When “Creep” was originally announced in 2014, it was intended to be a trilogy. “Creep 2” wasn’t as big of a hit as the first film and Duplass was very transparent about how the crew had to work themselves ragged for the film to be as good as it was, but felt “like it wasn’t as good as it could have been.” Now, I’m not here to tell anyone how to feel about their work, but I found “Creep 2” to be even more effective than the first film, but perhaps it was the choice to switch to a woman protagonist, who I’ll always have an easier time identifying with. That film centered on a YouTuber named Sara (Desiree Akhavan), who answers an ad from a man named Aaron (Duplass’ character now using the name of his previous victim) who is looking for a videographer in a remote cabin. Aaron reveals himself as a serial killer, throwing Sara into a fight for her life.
Brice had mentioned back in 2017 that a third “Creep” film would round out the trilogy, but that was seven years ago, so it makes sense that folks would have either forgotten about the new installment or assumed it had died in production hell. Right now there’s no information on where this newest film is heading. Is Sara returning after the ambiguous ending of “Creep 2?” Has Josef/Aaron found a completely new victim to terrorize? Is Peachfuzz infiltrating the furry community with his mask? Will this be a prequel where we see how he stole the name Josef?
Regardless of what direction “Creep 3” takes, we are ready for more tubby time.
