November 15th 2024.
In the latest news, the highly anticipated Creep Tapes have finally arrived on Shudder, providing audiences with a continuation of the twisted tale of a demented serial killer that was first introduced in the 2014 horror film, Creep.
The original film, created by Patrick Brice and Mark Duplass, sparked a found footage phenomenon and followed the story of Josef, a deranged killer who hires a struggling filmmaker named Aaron to document his dying days and leave a message for his unborn son. But as Aaron delves deeper into Josef's life, he discovers a sinister side to him that is both eccentric and dangerous.
After its premiere at South by Southwest in 2014, Creep received rave reviews and was met with great success, leading to a sequel in 2017. The sequel, titled Creep 2, saw Josef in the midst of a midlife crisis and growing disappointed with his killings. He then hires Sara, a videographer, and promises to spare her life if she films a documentary about him.
Fans of the franchise will be pleased to know that a third film is in the works, but for now, they can enjoy The Creep Tapes, a six-episode series that has just debuted on Shudder. Mark Duplass returns to reprise his role as Josef, or whatever new name he goes by now, as he claims six new victims throughout the series.
Drawing from Josef's extensive collection of "murder tapes," The Creep Tapes delves into the origins of the prolific killer and his twisted mind. Each episode follows a new cat-and-mouse game between Josef and his latest victim. The first two episodes are already available to stream, with the remaining four episodes dropping every Friday.
Early reviews have already dubbed The Creep Tapes as "one of the best of the year," with some calling it "innovative" and a "work of art." Critics have praised Duplass' performance as the titular creep, with AV Club stating that the series "transcends its content-mill trappings and becomes something approaching a work of art."
Other reviews from Bloody Disgusting and Dread Central also highlight the series' dark humor and ability to keep audiences on edge. Fans who attended Fantastic Fest 2024 have raved about the first three episodes, with one saying that it's "easily going to be my favorite TV show of the year."
Many have praised Duplass' performance as the mysterious and unhinged killer, with some calling it "unhinged, hilarious, scary, and shockingly horny." Jarrod Jones, from The Togetherness, adds that The Creep Tapes is "an inventive and fascinating expansion of the gnarly serial killer film series."
In a recent interview, Duplass expressed his excitement about returning to the Creep franchise after ten years since the first film's release. He revealed that he deeply connects with the process of making movies and TV in a more low-budget and hands-on manner, similar to how he did with his brother and Patrick Brice when they were younger.
He also shared his love for playing something completely limitless and different from his usual roles, stating that he never thought he'd be making horror films. But he sees it as a way to grow as an artist and not repeat himself, making it a fresh and new experience for him.
The first two episodes of The Creep Tapes are currently available to stream on Shudder, with future episodes releasing every Friday. So make sure to tune in and join the creepy and captivating world of Josef and his alter-ego, Peachfuzz. For more updates and news on the entertainment world, don't hesitate to reach out to us.
