[SXSW ’14 Review] ‘Creep’ Will Scare the Sh*t Out of You!
I’m a huge Mark Duplass fan, which started when I attended the world premiere of Baghead back in 2008. Since then he’s become an indie legend of sorts, although he’s always strayed from horror.
Even though Baghead isn’t truly a genre film, it was directed in a way that I knew he could kill it had he decided to take horror straight on. Thankfully, he knocked it out of the park with Creep, which just had its world premiere at the SXSW Film Festival.
“If Creep doesn’t scare the shit out of you, you’ve got a problem,” Evan Dickson so boldly states in the title of his review.
“Without spoiling anything, I would hope that none of us have experienced a turn of events that even remotely resembles what begins to happen in Creep around the halfway point (and keeps getting worse from there),” he adds. “That’s when the film’s tone effortlessly slides into something truly menacing.“

Christopher Landon (Happy Death Day, Freaky) is staying busy here in 2024, directing not only the werewolf movie Big Bad but also an upcoming thriller titled Drop.
The project for Blumhouse and Platinum Dunes is being described as a “fast-paced thriller,” and Deadline reports today that Violett Beane (Truth or Dare) has joined the cast.
Newcomer Jacob Robinson has also signed on to star in the mysterious thriller. Previously announced, Meghann Fahy (“White Lotus”) will be leading the cast.
Landon recently teased on Twitter, “This is my love letter to DePalma.”
Jillian Jacobs and Chris Roach wrote the script.
Michael Bay, Jason Blum, Brad Fuller and Cameron Fuller — “who brought the script in to Platinum Dunes” — are producing the upcoming Drop. Sam Lerner is an executive producer.
THR notes, “The film is a Platinum Dunes and Blumhouse production for Universal.”
