I'm a big fan of films that carry themselves off with a minimalist cast - and this one has just two cast members (with the voice of a third). It was also written, produced and directed by the two.
Aaron is a videographer that answers an online advert for a days work filming Josef. Visiting his house Josef claims that he is married, his wife is pregnant with a boy but due to an inoperable brain tumour, will be dead in three months and simply wishes to make a "day in the life" style video for his unborn son to see what his father was like.
OK, all seems fine but as you can imagine there is a reason the film is called "Creep" and not "the really nice person". You've guessed it, things get weird and then weirder and it soon becomes apparent that maybe all isn't how it seems.
It's a great journey, Mark Duplass plays the part to a tee and of course most of this film is through the eyes of the camera lens. It's amazing how he gets Aaron to follow and come with him and there are a few moments where the plot could go either way. Either Aaron or Josef could be the bad guy.
All is revealed of course and what we get is a fantastic little flick - Not going to give anything away, but this one is a winner.
8/10 Masks.
