Mister Creep (2022) | If you want to experience true horror, try explaining this movie’s logic to someone who hasn’t seen it. It’ll haunt you longer than the film itself. #jackmeatsflix

My quick rating - 3.3/10. I was recently wondering, "What if a found-footage horror movie was shot by someone who just discovered the zoom function?" Three college students stumble upon a mysterious television broadcast of a long-dead serial killer and decide the best course of action is to hunt down its origin. What follows is a journey filled with poor decisions, baffling logic, and cinematography so erratic it should come with a motion sickness warning. You know how I try to scrape up a decent performance to comment about? Yeah, there won't be ANY of that going on.

First off, let’s talk about the abandoned police station. Apparently, when law enforcement leaves town, they just pack up their coffee mugs and go, leaving behind decades of criminal evidence, case files, and probably a few unpaid parking tickets. Good thing these college kids found it before, I don’t know, literally anyone else EVER. The biggest horror here isn’t the ghostly broadcast or the lurking presence of "Mister Creep"—it’s the camerawork. The film is loaded with so many zooms, flickers, and filters that it feels like a TikTok editing challenge gone terribly wrong. There’s one moment where a terrified woman is crying her eyes out, which should be tense, but instead, the film slaps on so many unnecessary effects that it looks like an Instagram story posted by someone trying too hard to be artsy.



Then there’s the classic horror movie logic at play. At one point, our brilliant protagonists declare, Let’s split up into groups of three! Bold strategy, considering there are only three of them. Maybe they were including the cameraman in the headcount? Maybe the ghost of a better script was supposed to be part of the team? Who knows.

To be fair, there could have been a creepy movie buried somewhere in here if it had just stuck to the basics instead of constantly trying (and failing) to be visually creative. But between the bizarre camera work, the questionable script, and the general amateur vibe, Mister Creep isn’t scary—it’s just a mess. Even the most hardcore found-footage fans might want to sit this one out unless they enjoy feeling like they’re trapped inside a malfunctioning camcorder from the early 2000s. If you want to experience true horror, try explaining this movie’s logic to someone who hasn’t seen it. It’ll haunt you longer than the film itself.
