Before director Patrick Brice took Sundance by storm with The Overnight, he crafted a weird little horror-comedy with Blumhouse and star Mark Duplass. Creep, as its titled, won a lot of acclaim and laughs on the 2014 festival circuit and has now been acquired by Netflix for release this July.
A World Premiere at 2014s SXSW, Creep sees Aaron (Brice), an optimistic videographer deice to come work for Josef Duplass) after answering his ad on Craigslist. All Aaron has to do is record Josef throughout the day and remain discreet about the entire setup. Josef tells Aaron that he’ll be recording a series of videos for his unborn son, as he’s suffering from a terminal illness and will never be able to see him grow up. While Josef seems strange, the money is too good for Aaron to pass up and he agrees to the task. However as the day progresses Josef becomes increasingly strange and Aaron finds it difficult to tell whether or not some of the things Josef is saying or doing are truly jokes or actually a sign of true danger and mental instability.
Creep will be available on Netflix starting Tuesday, July 14th.
