Creep (2014)
Movie
Released
Being pleasant to a client becomes a dangerous habit in Patrick Brice's found-footage thriller. The hired videographer keeps making allowances for Josef's intimate requests and abrupt changes of mood, partly because refusing them feels personally unkind. Mark Duplass makes exaggerated openness difficult to distinguish from manipulation. The camera records the awkward little negotiations that allow the encounter to continue.

About Creep
Looking for work, Aaron comes across a cryptic online ad: "$1,000 for the day. Filming service. Discretion is appreciated." Low on cash and full of naiveté, he decides to go for it. He drives to a cabin in a remote mountain town where he meets Josef, his cinematic subject for the day. Josef is sincere and the project seems heartfelt, so Aaron begins to film. But as the day goes on, it becomes clear that Josef is not who he says, and his intentions are not at all pure.
