far ahead, then turning around and yelling BOO at the camera right when you know hes going to do it. This is an eighth grader getting a video camera for the first time and trying to make a horror movie level of horror film making, and I was literally rolling my eyes each and every time it happened. Also, Im dont think this movie was meant to be funny, but I found myself laughing at multiple scenes that I think were supposed to be creepy and just werent working for me. Like when the guy behind the camera goes on for way too long about how he peed himself as a child, or when hes recounting to the camera the weird dream he had about a being a baby wolf taking tubby time with the creep character I know these arent supposed to be funny and Im sure there is some deeper meaning here if I actually gave enough of a damn to try to look for one. But I found myself restraining laughter here multiple times, and it happened once again during the big climactic scene where the camera guy sits on the bench like an absolute moron and checks his phone for 12 minutes while the killer slowly walks up behind him, literally drops his wolf mask on the ground, picks it up, puts it on, slowly raises the axe, slowly raises it again, and finally brings it down. He does all of this on the shores of a public lake with like 200 houses framed in the background. I know this was meant to be creepy, and Im supposed to be sitting there screaming in my seat for the moron to turn around. But there is a certain point in a scene like this where it all becomes comical, where I feel like Im watching that scene from Family Guy where Peter holds his knee and sucks in air for like two minutes longer than he should. I hated this movie. The more I type here the more I wind up hating it. There are probably other movies on this list that were a bit dumber, but there werent any others where I was as bored as I was with this one. I was yawning, at multiple times, which is I think sign number 1 that your horror movie has failed. I hate the way it was filmed and how predictable it all was and how dumb most of the story is and how incompetently the horror is handled. The creep guy at least does a good job of being creepy and there were some aspects of the set up that I thought were fine. Thats pretty much the only couple of things that kept this movie from joining the ranks of some of my all time least favorite horror films. Instead, it merely joins the ranks of poorly done independent horror films that I watch once and promptly forget about forever. --- I've decided to put my fears behind me.

[t:80021225]...</cite> <quote>Suprak - D- I stupidly thought I would watch MYSTERY MOVIE X first to get it out of the way and then, looking at the rest of the list, I would be dealing with either good or at the very least competent horror films I could have fun with. Then Creep showed up and showed me what a truly bad horror movie was because I had gotten comfortable and was having too much fun with this project. I knew from the first five minutes I was going to hate this. When the filmmaker is looking at the camera and talking about how maybe hes going up to this cabin to have sex with some lonely woman, I was like uh oh. I hate this style of movie (found footage film) although it can be sort of fun if the director knows what theyre doing. It was immediately obvious this director didnt, and it was about the point where the creepy dude jumps up at the car window to loudly yell JUMP SCARE that I started clearing out some space for this one at the bottom of the list. Mark Dupliss does a fairly good job as the titular creep actually, which is important since he accounts for like half of the movie. He wasentirely predictable as his character, I think, but I blame that more on the script then him. Like there was no point here that I felt like there was a twist, because he is immediately obvious hes a lunatic from the first time he appears on screen. My only frame of reference of him was as the weird midwife from The Mindy Project, and honeslty I can see a lot of overlap between the two characters. The other guy (who apparently directed the movie) was way less competent. I think it was during the bathroom scene where he is whisper talking to the sister that I went on imdb to see if he had acted in anything else before this because it wouldnt have surprised me if this was his first time acting. He's not good in this, and all the scenes where he points the camera at himself at the end and just talks are not fun to watch and carry no emotional weight. Like when hes talking to the cops supposedly? Like they wanted that scene in there to show he wasnt the dumbest character ever (although thats kind of undone by the ending where he sits with his back turned and checks Twitter for half an hour), but it felt like a fake phone call. Im not sure if anyones seen The Office, but there is this one episode where Michael stages a fake work session to trap Jim and Pam into hanging out with him, and he has a fake phone call where he calls corporate and fake yells at them in front of everyone to act like hes getting them off the hook. Thats the same energy that scene had. I dont know what his real name is. What do YOU mean YOU cant find him? Thats entirely unhelpful! Yes, yes I am saying both sides of this conversation for the sake of the audience? What do YOU mean that is unrealistic? Like he tries for literally fifteen seconds to convince the cops to come check out the murder video and knife he was just sent, and then gives up and just immediately goes to sleep. I was genuinely struggling to get through this. It is only 1 hr 17 minutes long, but you feel every single one of those minutes. At one point I thought I had watched over half the movie, and I paused to see how much I had left, and I had only been watching for 25 minutes. Then I sat for what I thought was another half an hour, checked the time, and only ten more minutes had passed. That was the real horror to me, that I had somehow lost my ability to reasonably keep track of the time and I was mildly worried I was going to sit here for another year, check the time stamps, and see I still had forty five minutes left to watch. There is pacing to set the atmosphere and then there is plodding around knee deep in quickly solidifying concrete, which is where this movie firmly sits. And, honestly, fuck the scares in this movie. This movies idea of a scare is jumping out from behind a wall and yelling BOO at the most obvious fucking time. The climax of this whole movie, the big scare that were all waiting for, hits with all the intensity of one of those SCREAMER VIDEOS AHHHH that your friends would should you way back in 2005. I dont even mean this as an exaggeration, either. At like five different times in the movie, the scare is the creep guy walking too far ahead, then turning around and yelling BOO at the camera right when you know hes going to do it. This is an eighth grader getting a video camera for the first time and trying to make a horror movie level of horror film making, and I was literally rolling my eyes each and every time it happened. Also, Im dont think this movie was meant to be funny, but I found myself laughing at multiple scenes that I think were supposed to be creepy and just werent working for me. Like when the guy behind the camera goes on for way too long about how he peed himself as a child, or when hes recounting to the camera the weird dream he had about a being a baby wolf taking tubby time with the creep character I know these arent supposed to be funny and Im sure there is some deeper meaning here if I actually gave enough of a damn to try to look for one. But I found myself restraining laughter here multiple times, and it happened once again during the big climactic scene where the camera guy sits on the bench like an absolute moron and checks his phone for 12 minutes while the killer slowly walks up behind him, literally drops his wolf mask on the ground, picks it up, puts it on, slowly raises the axe, slowly raises it again, and finally brings it down. He does all of this on the shores of a public lake with like 200 houses framed in the background. I know this was meant to be creepy, and Im supposed to be sitting there screaming in my seat for the moron to turn around. But there is a certain point in a scene like this where it all becomes comical, where I feel like Im watching that scene from Family Guy where Peter holds his knee and sucks in air for like two minutes longer than he should. I hated this movie. The more I type here the more I wind up hating it. There are probably other movies on this list that were a bit dumber, but there werent any others where I was as bored as I was with this one. I was yawning, at multiple times, which is I think sign number 1 that your horror movie has failed. I hate the way it was filmed and how predictable it all was and how dumb most of the story is and how incompetently the horror is handled. The creep guy at least does a good job of being creepy and there were some aspects of the set up that I thought were fine. Thats pretty much the only couple of things that kept this movie from joining the ranks of some of my all time least favorite horror films. Instead, it merely joins the ranks of poorly done independent horror films that I watch once and promptly forget about forever. </quote> ... Copied to Clipboard!

While I do think in retrospect a Mike Flanagan film maybe should've been on the list, Oculus would've been the fourth film I considered tbh (Sleep > Gerald's > Hush > Oculus). I like it a lot actually but it's also very samey compared with many others on the list already. Same reason I discounted Hush - a lot of "deprived senses" films here too. In a 40-film list, yeah Flanagan makes it in with Gerald's Game or Doctor Sleep or maybe even both. I went over some other snubs in the sign-ups topic too in case you're curious why something didn't make it. Anyway, next film ranking coming up shortly! My ex cried and mother fucked me when she watched oculus. My kid had nightmares for 3 weeks. And, its just in general a great film.
