Creep is a 2014 American found footage horror film directed by Patrick Brice and written with Mark Duplass, who stars as Josef, a man who hires a videographer to record a message. The film premiered at South by Southwest and built a cult following for its minimal setup and Duplass's improvisational performance. Clips of Josef's overly familiar manner became popular in horror edits and meme soundboards because that single character carries the tension of the entire film.
