Review of creep
In Creep, a found footage two-hander starring mumblecore innovator Mark Duplass (Baghead, Cyrus, FX's The League) and Patrick Brice (director of this year's much-ballyhooed The Overnight), the trope of a "wolf in sheep's clothing" is made almost hilariously literal. The titular creep is not a mustachioed guy in a windowless van, but rather the guy who will not stop talking to you on the subway. We're talking the kind of guy who conveys sensitivity and cuddliness in ways that can not help but feel calculated, a mask for something malevolent or, even worse, sociopathic. Oh, and sometimes he wears a terrifying wolf mask.
