While I was watching this film I couldn't help but think to myself. How predictable! But I was wrong. So wrong. In ways, it is very predictable, like any horror/thriller I suppose. However, because this film had a nice spin to it, the predictable bits just didn't matter.
The story line was a pleasant set up for the type of film. A videographer named Aaron (Patrick Brice) found a advert on Craigslist for a one-day job out in a remote location. Why wouldn't he go for it? Okay it's not a great place to find a job, but its one day and he's being offered $1000 to do some filming. So Aaron shows up to this house where finally he meets Josef (Mark Duplass). Josef takes him into his home and explains why he's hired him and that he'd just like him to follow him around and keep the camera rolling. The video is for Josef's son to watch.
So Aaron spends the day with Joseph who is a really sweet guy and loved to talk. But, as the day goes on it seems Joseph has some dark secrets. He's not a eerie guy who you'd be scared of which is good that he doesn't look threatening. He just seems like he needs someone to confide in and Aaron is there to listen so it's perfect. However, like all great thrillers. There's a twist. You need to see it through right to the end. I think it's done so well for a film with unknown actors and directors, you don't usually expect much. But this is definitely a film I would recommend to friends to watch. Just for the 'Creep' factor!
This isn't a film I would say you could watch over and over but it certainly is one to sit down and just watch.
