- 83The PlaylistDrew TaylorThe PlaylistDrew TaylorCreep is a tiny movie whose uniqueness feels positively seismic. If there's one thing Creep has, it's an abundance of personality, and that cannot be understated.
- 80VarietyJoe LeydonVarietyJoe LeydonA slow-burning found-footage suspenser with some mildly clever twists and a knockout payoff.

- 70The Hollywood ReporterJohn DeForeThe Hollywood ReporterJohn DeForeKnowing and funny without straining to be clever, the found-footage-style pic works better than the Duplass Brothers' 2008 Baghead, with which it has some elements in common.
- 70Village VoiceSimon AbramsVillage VoiceSimon AbramsSuperior found-footage horror film Creep tellingly loses steam after it stops being a rote but tense game of chicken between a normcore derangoid (he likes hikes, hugs, and pancakes) and his wary victim.
