Wonderful character development!
Great Film overall
Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.
The actors of CREEP 2 play their characters convincingly, and they are what made the movie watchable. However, this sequel relied way too heavily on weird psychological tension between the two main characters rather than true horror. The pacing of the film had next to none of the suspense of the first movie. I never felt hooked by the plot, despite the good acting. Even if you liked the first CREEP, this one really isn't worth the watch.
Honestly, I'm a fan of this series. It has the same appeal as the Scream movies, but it takes itself more seriously. I love the escalation of the horror in each movie. The directors don't hold back on the gore, either, which makes it more realistic.
Not much else to say, this movie is worse in almost every single way than the original. A focus on making it "funnier" and expanding on the story only opens a million ways to question the believably of the characters. I was pulled out of the film repeatedly by any character that isn't "Aaron".
CREEP 2 is a lacklustre follow-up to a film which really didn't require a sequel at all, being as self-contained as it was. This is another found footage two-hander about a woman who answers a job advert and comes to work for an exceptionally creepy guy. Given that we now know about the villain there's no need for a twist ending, so violence takes place earlier. However, this is mainly reliant on jump scares and the like which feels very predictable, and more wolf mask antics just feel predictable by now. The twist ending barely raises an eyebrow.
