Prepared by: Film Analysis Unit Date: April 18, 2026 Subject: Found-footage psychological horror film Creep (dir. Patrick Brice, 2014) 1. Executive Summary Creep is a low-budget (≈$1,000–$5,000) American found-footage horror film directed by and starring Patrick Brice, co-starring Mark Duplass as the antagonist “Josef.” Initially released to the festival circuit in 2014 and later acquired by Netflix (2015–2022), the film became a cult classic for its minimalist setup, improvised dialogue, and disturbing portrayal of loneliness, manipulation, and voyeurism. It spawned a sequel (2017) and remains a reference point for “mumblegore” and digital-era horror. 2.
