A naked girl with a stunning body wakes up in a tiny cage out somewhere. Suddenly the cage is dragged into a lake. Great start for a movie. It reminded me of another extreme horror movie that I'm very fond of--Naked Fear.Then we go a year back. A couple of girls who think highly of themselves decide they've had it with creepy guys online. Now they are going to turn the tables and not be victims anymore, but instead victimize men.They do find a creepy-looking guy online desperate for some attention and affection. They incite the guy to do all sorts of humiliating things. Initially it's mild stuff but it start getting stronger and stronger till they guy is basically willing to do anything they ask of him. The girls record all this and post online. Finally two of the girls decide to take it to the limit and kill this guy. They meet him somewhere then attack and ultimately hang him.The authorities start looking for him and we learn that he is a veteran with mental issues. Of course he just didn't die that easily. He will have his revenge. Now he grabs the girls one by one.That takes us back to the beginning where he throws all these girl out somewhere in the country and terrorizes them. Initially only psychologically but the girls too will put up a fight so things get more physical. Even SWAT and camouflaged warriors show up to grab the guy. Now it becomes an issue of survival for all involved and it does get gory near the end.Creeper is a low budget horror movie that makes up for its deficiencies with lots of enthusiasm, nudity, violence...basically all those things that make for a great horror movie. Sure, acting isn't going to be a strength here, nor is the gore entirely satisfying but the director found a very interesting way to make things gory without actually showing a whole lot of gore. The crew was also aware of its limitations, something unusual for low budget movies. So instead of giving us the obligatory ugly-looking climax at night, we get a movie that is filmed entirely in daylight and a lot of it outdoors. I always thought that horror during the day is more effective than the usual horror at night and in the rain. Fortunately this movie doesn't confine us, like so many low and not-so-low budget movies do, to a room or a house but as mentioned gives us plenty of outdoor scenery.The concept is also pretty original with a male/female role reversal putting a huge guy in the role of a damsel in distress and making him then become the avenger as opposed to the virgin girl. The first 30 minutes or so are somewhat tedious as all we get to see is the girls giggling and laughing as they abuse the guy. It is effective though in getting you to dislike the girls. There's almost a parallel here with the porn industry were a handful of guys pay girls to debase themselves progressively more and more.Things improve once the creeper starts his revenge which has some very witty aspects to it since at first he's more intent on psychologically torturing the girls. There are several shout-outs to famous horror movies. For some reason this was filmed with a grainy/scratchy filter which wasn't really necessary.Creeper seems to be a polarizing film, some enjoyed it, some hated it. There's truth to both sides. But I'm among those who enjoyed this movie a great deal. The crew really did a lot with very little. Kudos to the cast who seem to be good sports. The girls are all lovely and easy on the eyes.

I watch a LOT of horrible movies, even Blood Sucking Freaks is less misogynistic than this abortion. The setup is that a group of women decide that because men send them pictures of their junk that revenge is warranted. That's not a bad premise, actually. But these women are sociopaths. They don't want revenge for their suffering sisters. They want it because they're bitches who like to see people suffer. To call them "mean girls" gives them too much credit. The scriptwriter wants you to know that they are the human scum they spend FAR too much times talking about. Seriously - there's probably a good ten minutes of their contempt for men. To prove this, Gunnoe has them target...a retard. They find him on a cam site and make him their "slave", forcing him to debase himself while they have some unrequited, suppressed lesbian thing going on. They SO horrible, they decide to meet up with him and...KILL HIM! (Gasp!)...because he deserves it. They meet up with him and beat up this 6' 7" giant of a war veteran, wrap a cord around his next and taunt him as he dies. Their plan to get away with it is that he was the aggressor and that "pretty girls don't go to jail." Yes. Gunnoe actually writes that. But he doesn't die. And he's not a "retard". The anti-psychotic meds prescribed to him rendered him barely functional. A year later and off his meds, he takes his revenge in the most ridiculous possible way. He installs an extensive wifi network in a forest and rigs up cameras, tracks the "bitches" down and broadcasts it. The rest of the movie consists of naked women running around a forest. Not that there's anything wrong with that. Gunnoe gives us no reason to suspend our disbelief at any point in this "film". You don't have to be an IT professional to know that you can't just rewire a tablet to "turn it into a GPS tracking device, send out our coordinates for help and now we know where he is." These are women who we come to find can't even figure out a stick shift. Calling the characters one-dimensional does the laws of physics and injustice. Darryl Baldwin's performance as the victim (as Gunnoe would like you to think of him) almost comes close to working but falls apart the moment he has to do something other than look menacing. The women's performances consist of whining or Nazi- like condemnations of anyone who's not them. If there was even a hint of humor or self-awareness in this abortion it might have worked out. Instead, we get and ending with some elite military team which includes a moss-man. I'm not kidding. One sentence review: Sorry about your penis size, dude.

And it should be none.It starts with 2 stupid bimbos wanted to get back at men because they feel mistreated.The conversation they have on this feels out of place and does not fit with these "women" at all.They look like skanks.They get some web cam girls(?)to do there dirty work.They choose some simple person to basically make him humiliate himself while being on cam. Until they of course go to far.It gets even more stupid when they let simpleton return as a sort of intelligent killer.This is simply not how reality works in the really real world.This is a level of stupidity that is just staggering.Bad script,bad actors and not enough production value to even make an attempt to make this movie.Maybe only worthy for the die hard indie movie fans.Dime in a dozen flick.A waste...
