What side is best and what side is worst?

Uh, top to bottom, best to worst.

Charon, I'd be interested in your thoughts on Creep

I saw Creep by accident. It was around the time I was living alone and I finally got Netflix so I was really excited to check out all that it had to offer. The first film I watched (that I hadn't already seen before) was Creep. I had no idea what I was getting into. Creep is sort of a weird film for me because while I would probably rank it fairly low, it isn't a film I feel like I can critique and point out something that's bad. It's one of those movies that just quite "isn't for me", I think. As a found footage film it already had a long way up for me to climb, and I felt the protagonist of this was pretty stupid and I couldn't rationalize with his decision to continue to trust someone like Josef despite all that he's seen that should tell him that this guy is the last person you should put any faith in. I will say that the axe scene was very startling and delivered. But ultimately, for me and horror films to rank highly I tend to need a protagonist I can identify with or like or a villain who transcends into someone that's able to capture my imagination. Writing about it, I would possibly consider moving it around a little bit since I tend to do that when I used to participate in these projects. There was never a time my ranking list didn't change when I did writeups.

Creep and The Lighthouse both are films I struggle to say what I didn't really like about them. Both are hard to fault; they're just certain kinds of movies that may or may not be intended especially for the person who is watching them. I would have a far easier time talking about what I didn't like about The VVitch and Midsommar despite having those a little above these two.
