Creep 2

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.

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

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.

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.

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.
