Creep is a 2014 American independent found footage horror film directed by Patrick Brice, based on a story written by Brice and Mark Duplass, and is Brice's directorial debut, as well. Creep premiered on March 8, 2014, at South by Southwest, and was released on video on demand on June 23, 2015, by The Orchard prior to an international release via Netflix on July 14, 2015.
The film follows Aaron (portrayed by Brice), a videographer who answers a cryptic Craigslist ad, created by Josef (portrayed by Duplass). As they get closer together, he discovers that his client is not who he was expecting.
Aaron (Patrick Brice) is an optimistic videographer who decides to go and work for Josef (Mark 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. After making him wait for quite a while, upon arrival Josef insists on hugging Aaron and insinuates there will be "more of that to come". Josef tells Aaron that he had beaten cancer two years earlier but now has a large brain tumor. He says his wife, Angela, is pregnant and Aaron will be recording a series of videos for his unborn son, as he is dying and will never be able to see him grow up. He tells Aaron that him and his wife are calling the baby "Buddy" and repeatedly refers to "Buddy" throughout the video. Aaron first records Josef in a bathtub pretending to give his son a bath, which he calls "tubby time" and is then asked to come hiking with Josef. While getting a jacket, Aaron is startled by a wolf mask in the closet; Josef tells him that his father used to wear the mask and pretend to be a friendly wolf named Peachfuzz. Aaron accompanies him with the video camera. Josef claims to know of a secret place with "healing waters" and leads Aaron deep into the woods to a hidden waterfall and a heart shaped natural rock pool. Josef writes "J+A" on a large stone with a rock, drawing a heart around the initials. Throughout their time together, Josef repeatedly scares Aaron, excusing his behavior by claiming he has a "weird sense of humor".
