Creep
A videographer accepts a well-paid job to film a wealthy man at his home for the day. What begins as straightforward work devolves into unsettling discomfort as his employer adopts increasingly disturbing behavior, testing the boundaries of trust and sanity. Trapped in an isolated house with a man whose true intentions remain ambiguous, the cameraman discovers he's wandered into something far darker than a simple gig—a descent into psychological terror that blurs the line between performance and genuine menace.
Creep weaponized what other found-footage films had only suggested: that the camera operator's vulnerability becomes the entire grammar of horror. Duplass's unblinking performance—comfortable, persistent, refusing to leave the frame—turned the sub-genre's documentary flatness into a tool for depicting predatory grooming. Where the form had thrived on absence and suggestion, Brice understood that presence and politeness could be far more corrosive. The film's genuine DIY aesthetic sidesteps the theatrical polish that had begun calcifying the found-footage corpse by 2014.
