The "creep" was a master at passive aggressive behavior and mending emotions of the man who was hired to film. Insecurity, curiosity, and fear. The movie was one hour and not a minute was wasted. The ending was excellent. Bravo on shaky camera filming.

My quick rating - 4,7/10. I don't know. A movie that has the "good" and the "bad" reaching so far extremes makes rating ti difficult. First off, handicam movies are not a novelty anymore, and I am sick of MOST of them. Yes there are some good ones, "Chronicle" reached the plateau, but most of them think it is still something new. Bad news it is not. At least the story of this movie warranted it being used, though which is a lot more than I can say for "Phoenix Forgotten" Ok, I should stick with this movie. The acting is above average for sure. Mark Duplass does a great job of making the dialogue and facial expressions creepy, yet so believable. His character is almost unnerving in how it seems like the everyday guy you see at the grocery store. Also Patrick Brice as the one who answers the ad for a single day job of videotaping this guy for a $1000 bucks does a really good job with adapting to the strangeness of what is going on. Oh, and since those two also wrote this, I am sure it kind of flowed for them as to what they were thinking as they wrote the story. Get used to those two, they are the only characters in the movie (minus a female voice on the phone). Yet they carried out the story well. The bad news is, there wasn't much to the story and if you read other reviews, don't expect some smack in the face ending. I'd say check it out for the acting but don't expect much beyond that.
