Creep

Aaron (Patrick Brice) takes a job to shoot video for Josef (Mark Duplass). He's not quite sure what it entails but is in need of the money.

Josef explains it's a video diary for his unborn child: diagnosed with cancer he won't be around after they're born.

The day passes awkwardly. Josef is overly familiar and does some odd stuff but Aaron agrees to share a whisky with him before heading home.

No good will come of this.

Another one off the "best of Blumhouse" list this sparse psychological horror is just two guys interacting awkwardly in a "I'm being friendly only because you're paying me" situation for about half the runtime then turns increasingly creepy.

Another found footage movie it starts off with wild camera swinging but settles down into more watchable "hey somebody has a monopod" camcorder style.

Being a two-hander it relies heavily on the performances and chemistry which are just right. There's intricate detail to the conversations and slow changing of the situation that give it a natural feeling. Nothing is perfunctory.

If you're looking for 'action' there's none at all but there is the odd jump-scare as Josef tests Aaron's boundaries.

Recommended 8/10.
