Heather and her friends have some devilish fun on the social website, ConnectMeNet. However, their amusement has come at the expense of a lonely and medicated half-wit, Jerry Tobin. After goading him into humiliating himself on camera in various cruel acts of depravity, they post the clips online for the world to see in a video titled “Revenge on a Creeper”. This ruins Jerry’s meager life and he disappears without a trace… Fast forward a year, and the tables are now turned when Jerry reemerges, off the antipsychotic medication that clouded his thoughts and kept his demons at bay. Now the girls are forced into a nightmarish fight for their lives!
Creeper follows some extremely hot and sick women as they torment a guy who is about three fries short of a Happy Meal over an internet site, forcing him to do what they want him to do. We watch for a good chunk of the movie as this man is made to make a fool of himself and he does so just so he can get to see these girls naked in return. I guess we can’t blame the character THAT much, but as things tend to do, it goes way too far and before we know it, our loveable wacko from the internet is now tossing these fine women naked into the woods before he tries to kill them, all the while broadcasting the results live on the internet. The movie kind of toys with us a bit, because our “Creeper” is just reacting to what happened to him. But it gets hard to not get behind hot naked women on-screen, even if they are a-holes to the highest power. So, don’t be surprised if you don’t find yourself wanting the big guy to still get done-in, even after you’ve seen what has happened to him leading to this point of the movie.
The movie is presented to us by way of filters to make it seem like a Grindhouse movie. This can really add to some movies, but this one doesn’t seem to fit that method at all and I sort of wish they hadn’t of went with that. We get some blood here and there, wer also get some CGI. I would harp on some of the effects more, but this is a movie that knows what its bread and butter is and it isn’t the blood, it’s the nudity. We get plenty of that and I’m sure everyone will be watching and keep watching mostly because of just that. The ladies are evil by all logic, but being a guy who digs women, I just couldn’t hate them. That might make me a bad person, I dunno, but I couldn’t. I will say that Darryl Baldwin is certainly a hulking individual that looks pretty darn scary. Even when we see him eating cans of chilli and doing his business on a portable toilet of sorts. It isn’t a movie that is made to be taken seriously, but at least it isn’t boring. That goes a long way.
