Critics consensus

“Creepy lives up to its title with a suspenseful and thoroughly unsettling - not to mention well-acted - blend of crime procedural and domestic drama.”

RTHorror NonnaAug 25, 2018

One of the best horror films of the year and probably the best serial killer film of the last decade, Creepy is Kurosawa's greatest achievement and Japanese genre cinema at its finest.

Little that happens in Creepy is surprising, but even less is unsatisfying.

Something nasty in the woodwork? Almost surely. It's macabre fun finding it.

J

RTVague VisagesAug 1, 2023

Creepy is a film that takes its titular feeling to frightening new heights, and Kurosawa’s game of bait-and-switch intensely compounds when acted out alongside his mastery of tension.
