Speaker 1: Back to OG Chris. Oh man, this is weird. I
0:32
Speaker 1: literally stared at myself in the mirror for about 30
0:34
Speaker 1: minutes last night trying to re-identify myself. I hope I'm
0:37
Speaker 1: not shocking too many of you right now. I do
0:40
Speaker 1: feel like me though. And that's what everybody's telling me.
0:43
Speaker 1: They're like, oh, it's Christina again. It's Chris again. And
0:46
Speaker 1: then I'm like, Yeah. And I've kind of tried to
0:49

Speaker 1: And this is a limited time offer. So without further ado,
4:09
Speaker 1: let's get back to the video. But first, All right,
4:13
Speaker 1: so for those of you who don't know, Creep is
4:16
Speaker 1: basically a low-budget psychological horror film, a found footage horror
4:21
Speaker 1: film that was directed by Patrick Bryce and was co-written
4:24
Speaker 1: by Patrick Bryce and Mark Duplass. I used to say Duplay,
4:27
Speaker 1: but I heard him say his name and it's Duplass,
4:29
Speaker 1: so it's Duplass. Love, Mark Duplass and Patrick Bryce. I'm
4:33
Speaker 1: big fan, big, big, big fan, okay? And the way
4:36
Speaker 1: I went about making my movie was very similar to
4:41
Speaker 1: this one and a few other found footage horror movies,
4:43
Speaker 1: so I'm excited to get into it and talk about it.
4:46
Speaker 1: But anyway, it's simplicity combined with effective tension building has
4:50
Speaker 1: made it a cult favorite in the found footage horror genre.
4:53
Speaker 1: But some people don't like it. I just don't understand
4:57
Speaker 1: that because I don't know. For me, I think the
4:59
Speaker 1: more simple a movie is the better because there's a
5:02
Speaker 1: lot of shitty movies nowadays. All right. A lot of
5:05
Speaker 1: shitty movies that have massive budgets. that are just tanking
5:10
Speaker 1: in the box office. For example, the Watchers had a
5:13
Speaker 1: $ 30 million budget and they only made 32.9 million. Not
5:17
Speaker 1: that that's not a lot of money, but if you're
5:19
Speaker 1: only making like, I don't even know what percentage that is. 0.1%
5:22
Speaker 1: or 1%. I don't even know. What is that? I
5:25
Speaker 1: don't know how to do math. I shouldn't, I'm a YouTuber.
5:26
Speaker 1: I don't know what you expect from me. But to
5:28
Speaker 1: make $ 2. 9 million off a $ 30 million movie. He's pretty bad.
5:33
Speaker 1: So it's like these movies with all these insane effects
5:38
Speaker 1: and sound and actors and also it's just like, it's
5:41
Speaker 1: just a lot. So being brought back to like almost
5:44
Speaker 1: these like YouTube, like school project type videos, found footage,
5:48
Speaker 1: those tend to be my favorites because I just know
5:51
Speaker 1: money wasn't just like shoved into it to try to
5:54
Speaker 1: make it good. But then again, there are some not
5:56
Speaker 1: so good found footage horror movies. Maybe mine's not that great.
5:59
Speaker 1: I don't know, but it was fun. That was the
6:01
Speaker 1: whole point of making mine. I just really wanted to
6:02
Speaker 1: have fun with friends and try to make a movie,
6:04
Speaker 1: you know, because why not? But anyway, I think specifically
6:07
Speaker 1: Creep is extremely unique. It has a lot of really
6:11
Speaker 1: interesting production facts that I'm going to talk about later
6:13
Speaker 1: as well. And I personally just love the premise. No
6:16
Speaker 1: one knows I'm here. Hi. Oh, I'm sorry. So Creep
6:20
Speaker 1: was made in 2014 by Patrick Price and Mark Duplass,
6:23
Speaker 1: as I said. And Mark Duplass played Joseph and Patrick
6:26
Speaker 1: Price played Aaron. And the runtime was about 77 minutes,
6:30
Speaker 1: which was also such a nice sweet spot because it's
6:33
Speaker 1: not that long and it's not too short, but it's like,
6:36
Speaker 1: I don't know, it just started and ended in a
6:38
Speaker 1: good amount of time, especially for like a horror movie.
6:40
Speaker 1: I just don't love when it's dragged out. And it
6:42
Speaker 1: just so happens to be that mine's the exact same
6:44
Speaker 1: amount of time. Not intentional though. And they worked with
6:47
Speaker 1: a budget of about a million dollars, which sounds like
6:50
Speaker 1: a lot of money, but it really is not at
6:52
Speaker 1: all in Hollywood. And it was distributed by South by
6:55
Speaker 1: Southwest and later distributed on Netflix, which I highly recommend
6:59
Speaker 1: you give it a watch. Even though I'm gonna be
7:00
Speaker 1: going over and breaking down the movie, it's still well,
7:04
Speaker 1: well worth the watch. Spoilers ahead. Because for those of
7:07
Speaker 1: you who don't know, I'm gonna get into the nitty
7:09
Speaker 1: gritty of the movie and break it apart and also
7:11
Speaker 1: just fangirl a little bit. So let's go over the
7:17
Speaker 1: synopsis first. So the film follows Aaron, who's Patrick Bryce,
7:20
Speaker 1: a videographer who responds to a Craigslist ad for a
7:23
Speaker 1: one-day filming gig. The job requires him to travel to
7:25
Speaker 1: a remote cabin to record a video diary of Joseph,
7:28
Speaker 1: who's Mark Duplass, who claims to be dying of terminal
7:32
Speaker 1: cancer and wants to make a video for his unborn child.
7:35
Speaker 1: As the day progresses, Joseph's behavior becomes increasingly bizarre, and
7:39
Speaker 1: Aaron begins to question Joseph's true motives, leading to a disturbing,
7:43
Speaker 1: intention-filled climax. So like I said, spoilers ahead. We're gonna
7:47
Speaker 1: get right into it. So the film opens up on
7:49
Speaker 1: Aaron driving to a remote cabin. He's a freelance videographer
7:52
Speaker 1: hired through a vague Craigslist ad for a one-day filming gig.
7:56
Speaker 1: What could go wrong? You know? And the opening really
7:59
Speaker 1: sets the tone of isolation. Aaron records himself in the
8:02
Speaker 1: car explaining that he doesn't know much about the job
8:04
Speaker 1: other than that it's supposed to be easy money. The
8:06
Speaker 1: drive into the woods emphasizes his growing detachment from civilization,
8:10
Speaker 1: giving the viewer a sense of foreboding right from the start.
8:13
Speaker 1: At first I thought it was filmed in British Columbia,
8:16
Speaker 1: because it actually really looked like British Columbia, but it
8:17
Speaker 1: was actually filmed in California. So, but still West coast,
8:20
Speaker 1: still West coast, very beautiful scenery. So Aaron soon after
8:24
Speaker 1: arrives at the cabin, but finds no one there. He
8:26
Speaker 1: honks his horn and knocks on the door. After a
8:28
Speaker 1: tense period of waiting, Joseph suddenly appears startling Aaron. Like,
8:33
Speaker 1: I don't get scared at movies, but for some reason,
8:36
Speaker 1: the jump scares in this movie are so good. And
8:38
Speaker 1: they don't rely on like sound effects, which is, that's
8:41
Speaker 1: what I love about found footage as well. It's not
8:43
Speaker 1: like that, like, like that obvious, you know? Well, there is,
8:48
Speaker 1: but you know, it's just like volume, less so sound effects,
8:53
Speaker 1: which I appreciate. So I don't know. You, again, watch it.
8:55
Speaker 1: And this moment really establishes Joseph as just this unpredictable... Weirdo, basically.
9:02
Speaker 1: But his unexpected appearance is kind of like playful, but
9:05
Speaker 1: also unnerving. So at this point in the movie, you're
9:07
Speaker 1: just like, okay, cool. Like you feel just like Aaron
9:12
Speaker 1: does in the movie, which I appreciate. And I feel
9:15
Speaker 1: that Aaron- reacts in the same way that you would.
9:19
Speaker 1: It's not like out of the realm of possibility, like
9:21
Speaker 1: when people in horror movies just act ridiculous, like you
9:26
Speaker 1: never would, like leave, leave that situation. He hangs out,
9:29
Speaker 1: he like figures it out, but anyway, I'll get into it.
9:32
Speaker 1: So Joseph apologizes for startling Aaron and welcomes him in
9:35
Speaker 1: with exaggerated enthusiasm, immediately creating an odd... And the next
9:39
Speaker 1: scene is when they're inside the cabin where Joseph explains
9:42
Speaker 1: that he has terminal cancer and only a few months
9:44
Speaker 1: left to live. He wants to create a video diary
9:46
Speaker 1: for his unborn son so that his child can get
9:49
Speaker 1: to know him after he's gone. So in this moment,
9:51
Speaker 1: they're really building that like sympathetic aspect that Aaron has
9:55
Speaker 1: for Joseph. So it's kind of harder for him to
9:58
Speaker 1: leave even though he is a bit weird or Josephian.
10:00
Speaker 1: is a bit weird. It's like, okay, well he has
10:01
Speaker 1: cancer and he's making this video for his kids. So
10:03
Speaker 1: like there's that amount of sympathy, which I think is
10:06
Speaker 1: such a good little piece of like story plot to
10:10
Speaker 1: put in there to keep him there. And Joseph's story
10:13
Speaker 1: about his illness when he's telling it seems pretty sincere
10:16
Speaker 1: and his demeanor is very friendly. And he tells Aaron
10:18
Speaker 1: that his goal is to film personal moments throughout the day,
10:21
Speaker 1: capturing the essence of personality for his future son. This
10:24
Speaker 1: includes strange and vulnerable activities like recording himself bathing in
10:28
Speaker 1: a tub, symbolizing rebirth. This scene is so... awkward, like uncomfortable.
10:35
Speaker 1: I think the overall arching feeling of this movie is
10:38
Speaker 1: just unnerving and uncomfortable. And that to me is scary.
10:43
Speaker 1: Like there's jump scares and like, you know, demons and
10:46
Speaker 1: all that kind of stuff in other movies. But I
10:48
Speaker 1: don't know, just the unpredictability of the movie is what
10:51
Speaker 1: makes it so scary. But anyway, let's get into tubby time.
10:54
Speaker 1: So Joseph asks Aaron to film him reenacting tubby time,
10:58
Speaker 1: a fictional bath time routine he plans to to share
11:01
Speaker 1: with his unborn son. Joseph gets fully naked, which you
11:04
Speaker 1: don't see. You don't see. Luckily, you just see like
11:06
Speaker 1: his upper half. Thank God. Stay tuned for the second
11:08
Speaker 1: movie though. Shit goes down. And he goes into the tub,
11:11
Speaker 1: pretending to interact with his child, scrubbing and singing to
11:14
Speaker 1: him while Aaron's just sitting there like right beside the
11:16
Speaker 1: tub filming him. It's so weird. And Aaron's reaction is
11:20
Speaker 1: captured through the camera showing his growing unease. Joseph's behavior
11:23
Speaker 1: seems to cross normal boundaries, yet his explanation is emotionally compelling.
11:28
Speaker 1: This moment highlights the tension between discomfort and empathy that
11:31
Speaker 1: Aaron feels for him. And so after the bath, Joseph
11:34
Speaker 1: introduces Aaron to peach fuzz, a wolf mask he says
11:37
Speaker 1: belonged to his father. Such a simple premise and also
11:41
Speaker 1: something that was introduced while they were filming. This wasn't
11:43
Speaker 1: even part of the movie until they were actually in
11:46
Speaker 1: the midst of filming it, but it's simply just a
11:49
Speaker 1: wolf mask that is Terrifying. Joseph puts on the mask
11:53
Speaker 1: and performs a strange dance, claiming it's a childhood memory.
11:56
Speaker 1: It is the most terrifying dance I've ever seen in
11:59
Speaker 1: my life. And this moment is bizarre with Joseph's tone
12:01
Speaker 1: just switching dramatically. Like he's like gyrating while he's dancing erratically,
12:07
Speaker 1: all while under the guise of a very like playful
12:10
Speaker 1: performance or what's supposed to be a playful performance. And
12:13
Speaker 1: Joseph's explanation of the mask doesn't really make sense either.
12:16
Speaker 1: And Aaron's unease at this point is phenomenal. palpable. And
12:19
Speaker 1: this scene is kind of the turning point where Joseph's
12:22
Speaker 1: eccentricity starts to feel more threatening. Joseph takes Aaron on
12:26
Speaker 1: a hike to a nearby location called Miracle Waters. He
12:29
Speaker 1: claims it's a special place where his life changed after
12:32
Speaker 1: a near-death experience. The setting becomes more isolated as they
12:35
Speaker 1: venture deeper into the wilderness. Joseph shares more personal stories,
12:39
Speaker 1: many of which are strange and unsettling, like recounting a
12:42
Speaker 1: story about almost drowning. Despite Joseph's friendly tone though, Aaron's
12:46
Speaker 1: discomfort continues to grow. And you do, you do too.
12:48
Speaker 1: Cause they're like going deeper and deeper into the forest.
12:50
Speaker 1: There's no people around. And you're like, oh my God,
12:53
Speaker 1: like go back to the car. But like Joseph's being
12:56
Speaker 1: like very vulnerable and stuff. So it's hard for Aaron. Again,
12:59
Speaker 1: you just feel like you're Aaron and you're like, I
13:00
Speaker 1: don't even know what I'm doing. So the remoteness of
13:03
Speaker 1: the location definitely increases the sense of danger at this
13:06
Speaker 1: point in the movie. And this is also where they
13:08
Speaker 1: like find a rock with a heart in it. And
13:11
Speaker 1: Joseph draws their initials on a rock. So then you
13:14
Speaker 1: kind of think like, Does he, like, love Aaron? Or, like,
13:17
Speaker 1: is this, what, like, what's going on? Is he gay? Like,
13:20
Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean, it's cool, but, like, I
13:22
Speaker 1: don't understand. Like, and it's just, again, like, the tension's odd.
13:26
Speaker 1: But then they end up going back to the cabin.
13:28
Speaker 1: And this brings us to a confession. So later, Joseph
13:31
Speaker 1: offers a confession to Aaron. He admits that he lied earlier.
13:34
Speaker 1: He reveals that he's a deviant and tells a disturbing
13:38
Speaker 1: story about putting on the peach fuzz mask and... his wife.
13:43
Speaker 1: So we turn, we take a Oh my God. What
13:46
Speaker 1: a poorly timed alarm. What was that even for? I
13:49
Speaker 1: don't know. Just to scare me, I guess. I don't know.
13:52
Speaker 1: He then apologizes for not telling Aaron sooner, claiming it's
13:55
Speaker 1: part of his efforts to be truthful before he dies.
13:58
Speaker 1: So he's still trying to like gain sympathy from Aaron,
14:00
Speaker 1: even though he's literally telling Aaron that he lied, like
14:04
Speaker 1: about everything. So obviously Aaron now doesn't trust him and
14:07
Speaker 1: the whole audience is feeling so uneasy and weird. And
14:11
Speaker 1: at this point, it's also getting closer to nighttime. So
14:13
Speaker 1: you're just like... Get out of there! Get out of there!
14:17
Speaker 1: So at this point, I, the audience, and everybody else,
14:20
Speaker 1: and Aaron are feeling very uneasy, and they don't know
14:24
Speaker 1: if Joseph is just manipulating him in this situation or not.
14:28
Speaker 1: So the story becomes much darker at this point, and
14:30
Speaker 1: the friendly veneer that Joseph displayed earlier is now completely unraveling.
14:35
Speaker 1: And also at the beginning of the movie, I forgot
14:36
Speaker 1: to mention this, Aaron sees an ax in the stump
14:40
Speaker 1: just outside the house and just kind of thinks nothing
14:43
Speaker 1: of it. And why would you? Like, I mean, it's
14:44
Speaker 1: like an ax out there on a stump, like, but
14:46
Speaker 1: it just allows that little ominous feeling. Like, you know,
14:49
Speaker 1: it's a horror movies are like, ooh, But then Joseph
14:52
Speaker 1: goes on to tell Aaron that the ax in the
14:55
Speaker 1: stump was just for chopping wood. But he also jokes
14:58
Speaker 1: about it, saying that if Aaron noticed it and if
15:01
Speaker 1: that would put him off, but it didn't. So that's
15:03
Speaker 1: why Joseph liked him and stuff. It's very weird. He's
15:06
Speaker 1: just playing all these mind games with Aaron. But at
15:09
Speaker 1: this point, Aaron is just getting more and more increasingly nervous.
15:12
Speaker 1: But he still stays. And at this point, I probably
15:15
Speaker 1: would have been like, okay, I'm out. And like, wouldn't
15:19
Speaker 1: have accepted any excuses. Even if my car broke down,
15:23
Speaker 1: I'd be just through the woods, you know? So Aaron
15:29
Speaker 1: finally doing what all of us would do and tries
15:31
Speaker 1: to finally attempt to leave the premises. However, Joseph pleads
15:35
Speaker 1: with him to stay, apologizing profusely for his erratic behavior.
15:39
Speaker 1: Joseph admits to feeling desperately lonely and begs Aaron not
15:43
Speaker 1: to abandon him. So now he's just he's playing on
15:45
Speaker 1: his empathy and sympathy again. But Aaron isn't really buying it.
15:49
Speaker 1: He's like, no, I'm good, man. Like, I gotta get
15:52
Speaker 1: out of here. All right. And that's very clear in
15:55
Speaker 1: the movie. Aaron's instinct to leave is like, we can
15:58
Speaker 1: feel it. We're just like, go, go in the movie.
16:01
Speaker 1: But Joseph's manipulation tugs at a sense of guilt. And
16:05
Speaker 1: Aaron even goes to leave, but he can't find his keys.
16:07
Speaker 1: And he's kind of walking around the house trying to
16:09
Speaker 1: find his keys. And then Joseph is just kind of like, weird. Like,
16:11
Speaker 1: are they in your jeans? Are they over there? And like,
16:14
Speaker 1: you kind of know that Joseph knows where his keys are.
16:17
Speaker 1: And you're like, Aaron, seeing that Joseph is crazy to
16:22
Speaker 1: say the least. But that's when Aaron decides to just
16:25
Speaker 1: chill out and go into what Joseph wants. And he
16:27
Speaker 1: agrees to stay. He gives in with a plan to
16:30
Speaker 1: drug Joseph. He actually goes to make himself and Joseph
16:33
Speaker 1: a drink. And he puts in, I think it's like
16:35
Speaker 1: NyQuil or some, I don't know, some sort of Benadryl
16:38
Speaker 1: or something inside the drink. And then he gives it
16:40
Speaker 1: to Joseph and then he sits down to talk to Joseph.
16:43
Speaker 1: And when they're talking, Joseph is saying like, this drink
16:46
Speaker 1: tastes weird. And he's like, I don't know. It's really funny.
16:49
Speaker 1: You're doing good. You get scared the whole time that
16:52
Speaker 1: he knew that Aaron drugged him, but we don't actually
16:56
Speaker 1: know if he knows that he did. So then after
16:59
Speaker 1: Aaron successfully drugs Joseph, he falls asleep next to the fireplace.
17:03
Speaker 1: Joseph does. And then Aaron's awake and he's still looking
17:05
Speaker 1: for his keys. And thinking that Joseph took his keys,
17:08
Speaker 1: he's looking through his pockets while he's sleeping, which is
17:10
Speaker 1: just horrible to watch because you think Joseph's going to
17:13
Speaker 1: wake up the whole time. And then he finds Joseph's phone.
17:16
Speaker 1: So he takes that out of his pocket. And then
17:18
Speaker 1: he goes in to look into his next pocket. And
17:20
Speaker 1: then Joseph's phone starts ringing. And then he runs away
17:26
Speaker 1: with the phone and answers it. And a woman answers
17:28
Speaker 1: the phone and she says, hello. And then Aaron answers
17:31
Speaker 1: and he's like, Angela, which is supposed to be Joseph's wife.
17:34
Speaker 1: The wife that Joseph was talking about that he's going
17:37
Speaker 1: to have that future kid with. But then Angela says
17:39
Speaker 1: that she's actually Joseph's sister and that Joseph is... plainly just,
17:45
Speaker 1: he belongs in the loony bin, basically. And she tells
17:48
Speaker 1: him to get the out of there. And that's when
17:51
Speaker 1: you're like, get out of there. Why are you talking
17:53
Speaker 1: on the phone? I think now's a good time to
17:56
Speaker 1: give you guys a little break and a little sneak peek,
17:59
Speaker 1: a little trailer of my new movie. Roll the tape.
18:05
Speaker 1: We are going to a place called the House on
18:07
Speaker 1: Eden Road. And we just want to know if you
18:11
Speaker 1: guys have heard of that before. I read about a
18:18
Speaker 1: girl going missing like 60-ish years ago. I don't know who,
18:23
Speaker 1: but that's what I read online. I'm going to be honest.
18:25
Speaker 1: I don't feel good about this. How sick is this?
18:30
Speaker 1: Come on. No. Come on. Come on. Come on. So
18:53
Speaker 1: after Aaron gets up and goes to leave, he sees
18:55
Speaker 1: that Joseph is gone from the fireplace and just every
18:59
Speaker 1: ounce of hope drains from Aaron and the audience's body.
19:02
Speaker 1: And you're like, oh my god, where the f *
19:05
Speaker 1: * * is Joseph? And this is where Aaron starts
19:08
Speaker 1: to go around the house looking for Joseph. And then
19:11
Speaker 1: that's when we get this jump scare where he sees
19:13
Speaker 1: him outside on the balcony. And then he just starts
19:15
Speaker 1: saying all this weird shit and you don't know what's
19:17
Speaker 1: going to happen next. And then Joseph dies. bolts off
19:20
Speaker 1: the balcony and into the house. And you're like, oh
19:23
Speaker 1: my God. And he goes and hides. And then Aaron
19:25
Speaker 1: is stuck just looking around the house and trying to
19:28
Speaker 1: get out of the house before Joseph can get to him.
19:31
Speaker 1: And that is when we get, I don't know. For
19:33
Speaker 1: some reason, this is one of the most scariest and
19:36
Speaker 1: disturbing moments in a horror film for me. But we
19:38
Speaker 1: see Joseph in front of the front door with the
19:41
Speaker 1: peach fuzz mask on and he just starts growling and
19:45
Speaker 1: nodding his head and then starts like gyrating his hips
19:50
Speaker 1: and stuff. And then Aaron's like, I need to leave,
19:52
Speaker 1: I need to leave. And then you're like, oh my God.
19:54
Speaker 1: And then they both like run at each other and
19:56
Speaker 1: then it goes to black. And then it opens up
19:59
Speaker 1: on such a good scene, which you think is like
20:01
Speaker 1: the end of the movie, but it's like way too
20:02
Speaker 1: soon to be the end of the movie. But it's
20:04
Speaker 1: Joseph with the camera kind of far away and he's
20:06
Speaker 1: dragging a garbage bag up the hill. And he also
20:09
Speaker 1: has a shovel and he's literally like, it looks like
20:11
Speaker 1: he's digging a grave. So you just assume that Aaron's
20:14
Speaker 1: in that bag and you're like, Oh no! Then the
20:19
Speaker 1: camera is filming a video of Joseph doing that and
20:23
Speaker 1: it turns around and Aaron is the one filming that video.
20:26
Speaker 1: So he's literally being sent this specific video of Joseph
20:30
Speaker 1: burying this trash bag that he sent to Aaron. Is
20:33
Speaker 1: that making sense? Joseph sent a video of himself to
20:36
Speaker 1: Aaron to like help haunt him. So now we know
20:39
Speaker 1: that Aaron escaped. somehow, which we never know, but he did.
20:42
Speaker 1: And now Joseph knows where Aaron lives and is sending
20:46
Speaker 1: him ominous, weird tapes. And Aaron is mildly concerned, but
20:51
Speaker 1: it's weird because Aaron still thinks he's like relatively innocent
20:54
Speaker 1: and that he's just like a sad, lonely guy. But like,
20:57
Speaker 1: for me, I guess because I'm a woman, I would
20:59
Speaker 1: just be like calling the police immediately, which he does
21:03
Speaker 1: end up doing, but they say they can't really do
21:05
Speaker 1: anything because he hasn't threatened him in any very obvious
21:09
Speaker 1: way and hasn't harmed him. So he's kind of just
21:11
Speaker 1: left alone to his own devices. And after the first package,
21:14
Speaker 1: he gets another package that actually has a little stuffed
21:18
Speaker 1: animal wolf inside it. And he tells Aaron basically to
21:21
Speaker 1: cut the wolf open and that there's something inside for him.
21:24
Speaker 1: And so Aaron naturally cuts the wolf open and he
21:27
Speaker 1: sees that there's a necklace inside it with a little
21:29
Speaker 1: heart pendant that he can open up and it literally
21:32
Speaker 1: has a picture. of Joseph and Aaron on the inside.
21:35
Speaker 1: And it's just so creepy. And this would be when
21:38
Speaker 1: Aaron actually calls the cops. And when they tell him
21:41
Speaker 1: that they can't really help him because nothing he's doing
21:43
Speaker 1: is inherently bad. It's just kind of creepy. So Aaron
21:47
Speaker 1: naturally just tries to forget about the whole situation, but
21:49
Speaker 1: then he goes to bed that night and he wakes
21:51
Speaker 1: up because he had a really bad dream. And then
21:53
Speaker 1: he hears something outside of his house. So naturally he
21:56
Speaker 1: freaks the He gets up and he looks around his
21:58
Speaker 1: house while his camera's still on. And we just are
22:01
Speaker 1: waiting for Joseph to show up. And of course he does.
22:03
Speaker 1: He has like a, an appearance at the back door,
22:07
Speaker 1: but Aaron never sees him. Aaron goes outside to look
22:10
Speaker 1: for whoever's out there, assuming it's Joseph. And he comes
22:13
Speaker 1: around the back of his house and sees that garbage
22:15
Speaker 1: is just strewn everywhere. So he just, he just chalks
22:18
Speaker 1: it up to it being raccoons. And then he goes
22:20
Speaker 1: back to sleep, not worrying about it. And then it
22:22
Speaker 1: cuts to the camera on Aaron. So somebody turned the
22:25
Speaker 1: camera on to Aaron in bed and it's obviously Joseph
22:29
Speaker 1: and Joseph gets the camera and he's kind of moving
22:31
Speaker 1: it around Aaron and then he takes a pair of
22:33
Speaker 1: scissors and cuts off a lock of his hair because,
22:36
Speaker 1: you know, as you do. I do it all the
22:38
Speaker 1: time to Caleb, don't tell him I said that. But
22:41
Speaker 1: it's just really creepy, it's just showing that it was
22:43
Speaker 1: Joseph the whole time. And then Aaron wakes up and
22:46
Speaker 1: finds that there is a DVD on his windowsill so
22:50
Speaker 1: he knows that somebody was inside his house that says
22:53
Speaker 1: my last video. So he obviously knows that it's from Joseph.
22:57
Speaker 1: So he goes right to his TV. He puts it
22:59
Speaker 1: in the DVD player. I know you kids probably don't
23:01
Speaker 1: know what that is, but it's a little machine that
23:03
Speaker 1: places little, these little circle discs that have, they have
23:06
Speaker 1: movies on them. It's really weird. It's crazy. We used
23:09
Speaker 1: to have VHS tapes, really big. You had to rewind
23:12
Speaker 1: them before you return them to the video store. Good times,
23:15
Speaker 1: better times. But anyway, he watches the video and Joseph
23:17
Speaker 1: basically explains that he's sorry for everything that he did,
23:21
Speaker 1: that he was the one that saw that he had
23:23
Speaker 1: thrown the gifts that Joseph had give him out in
23:26
Speaker 1: the garbage. So he was the one that strewn the
23:28
Speaker 1: garbage everywhere on the outside. and that he really wants
23:31
Speaker 1: to talk to him and just basically hash everything out
23:34
Speaker 1: in public. So he says, hey, I'm going to be
23:36
Speaker 1: here at this lake. It's a super public place. So
23:39
Speaker 1: if you want to come, that's awesome. If not, then
23:42
Speaker 1: that's okay too. But I really, really want to talk
23:44
Speaker 1: to you one last time. Yada, yada, yada. Basically, he's
23:47
Speaker 1: gaining that sympathy and that empathy that he knows that
23:50
Speaker 1: Aaron has for him again. And even when Aaron pauses
23:53
Speaker 1: the video, he's just like, look at him. Like, he's
23:56
Speaker 1: so sad. Like, you're just like, don't do it. But then,
24:00
Speaker 1: He does. So it cuts to the next scene where
24:02
Speaker 1: Aaron put up his video camera in his car at
24:05
Speaker 1: the park bench in a very public park, like next
24:08
Speaker 1: to a lake. And he films where he's gonna be
24:10
Speaker 1: sitting down and meeting Joseph. And he's just doing this
24:12
Speaker 1: like for his own safety basically. And then we see
24:15
Speaker 1: Aaron go and sit down on the bench and like,
24:18
Speaker 1: I don't know, 15, 20 seconds go by and you're
24:21
Speaker 1: just like, okay, what's going on? And then we see
24:23
Speaker 1: Joseph walking up right behind him and Aaron somehow doesn't
24:27
Speaker 1: hear him. And this is the only part of the
24:29
Speaker 1: movie where I'm just like, how could you not hear
24:32
Speaker 1: him walking? Like there's grass and leaves and sticks and stuff,
24:35
Speaker 1: which this is addressed at the end of the movie.
24:38
Speaker 1: After a few seconds, Joseph pulls out the peach fuzz masks,
24:41
Speaker 1: puts it on from under his coat, and then he
24:43
Speaker 1: takes out the axe from the beginning of the movie
24:46
Speaker 1: from under his coat. And he delivers a murderous blow
24:49
Speaker 1: to the back of Aaron's head and then continues to
24:52
Speaker 1: just axe open Aaron's head while we're just watching this
24:56
Speaker 1: on the videotape. And I love... how quiet it is
24:59
Speaker 1: and just how like you're just sitting there just like
25:02
Speaker 1: slack jawed, like what the actual. And then that I
25:06
Speaker 1: would have been so satisfied with the movie even just
25:09
Speaker 1: ending there. But then we see similar to what's happened
25:12
Speaker 1: before is that somebody's actually filming what is happening right
25:16
Speaker 1: now and Joseph turns around the camera and talks about
25:20
Speaker 1: how he loves rewatching it and that he's confused as
25:23
Speaker 1: to why Aaron didn't turn around and he thinks it's
25:25
Speaker 1: just because he's a really nice guy and that's why
25:28
Speaker 1: he chose him and that's why he loves him and
25:30
Speaker 1: that's why he's his favorite, which then alludes to the
25:33
Speaker 1: fact that he is not the only one that Joseph
25:35
Speaker 1: has killed. And then he proceeds to like, scare the
25:39
Speaker 1: camera one last time and then takes the camera and
25:42
Speaker 1: takes the tape that he had and then puts it
25:44
Speaker 1: up into a cupboard that's full, that's chock full of
25:48
Speaker 1: his previous victims. So he has done this numerous, numerous times.
25:52
Speaker 1: And then you're just left like, oh my God, like
25:55
Speaker 1: this guy's like the craziest serial killer ever. So like
25:58
Speaker 1: really just encapsulates the exploration of human vulnerability and manipulation
26:05
Speaker 1: and empathy. And it's just all of these things mixed
26:08
Speaker 1: in together and just like dread. and anxiety. So I
26:12
Speaker 1: think it just, it did such a good job of that.
26:14
Speaker 1: And then it kind of leaves you on that cliffhanger
26:16
Speaker 1: of a second film, which did end up happening. And
26:19
Speaker 1: Creep 2, I don't love as much as Creep 1,
26:22
Speaker 1: but I did enjoy it. It's essentially the same premise,
26:26
Speaker 1: but it kind of gets turned on its head because
26:28
Speaker 1: in Creep 2, it was also written by Patrick Bryce
26:31
Speaker 1: and Mark Duplass, but it features a woman this time
26:34
Speaker 1: named Sarah. The actress's name is actually Desiree and she's
26:37
Speaker 1: great in the film. I do enjoy it. I highly
26:40
Speaker 1: recommend watching Creep 2 as well. I'm not gonna go
26:42
Speaker 1: into the whole like breakdown of the film, but basically
26:45
Speaker 1: Joseph now goes by the name Aaron, which is obviously
26:48
Speaker 1: the guy he killed in his previous murder. Targets a
26:51
Speaker 1: new victim, Sarah, who he employed through the same thing, Craigslist.
26:55
Speaker 1: to make a film. And Sarah agrees to do the
26:58
Speaker 1: film and once she gets there, she figures out what
27:01
Speaker 1: she's actually filming. And Aaron, Joseph, goes on to tell
27:04
Speaker 1: her that he's actually a serial killer. And Sarah doesn't
27:07
Speaker 1: really believe him in the moment. She's like, yeah, okay.
27:10
Speaker 1: But her whole shtick is that she makes YouTube videos
27:12
Speaker 1: about people and how interesting they are. So this is
27:15
Speaker 1: like the coolest thing ever and gives her a reason
27:18
Speaker 1: to kind of stick around. and make that video. And
27:21
Speaker 1: in advance, Aaron slash Joseph tells her that he won't
27:24
Speaker 1: kill her, that he just wants to make this video
27:27
Speaker 1: before he ends his own life. So she's like, all right,
27:30
Speaker 1: kind of not believing him or not believing him at
27:33
Speaker 1: all until he starts to show her that it is
27:36
Speaker 1: legit and she actually starts to get scared. And then
27:39
Speaker 1: she kind of starts to play on his vulnerabilities and
27:42
Speaker 1: she tries to manipulate him, which is a really interesting
27:45
Speaker 1: twist on what happened at the first movie. I highly
27:47
Speaker 1: recommend watching that video because there is actually a third
27:50
Speaker 1: installment that's happening, which is actually about the tapes that
27:53
Speaker 1: he had in the cupboard in the first movie. And
27:55
Speaker 1: I'm really excited about it. So yeah, I mean, the
27:58
Speaker 1: movie itself is just, so awesome at making the audience
28:02
Speaker 1: so anxious and confused and uneasy. And the minimalism and
28:06
Speaker 1: the stripped down approach of the film is just so
28:09
Speaker 1: raw and interesting. And that's the way I like to
28:12
Speaker 1: watch found footage films. And that's kind of the way
28:14
Speaker 1: I went about filming my found footage film, which is fun.
28:18
Speaker 1: Do I think it's as good as Creep? Probably not.
28:22
Speaker 1: But again, I had a lot of fun filming it.
28:24
Speaker 1: But with found footage, I feel like, especially with Creep,
28:27
Speaker 1: you get that kind of claustrophobic feeling and that anxious feeling.
28:31
Speaker 1: And that's what really makes a good horror film, in
28:34
Speaker 1: my opinion. And rather than relying on like gore and
28:38
Speaker 1: overt scares and those like, those tropey jump scares. It
28:42
Speaker 1: really just plays on like that psychological terror aspect, which
28:45
Speaker 1: I think is great. I think unpredictability in a film
28:48
Speaker 1: is like the best thing you can do. And Creep
28:50
Speaker 1: does that really, really well. And also what I find
28:52
Speaker 1: interesting is like the interesting facts about the film. Basically,
28:56
Speaker 1: similar to Blair Witch, a lot of it was improvised.
28:59
Speaker 1: which is another thing I took out and kind of
29:01
Speaker 1: applied to my movie as well. Like I had story
29:03
Speaker 1: beats for the movie, but we kind of just had
29:05
Speaker 1: fun and improvised, which just kind of makes it feel
29:08
Speaker 1: more natural or that's what made Creep feel really natural
29:11
Speaker 1: in my opinion. Duplass and Bryce had like a rough
29:14
Speaker 1: outline for the film and they just kind of filled
29:16
Speaker 1: in the details organically. And also, like I mentioned before,
29:19
Speaker 1: it was a low budget success because they were only
29:22
Speaker 1: working with a million dollars, which not even a 10th
29:26
Speaker 1: of that was the budget for what I did with
29:29
Speaker 1: my movie. So let that sink in. But they had
29:32
Speaker 1: a minimal crew and they shot it within five days.
29:36
Speaker 1: I believe it was like five to seven days, which
29:38
Speaker 1: is awesome. And I'm not going to how long it
29:40
Speaker 1: took to film our film yet, but I will. It'll
29:43
Speaker 1: be in like the fun facts after the fact of
29:45
Speaker 1: like screening it and stuff. I think it'll be interesting
29:48
Speaker 1: to hear. And the inspiration behind Creep was basically just
29:51
Speaker 1: the unsettling experiences that can arise from the internet-based social interactions,
29:56
Speaker 1: especially on like Craigslist encounters. and Facebook and all that
30:00
Speaker 1: kind of stuff. Like shit is crazy online. So I
30:03
Speaker 1: really liked that aspect of it and the realism of it.
30:06
Speaker 1: But yeah, I think Creep is very underrated and I
30:09
Speaker 1: feel like more people should appreciate it and found footage
30:12
Speaker 1: in general. Some of my other favorite found footage films
30:15
Speaker 1: are Blair Witch Project. Obviously Wreck is really good as well.
30:19
Speaker 1: Paranormal Activity, obviously original is good. The other one's They
30:24
Speaker 1: all right. I also love As Above, So Below. There's
30:27
Speaker 1: a lot of really good found footage films and I
30:29
Speaker 1: think they need more appreciation, you know? And that's why
30:31
Speaker 1: I wanted to make one because I really enjoy those
30:34
Speaker 1: types of movies. So I really hope that you guys
30:37
Speaker 1: can come to one of the screenings that are happening.
30:39
Speaker 1: And I hope you guys enjoyed the little sneak peek
30:42
Speaker 1: of it. We're really excited to show you guys what
30:43
Speaker 1: we made. And as for Creep and Patrick Brice and
30:46
Speaker 1: Mark Duplass, I thank you for some of the inspiration
30:49
Speaker 1: for my film and I think it's awesome and I
30:52
Speaker 1: think you guys, if you're feeling inspired to make something,
30:55
Speaker 1: just do it, you know? Just make it, because you
30:57
Speaker 1: only live once and we got the internet, you know?
31:00
Speaker 1: The internet is a beautiful place and you can kind
31:02
Speaker 1: of do whatever you want to do, which is really cool.
31:05
Speaker 1: But don't make Craigslist ads and kill other people. Don't
31:08
Speaker 1: do that. Oh, I think it was Kevin. Oh my god,
31:10
Speaker 1: it scared me. Anyway, I will see your beautiful face
31:13
Speaker 1: in the next video, okay? Bye.
