Fantastic Example of Low-Budget Filmmaking


Two actors, single camera, minimal locations, and mostly natural or practical lighting. They found a way to turn all their weaknesses into strengths.

One of the biggest criticisms with found footage films is when it doesn't make sense for the characters to be filming. Creep takes care of that right at the start. Aaron (Patrick Brice) is a videographer and he's doing a job--so where he goes, the camera goes. From there on out, it's a fantastically creepy series of WTF moments that culminate in a truly disturbing ending. Also had some of the best jump scares I've ever seen because they only happened when you least expected them, never when you did.

Food in Films: Those pancakes at the Billy Bear Diner looked delicious. Made me want a short stack with butter and maple syrup.

I'll take your word for it.

Agreed.

I agree with you in the beginning but I felt it was a little distracting in the second half and not believable he would film all these. Especially when he was trying to escape the cabin.
