1) Creep (2015)
Another found footage horror gem, this modern cautionary tale comes from the mind of American writer-director-actor Patrick Brice, in his directorial debut no less.
Likeable videographer Aaron (Patrick Brice) answers a Craigslist advert to film the unusually chirpy and jovial Josef (Mark Duplass) for a “normal” day-in-the-life documentary, but soon gets dragged into an ominous and deeply disturbing spider’s web of demented lunacy.
What really sets Creep apart from the myriad of found footage fodder is its exceptionally strong writing, gritty realism and surprisingly humorous synergy between the two leads. The acting is superb, with a heavy, impactful climax that will burn itself into your mind’s eye like a glowing hot poker. A sequel was just released, too, so now’s as good a time as any to check out one of the coolest and most original horror movies to come out in a long, long while.
