The Creep Tapes Season 2 Review – Streaming on Shudder

Everyone’s favourite (and demented) serial killer Peachfuzz is back as Mark Duplass and Patrick Brice return for a second season of the found footage horror anthology series The Creep Tapes. A copycat killer. A Saw inspired game. A fucked-up Christmas eve. And an even more fucked-up exploration into Peachfuzz’s past make up one devlish and twisted time that lends a little more into the dark humour this time around.

Six episodes make up this latest instalment in the series, all clocking at about 20-25 minutes, for fast-paced, bite size pieces of gory horror goodness that sicko horror fans will have a great time with.

Brice and Duplass, who together have worked on both film versions of Creep and both seasons of The Creep Tapes are clearly having a great time exploring new ways to bring Peachfuzz’s uncomfortably entertaining serial killer antics to the screen, utilising the anthology format to not only try unique, new things, but also build a cool world and develop new lore around the slasher sentiments.

The first episode, featuring the incredible David Dastmalchan, is a great re-entry into the world with a story that will reward fans of the franchise with a great twist and flip on the first film’s narrative, full of callbacks and Easter eggs that will undoubtedly delight diehard Creep-heads. From there, the twisted, unsettling found footage shenanigans do not disappoint, as Brice and Duplass utilise fun, exciting new techniques that haven’t been seen in the franchise yet, including immersive use of GoPros and police bodycams to create a riveting experience.

Once again not shying away from the slasher nature of the premise, there is some decent violence, blood and gore throughout that is shocking, but sometimes a little limited by the low budgeted nature of the production, which isn’t the first time this franchise has faced this issue, but it also works in favour of its gritty appeal.

The Creep Tapes season two feels a lot funnier this time around. Duplass is truly uninhibited as Peachfuzz, and there are some darkly disturbing things he does (and gets people to do), that you won’t be able to help laugh at due to how wild it gets. But one of the show’s strengths is its ability to not lose any effect of the horror or unsettling nature in lieu of some decent laughs.

The evolution of Creep into this fun anthology series has been a success for Brice and Duplass, and their rewarding of fans of the series pays off immensely in this exciting second season, leaving the sense of desire for more twisted fun to come (and maybe some tapes from the film reels seen during the opening credits?).
