Beginning with a man named Dave, we follow the same basic premise of Josef's last killing. Dave is sent a package with the wolf and a video, and he begins watching the video, however he is interrupted by Aaron. Aaron walks in to reveal it is Josef! Mark Duplass reprising his role as Josef, is now going by Aaron and I will refer to him as such from now on. Aaron confesses to Dave that he is the one sending these creepy videos and packages, but when Dave tries to escape, Aaron quickly slits his throat, but now looks off screen and talks to himself about how he is feeling burnt out on his art. We swap to another burnt out artist, Sara, played by Desiree Akhavan. She has been dedicating her time to her online show Encounters, and finding little fulfilment or acclaim, she is about to give up on her project. However she finds one last weirdo to look into, this being Aaron. In their first meeting, Aaron immediately opens up about being a serial killer, and is looking to create a documentary about himself using Sara. Sara looks at this situation and quickly surmises she can use Aaron to create the best episode of Encounters. The two go on a spiritual journey together, Aaron finding is zeal for murder once again, and Sara never believing he really is a killer. In the end, Aaron looks to commit dual suicide with Sara who he seems to have fallen in love with, however Sara rationally declines, and tries to run from the situation. Aaron, enduring multiple knife wounds to his abdomen, retrieves Sara and kills her, throwing her in a grave, and speaking on how he is disappointed with the outcome. During this though, Sara crawls from the grave, slamming the shovel into Aaron's head and escaping. The end has Sara returning to normal life, but realising she is being stalked once more by Aaron.

Unexpectedly Creep 2 has become one of, if not my top favourite movie of all time. The satirical voice the movie takes from Aaron and Sara's first meeting is wonderful, and persists throughout the entire film.

Aaron and Sara both know the other is using them for their own means, and yet both commit to this mirrored parasitic relationship, one with some amount of ignorance, and the other underestimating their partner.

Sara being a online vlogger isn't made cringy in anyway, it for the most part is avoided, save for giving Sara a reason to talk to the camera, something Old Aaron was never given in the first movie.

The characteristic of Aaron taking a part from each kill is fantastic and understandable immediately because of the name change.

Having both these characters be artistically unfulfilled is very relatable for someone who wishes to produce some sort of enjoyable art in the future, especially concerning Sara's introduction, completely drained and pessimistic at her little attention, and then completely energised the next day.

I have not reached the point in my life to have a mid life crisis, but the fact Aaron is is both hilarious because of his art, and probably equally understandable for people in that position.

Aaron is never considered a superhuman in the movie's logic, treated on the same ground as Sara, both being able to survive knife wounds.

Aaron's character is much more unique and feels interesting. He is simply made a artist. An artist that lies, and whose art is murder, but this metamorphosis from what was just a creepy murderer in the first film is great, and watching the first film feels important to the story.

Aaron's backstory, while shrouded in the possibility of all being a lie, feels right and wonderful. Him adopting the saying that today is going to be a good day from the man who almost killed him, and then using it on Old Aaron gives the first movie some more charm, even if retroactively.

The scenes are shot well, and while I got tired of the river scene pretty quickly it was particularly well shot.

The characters mesh well and while still a little unreasonable, we can understand why Sara doesn't run as soon as Aaron gets naked and tells her he is a murderer.

There is exclusively male nudity. This may seem like an odd idea for a part of the film I enjoyed, but the fact a penis is shown on screen means that the use of nudity is more than eye candy, which I found wonderful.

It ends ambiguously without feeling undeserved. Sara survived her encounter yes, but will she survive the next?

The police in this world are actual idiots. This man has committed 39 killings, and a victim gets out alive and you still don't catch him? Ridiculous.

I loved this movie. I went in expecting a completely disconnected sequel with a downgrade in quality, and instead I found my new favourite movie. It is a fantastic film top to bottom and I would recommend this movie to anyone who can handle some disturbing scenes. It does come with the caveat that watching the first film adds a lot, and while that film isn't as good I would still say it is worth it on its own, but even more so if you watch CREEP 2 following it.
