Again, one word.....Nutcase!!! Apparently, the review was too short with the one line, so again, I will say , Nutcase!!

Creep 2 is a worthy sequel to the 2014 Creep. It feels like watching a man have a midlife crisis on camera, except this man is a serial killer. We once again see Josef, although this time he isn't trying to kill anyone, rather make a documentary so he doesn't die an unknown serial killer. Sara is a struggling videographer that needs exciting footage to give her career a boost. Both actors play off each other very well in this and keep you watching and always curious about what will happen next. Only thing I was left wondering is when Creep 3 is coming out!

Even though I enjoyed this more than the first film, both have to be seen in order to fully appreciate the dark humour and sheer lunacy of this series. I have no idea where the final film in the trilogy is going to go, which is the entire reason for wanting to see more, as even if you guess what is coming next, you are still surprised at the outcome. Events move along very quickly, with some laugh out loud moments and some moments of terror, and it all works so well, but nearly everything Duplass does works well. If you enjoy horror but are not really into the typical crazy-stalker-slasher junk, this series is well worth watching.

Both more unsettling and funnier than the first film, this is a noticeable step up. I especially liked the way the subtly shifting balance of power between Sara and Aaron was handled by director and actors, and the opening scene established a clear sense of tension lacking in the predecessor. It only loses its way in the last 10 minutes, which seem a little convoluted and Sara's actions in particular just don't ring true. Otherwise an enjoyable improvement on the solid first film.

I watched Creep and Creep 2 back to back and although the second one got a slightly better rating on here I preferred the first one. Probably because of its originality, the suspense of the unknown. You just don't know what was going to happen or what was going on whilst with the second one you already have a pretty good idea of what's about to happen. Mark Duplass is perfect to play the creep. His facial expressions and his behaviour were perfect to give you the creeps. Good performance from Désiree Akhavan as well. I've never been a big fan of that kind of film shooting, the handycam shots, but I guess considering the story it worked quite well this time. It's all low budget but certainly worth a watch.

This sequel was always going to struggle after the first film came out of nowhere and blew people away with how unique it felt. Most of the original Creep generated its atmosphere from the audience's lack of knowledge about the main character and what his actual motivations were. This time we are aware of who he is and what he is about, so while eager to see what happens this time it would be hard to pull off the same magic with a completely similar plot. Luckily the creators knew this and made enough changes to the dynamic, while still basically keeping it in line with the expectations set by the first, to give a fresh feel to the set up. While they kept in most of the unease that made the first Creep great, they also actually delved more into the main character and his backstory, if he is ever to be believed. This possibly more intimate view of the main takes away a small amount of the tension since he has to become more vulnerable and likable, but it is done in such a way where it is still enjoyable and gripping, and events unfold without too much of an obvious conclusion. Overall it is a worthy sequel, if in my opinion not as good as the original, and is well worth a watch.

The first Creep took me by surprised at how much it bothered me. When the movie was over, I could not stop thinking about the wolf mask, and how it looked as the lead character was walking around the house with it on. It was creepy, it was scary, and it just worked. The sequel, however, was not as scary, but it did enough right to make it an enjoyable experience.

First, the new character (the female) was not that likable, and her acting could use a bit of work. Some of her lines (especially while she was behind the camera) came off without any emotion, and were often flat and lifeless. It was a stark contrast to Duplas' great movement and energy. She was just so "Blah", it really made it hard to connect with her, or care about her circumstances. The film is definitely funnier than the first, and I found myself laughing more than being scared,and while I usually dislike horror/comedies, I do appreciate a scary movie that tries to inject some humor without being obnoxious or catering to the lowest hanging fruit.

Really, the only scares offered by this movie are jump scares, and while some of the movie is definitely unsettling, I really wouldn't classify it as a proper "horror movie". The one saving grace about the film is the ending. I mean, I certainly didn't see that coming, but it did make me smile and give me that sense of unease that I was looking for.

Overall, a good film, but nowhere near the brilliance of the first. While the first movie leaped fearfully into uncharted cinematic territory, this sequel seemed to veer back on the trail, not really blazing its own path. Watch it if you liked the first movie, skip it if you didn't.

The actors of CREEP 2 play their characters convincingly, and they are what made the movie watchable. However, this sequel relied way too heavily on weird psychological tension between the two main characters rather than true horror. The pacing of the film had next to none of the suspense of the first movie. I never felt hooked by the plot, despite the good acting. Even if you liked the first CREEP, this one really isn't worth the watch.

I can't praise this film enough. Being a huge fan of the first film, I never imagined a sequel being an option. The original seemed to close the arc well enough for me to be satisfied.

Despite the fact that a sequel was perhaps not warranted or even necessary, this was an absolute joy to watch. Mark Duplass is in top form as he revisits his "Aaron" character, and with more depth and absurdity than his previous outing. I found this film to be just as strong as the first because we now know some of the intricacies of Aaron, and these are further fleshed out here.

Sure, the intensity may be slightly weakened due to our expectations, and yes, there is much more humor this time than last, but the unsettled atmosphere works just as well here, if not better since the viewer is ever more watchful knowing what we know.

Further, we now have another character that we are instantly pulling for. Desiree is infinitely watchable and truly convincing as Sara, and as the plot unfolds, we can't help but grow attached. I will not spoil any part of this film, since it truly needs to be experienced. I will, however, guarantee that this one will leave you wanting more, which also speaks highly of this film.

I spent most of my viewing time with a smile on my face as these characters interacted with each other. When the suspense and tension hit, it was quick and effective. The tonal shifts work so well that they nearly blindside the viewer within moments. Do yourself a favor and watch this one. If you even remotely appreciated the first film, you will find much to enjoy here.

The thin line between humor and terror in these deeply uncomfortable horror films is fascinating and compelling. It's all about Duplass here; his choices on how to portray such a skin-crawling serial killer are so bold and specific, if you don't buy in the movie will tank. I, for one, dig what he's doing. Maybe this one isn't quite as shocking as the first, but it's still an insanity riddled good time.

Personally I don't think the sequel is as good as the original, but if you've seen the first Creep movie and liked it then you'll probably like this one too. It has a lot of the same creepy elements and the same main antagonist. I think it's a bit more shallow than the first film and doesn't explore the creepy themes to the same extent, but it definitely has its moments that will keep you on the edge of your seat.

The original Creep was one of the biggest, most pleasant surprises of 2015. It managed to feel minimal in its storytelling while being completely terrifying and intriguing. This sequel works as a film. It's definitely less terrifying, but it seems like the writers/director knew that and decided to take a different approach. This feels more of a character study of our main antagonist. Because we know much more about him now, the dread and atmosphere of the first is no longer there and instead we drive further into his psyche. It works in different ways, even if the film isn't as consistent as the first.

After watching Creep last week and being pleasantly surprised (minus the ending) I thought I would give the sequel a go. Understandably, after having a glance at the reviews I could see that it was more on the psychological side rather than being scary like the first one. However Sara's acting was too wooden and it was just not believable. It had the potential to be great and it's a cool concept but unfortunately didn't live up to the expectation I had for it. It would have been a 5 but I added 1 point for the ending. On a positive note though the actor that plays Joseph is great and I would love to see him in other films!

After the ending of the first film, we practically know everything the character was hiding which was the core of what made the character scary, somehow despite this they've managed to make a character who is scarier and more mysterious then ever with a much more vast and interesting story with more of a likable protagonist then the cliche character we had in the last film. I'm interested to see what they have in store for us in the next movie and cannot wait.

When I watched this film, I was anticipating almost a parody of the preceding one. What you get is much more than that! I loved the protagonist we're given in this sequel, and the twists and turns it takes keep your eyes glued to the screen. It's still just as eerie and uncomfortable as I remember the first being, and I loved just about every second of it. The parallels and references to the first film felt like a little treat, and the ending of Creep 2 felt less like a lead-in to a third movie, and more like the ending of an urban legend. A quick watch that I'd definitely recommend!

Before I start, keep in mind that 'Found Footage' is NOT for everyone. I love FF movies because I immerse much more into the characters when well executed.

This sequel was as good as the first one but on a different tone. We explore a bit more the weird/mythomaniac world of Josef/Aaron played by Duplass who is by the way a surprisingly good actor. In fact, both actors did an excellent/convincing job.

Less scary, more psychological was the tone so don't expect much scare jumps.

Creep 2 alone is a solid film. For a sequel to a film that certainly should not have had one, it is a very-solid film. A sequel was going to be difficult with the story set up by the original, and I am glad that they didn't just copy the same formula because that would have certainly flopped.

This movie shouldn't exist, but it does and it is not too bad.

Solid sequel, still good at being unpredictable, but I feel as though the ending was really just leaving a window for a third movie opportunity, which in this case felt cheap, but great film

Equally as good sequel. Tries to take things into some new interesting directions by taking us deeper into the psych of our main dude. The ending is rather unnerving, but not sure if it completely lands it.

So the first movie was pretty much the equivalent of soggy toast. Now they've continued along that line. If you thought the blair witch project had bad camera work, you haven't seen bad till you've seen these movies. On top of that add a "story line" with absolutely no point. If it wasn't for a "handheld home video camera" style to the movie, there would be some serious question as to the acting ability of the "actors". If you've never seen these movies your life is better off. They are definitely for a niche movie watcher. The kind of niche where you enjoy poorly made no budget movies.
