I'm curious, what specifically did you find creepy?
I'm not the original poster, and I can't speak for him or her, but as far as I'm concerned, the majority of the film was creepy.
First of all, the sweetest Meryl Streep's character was, there was something intrinsically creepy about her throughout – starting all the way back from when she was a child. Secondly, let's be honest, Glenn Close's character was always a little creepy.
And certain scenes were done – I suspect deliberately – in a way that left the viewer wondering if something sinister was about to happen. For example, when asked about goes to the house near the end, and cuts on the light, there you have Meryl Streep's character sitting there, very wore out looking, with the blank look on her face, and it's almost as though something horrible is about to happen. For a minute there, it seemed like she was a ghost. Creepy!
There was constantly this sense that there was something lurking unseen, and that any moment, a ghost would come out and harm somebody. The whole film felt haunted. So when you ask what someone found creepy about the film, I'm surprised that you even have to ask. Because as far as I'm concerned, there was hardly anything that wasn't creepy about this film.
Please excuse typos/funny wording; I use speech-recognition that doesn't always recognize!
