Mark Duplass and Patrick Brice revisit the Creep franchise with the first series addition, The Creep Tapes. The six-episode horror series misses the Halloween window by a few weeks, premiering on November 15, 2024 on AMC+ and Shudder.
“A little over 10 years ago, Patrick Brice and I spent a week together in my cabin with a small digital camera. We emerged with a found footage horror film that was so wildly strange and uncomfortable we assumed no one would see it,” said Duplass. “To be continuing this unholy legacy in the series format is a true nightmare come true.”
Duplass stars in the series and serves as a writer and executive producer. Brice writes, executive produces, and directs all six episodes.
“The Creep Tapes continues to unravel the mind of a secluded serial killer who lures videographers into his world with the promise of a paid job documenting his life,” reads Shudder’s synopsis. “Unfortunately, as the tape rolls, the killer’s questionable intentions surface with his increasingly odd behavior and the victims will learn they may have made a deadly mistake.”
Mel Eslyn, Jay Duplass and Chris Donlon also serve as executive producers. The series is produced by Duplass Brothers Productions and Shudder.
“Patrick and Mark have given us two of the most unique and exciting takes on psychological horror with Creep and Creep 2, both of which amassed a huge fan following and camp audience. We’re thrilled to be working alongside them in expanding this popular franchise with six thrilling episodes that will unfold more of this twisted story and Peachfuzz antics,” stated Courtney Thomasma, EVP of streaming for AMC Networks.
Creep was released in June 2015 and grossed $7.4 million, with Creep 2 following in 2017.
One of the biggest trends in 21st-century horror movies is “the curse movie.” And with so many of them flooding the market, of course some are going to be good and some are going to be bad. Writer/director Parker Finn’s 2022 offering Smile ranks up there with The Ring and It Follows as one of the best of the bunch. So, in another 21st-century trend, it’s no surprise that it would get a sequel – the aptly titled Smile 2.
Smile 2 is about a pop starlet named Skye Riley (Aladdin’s Naomi Scott) who, through events that can be traced back to the first movie, winds up with the dreaded curse. Skye is constantly tormented by visions of people around her smiling wide and threatening her, and the only way to pass on the curse is by (minor spoiler for those who have not seen Smile) committing suicide in front of a witness who will then be saddled with said curse. Of course, Skye has a problem believing all of this, and given her dark past riddled with tragedy and drug addiction, those around her think she is just having a breakdown. Or worse, a relapse.
Basically, Smile 2 is Parker Finn rehashing what he did with Smile, but with a different set of characters and in a different stage in the curse. The concept is the same, the execution is the same, and some of the set pieces are even the same. This isn’t always a negative – Smile was a pretty effective movie and Smile 2 pretty much follows the same formula. It’s just that it gives the viewer the feeling that they’ve seen it all before.
Parker Finn’s strength in Smile 2 lies squarely with his use of imagery. While the comic creepiness of the smiling demon motif isn’t used to quite the same effect as it was in the first movie, there are still plenty of horrifying segments. Finn is a disciple of James Wan’s keep-it-quiet-until-it-goes-BOO! philosophy, and the jump scares in Smile 2 reflect this.
Finn is also great at setting an audience up to be scared, and while Smile 2 doesn’t always hit, when it does, it hits hard. One scene where Skye is being attacked by her backup dance troupe – all smiling, of course – demonstrates how absurdly terrifying the concept behind the Smile movies can be. Aside from the obvious smiling stalkers, the subject of the curse is constantly questioning their own sanity as well. It’s a double-edged threat.
Aside from it just repeating the same plot points as Smile (which, let’s be real, happens more often than not with horror sequels), the biggest weakness in Smile 2 is a frustrating lack of backstory. At a bit over two hours, Smile 2 already runs a bit long for what it is. However, there are a handful of unexplored subplots such as Skye’s relationship with her estranged bestie Gemma (Dylan Gelula from Shameless) and the media’s portrayal of Skye’s “breakdown” and “relapse” that could be fleshed out more. It feels odd to say it, given its current length, but Smile 2 could stand to be about 20 minutes longer with a bit more exposition and exploration.
There’s nothing subtle about Smile 2. It goes for the jugular on a superficial level, and there’s thinly-veiled subtext about the pressures of teen pop stardom tossed in for a bit of social cred. As far as horror sequels go, it’s passable. But the concept feels like it can’t really support a franchise as well as, say, the Final Destination concept can. Let’s all hope that Parker Finn moves on because the guy knows how to make a movie. We just need him to come up with a new idea.

Daniel Sunjata and Kaitlin Olson in ‘High Potential’ episode 4 (Disney/Carlos Lopez-Calleja)
Morgan (Kaitlin Olson) arrives at work with an extra pep in her step as ABC’s High Potential episode four kicks off. Today’s the day she receives her official ID badge, which, in her mind, is a huge step forward. Lt. Selena Soto (Judy Reyes) and the detectives aren’t as enthusiastic, but that doesn’t break her stride as she snaps selfies in the bathroom.
Things turn serious when she’s joined in the bathroom by Mia (Madeline Zima), a sobbing mom. Her ex, Wendell, was supposed to drop off their young daughters, but he’s ghosting her. She’s on her way to talk to the detective but confesses she has a really bad feeling about this.
Mia’s joined by her dad, John Ashford (Christopher Cousins), as she explains the situation to Selena and Detective Adam Karadec (Daniel Sunjata). Wendell has become obsessed with environmentalism and wanted Mia and the kids to live off-grid. But Mia runs an online business, so she moved in with her dad and left Wendell. Selena says they’ll issue a BOLO for Wendell’s car but have to wait 24 hours to issue an Amber alert.
Mia confesses she doesn’t know if Wendell will harm their daughters.
Detective Lev ‘Oz’ Osman (Deniz Akdeniz) learns Wendell applied for passports for his daughters. And Detective Daphne Forrester (Javicia Leslie) discovers Child Protective Services deemed him unstable. Selena wants a search done to see if he booked tickets out of the country. Before heading out to Wendell’s house with Adam, Morgan promises Mia she’s in good hands.
Wendell’s house has solar panels and a compost bin, but that’s not what Morgan notices right off the bat. A pink stuffed bunny is lying in the yard, and Morgan recalls seeing it in professional photos with the kids. It’s probably a favorite toy and wouldn’t have left it behind unless something happened.
Morgan and Adam look around the house, which is full of kid-friendly stuff. Three breakfasts remain on the kitchen table, along with half-empty drink glasses. Morgan spots a greenhouse, and inside are hundreds of healthy fruits and vegetables. However, the cucumbers and tomatoes are planted next to each other which is, apparently, a big gardening no-no.
These particular plants haven’t even rooted, and Morgan deduces they were just recently planted. Morgan thinks something is hidden there, and Adam points out it could be a body. They begin digging and discover Wendell isn’t ghosting Mia. He’s dead.

Police dogs are called to try and track the girls as scores of cops look over the crime scene. Wendell was killed by a blow to the back of his head, presumably by the nearby shovel. He was murdered within the last 12 hours.
There’s no sign of the girls but Adam’s assuming they were taken alive since no other area in the garden was recently disturbed. Oz reports Wendell was seen at a café arguing with a woman just yesterday. The woman is described as having long red hair and glasses.
Morgan discovers a photo hidden in Wendell’s survivalist handbook, but they don’t know who the people are in the picture. There’s nothing else in the book that’s helpful.
Tire tracks in the dirt are being investigated, and Morgan points out the odds of the girls being found alive are 42% – if they were taken by a stranger. They head to Mia’s father’s house, and it’s obvious he’s incredibly wealthy. He owns Ashford Luxury Estates so they can’t rule out this is a kidnapping for ransom. Adam and Morgan break the news about Wendell’s murder, and Morgan makes an excuse to leave the room. She gets into the housekeeper’s good graces by pouring her a drink and learns Wendell was a sweet man and a great dad. The housekeeper reveals she saw Wendell coming out of Mia’s dad’s office last weekend. She has no idea what he was doing in there.
Back at the station, Lt. Solo’s pulled some strings and got the media to report on the missing girls. Hundreds of calls have come in as a result, but they aren’t any closer to discovering the girls’ location.
Morgan determines nothing in the incredibly negative CPS report about Wendell is true, based on what they’ve learned about him thus far. Morgan believes the social worker must have hated him. What do you know? She has long red hair and glasses. Bingo! They visit social worker Sarah Keller, and Morgan points out all the past-due bills on her table. Plus, she buys cheap dishwashing soap. She’s broke yet somehow just vacationed in Kauai. (Morgan sees a fresh lei and Sally’s wearing comfy high-end resort slippers.)
Sally confesses that John Ashford paid for the vacation and that she had to do what he asked and write a negative report or she’d have been fired. Adam wonders if maybe she killed Wendell so Wendell wouldn’t get her fired. Sally’s shocked they think she’s a murderer. Her argument with Wendell was over the report, with Wendell warning her he was going public with what John did. Sally wanted to write a new report to make this all disappear, but Wendell said John needed to be exposed. He had evidence that John bribed lots of people, and it was time to stop John from destroying the planet.
After their argument, Sally told John Ashford what Wendell planned to do.
John Ashford’s arrested, but his wife and the chauffeur, Curtis, claim he was down in San Diego last night. He couldn’t have been at Wendell’s house at the time of the murder. Adam asks about toll receipts, but Curtis claims he used Fast Pass. When Adam asks for the license plate number to check the toll roads, Curtis is forced to admit he doesn’t know where John was last night.
Morgan steps into John’s office and makes a copy of her hand. The copy has the same pink streaks as the photo she found in Wendell’s survivalist handbook. Adam interrogates John, with his attorney present, and points out a bag from one of John’s hotels. The man in the photo is a San Mateo judge who allowed John to build a hotel in a protected area. Plus, that same judge spent his 60th birthday with his family in the Maldives at one of John’s resorts.
Wendell’s dead, so he can’t testify about what he’s discovered, but Sarah Keller knows what John’s capable of. Right after Sarah called John warning him, John texted a pre-paid phone: “Must speak. Urgent.” John refuses to say who he texted, and Adam says he believes John pays people to make problems – like Wendell – go away.
“How long do you think your pre-paid phone guy is willing to risk leaving your granddaughters alive?” asks Adam. John finally caves and provides the name Eddie Malone and where to find him.
Morgan and Adam stakeout Eddie and arrest him. Unfortunately, the girls aren’t with him when he’s taken in.
Back at the station, Eddie confesses that John paid him to keep Wendell quiet. However, when he went to Wendell’s, Mia was there arguing with him. Morgan can’t believe Selena and Adam are taking Eddie’s word over Mia’s and think Mia might have killed Wendell. Selena advises Morgan that they need to go into this with open minds. Adam adds fuel to the Mia fire when he confirms the tire tracks belong to her car. And Daphne just discovered Mia withdrew $100,000 this morning.
Morgan’s frustrated they’ve landed on Mia as the primary suspect, and Selena suggests they all go home. Adam sticks around with Morgan, who is adamant that Mia is a terrified mom and not a murderer. Morgan admits she hasn’t slept in 27 hours, and this case is going to keep her awake.

Morgan returns home and suddenly decides they’re getting a compost bin tomorrow. She gives Ava a big hug and kisses Elliot. It’s been a rough day and this case has gotten to her. As she’s talking to Ludo, the news comes on about the missing girls. A photo of the two kids shows a Buddha in the background that wasn’t there when Morgan visited the house. She quickly connects the dots and realizes something in the cabinet behind the Buddha was switched.
Morgan catches Mia at an antique store and confronts her about her mom’s love of Chinese antiques. Morgan believes the Ming in the cabinet is fake and opens a box next to Mia, revealing the real Ming vase. Mia comes clean and says she’s got to put together $200,000 tonight or her girls will be killed. She’s selling the Ming to help pay the ransom.
Mia also admits she went to Wendell’s to beg him not to turn her father in. She’s supposed to meet the kidnapper at midnight, and Morgan insists on going with her. Morgan alerts Adam to what’s going on, and he surprises Mia by meeting them at the drop-off. Mia insists he can be trusted, and they need him as backup.
The kidnapper texts her a location and Adam has Morgan give Mia her phone. Adam calls it and has Mia keep it on while she goes to the meeting. Mia’s instructed to enter an auditorium and place the bag on a hook. The kidnapper refuses to let her speak to her kids and takes off running after grabbing the bag. Adam pursues him and is forced to fire a shot, but the guy gets away.
Adam’s tracking the money bag and they find the guy’s car in flames. Mia’s frantic that her girls are in the trunk, and Adam pries it open. It’s empty.
Lt. Selena Soto and the cops arrive, and Morgan inspects the car. She listens to the car’s radio and it’s on a station reporting on sports betting. She pieces the clues together and realizes the kidnapper is Mia’s dad’s chauffeur, Curtis. She believes Curtis is in love with Mia, and after not making a fortune betting, he decided to kidnap her kids for ransom. He’d have to be rich to date Mia, and picked a slimy way to do it.
Curtis was free during the hours of Wendell’s murder, and Morgan believes he got into a fight with Mia’s ex before kidnapping the girls. Curtis is brought in and confesses to the murder and kidnapping but claims not to know where the girls are. He took them to the mountains and they ran off.
The detectives join Search & Rescue as they scour the mountains. Morgan uses instructions from Wendell’s survivalist book to track their route and finds an arrow pointing to their hiding place. Mia’s reunited with her kids, thanks to Morgan.
Later, Adam thanks Morgan for trusting him, and Morgan thanks Adam for not Rambo-ing out. Neither are sure they’ll have this amount of trust again, and they’re okay with that. Adam scores a few points by placing Morgan’s badge around her neck. She wasn’t even aware she lost it in the woods.
Episode four ends with Morgan returning home and falling asleep between Elliot and Ludo on the couch.

Apple TV+ renewed its critically acclaimed spy drama Slow Horses for season five ahead of its season four premiere. Today, the streamer announced the series has also been renewed for a sixth season.
“Audiences around the world have fallen in love with the Slow Horses, and I’m delighted that Gary Oldman will be leading this star-studded cast on another acerbic and action-packed adventure,” stated Jay Hunt, creative director, Europe, Apple TV+.
The series is based on Mick Herron’s Slough House books, with season four adapted from Herron’s fourth novel of the series, Spook Street. Season five is based on London Rules, and season six will be adapted from books six and seven – Joe Country and Slough House. Per Apple TV+, season six will consist of six episodes and will follow “the Slow Horses on the run as Diana Taverner embroils them all in a fatally high-stakes game of retaliation and revenge.”
Oscar winner Gary Oldman stars as Jackson Lamb, the “brilliant but cantankerous leader of the spies, who end up in Slough House due to their career-ending mistakes as they frequently find themselves blundering around the smoke and mirrors of the espionage world.” Oscar nominee Kristin Scott Thomas, BAFTA Scotland Award winner Jack Lowden, Saskia Reeves, Rosalind Eleazar, Christopher Chung, Samuel West, Sophie Okonedo, Aimee-Ffion Edwards, Ruth Bradley, Tom Brooke, Joanna Scanlan, and Oscar nominee Jonathan Pryce also star.

Neon’s new teaser trailer for The Monkey is as gruesome as you’d expect for a film from Osgood Perkins (Longlegs) based on a Stephen King story. “For the longest time, there was nothing. But then it appeared. A beast not from this Earth, smiting the ones who deserved it, the ones who didn’t, and everyone in between,” says a voiceover, adding, “Whoever controls it, controls life and death.”
“When twin brothers Hal and Bill (played by Theo James in later years, Christian Convery plays the younger twins) discover their father’s old monkey toy in the attic, a series of gruesome deaths starts occurring all around them. The brothers decide to throw the monkey away and move on with their lives, growing apart over the years,” reads Neon’s synopsis. “But when the mysterious deaths begin again, the brothers must reunite to find a way to destroy the monkey for good before it takes the lives of everyone close to them.”
Osgood Perkins adapted King’s short story and directs. Atomic Monster’s James Wan and Michael Clear, C2 Motion Picture Group’s Dave Caplan, Range Select’s Brian Kavanaugh-Jones, and Odd Fellows’ Chris Ferguson serve as producers. Executive producers include Range’s Fred Berger, Stars Collective’s Peter Luo and Nancy Xu, and John Friedberg for Black Bear.
Neon is unleashing The Monkey in theaters on February 21, 2025.
Andrew Garfield and Florence Pugh in ‘We Live in Time’ (Photo Credit: Peter Mountain / A24)
As usual, A24 is on a rampage this year. The studio/distributor has released early the Oscar contenders Sing Sing and A Different Man. They’ve given us the horror gems MaXXXine and Love Lies Bleeding. They’ve made us think with Civil War and Planet Janet. They’ve even brought audiences two of the strangest films of the year with Tuesday and I Saw the TV Glow. And now, we’ve got their innovative little love story, We Live in Time.
We Live in Time is about a talented chef named Almut (Florence Pugh from Midsommar) and a smart marketing exec named Tobias (The Amazing Spider-Man himself, Andrew Garfield). The two meet in a chance encounter, fall in love, and navigate the blue skies and stormy weather of a ten-year relationship.
The story of We Live in Time is typical sappy romance stuff. The approach that writer Nick Payne (Wanderlust) and director John Crowley (Brooklyn) take, however, is anything but. The plot unfolds non-linearly, showing different sections of Almut and Tobias’ relationship at a time and giving the viewer information in the seemingly random order that Crowley wants to provide it.
This skipping around does make the events in We Live in Time a bit difficult to follow at times. With very few time-based landmarks, it can be tricky to figure out what point in the ten-year span of Almut and Tobias’ journey the film is showing at any particular moment. Once the viewer gets over this hump, however, everything clicks into place. It’s just one more thing that makes an already fascinating movie even more fascinating.
Like any good love story, We Live in Time is only as good as its lead characters, and luckily, Florence Pugh and Andrew Garfield are at the top of their game here. The actors make their characters human, which helps the audience sympathize with and care about them not just as individuals, but as a supportive couple.
As such, the audience is not forced or asked to take sides. There are no good guys or bad guys here, just as it should be in a movie like this. Neither Almut nor Tobias are depicted as villainous or “wrong,” so when there is friction in the relationship, the audience feels for them as a unit. There is little question (if any) that they belong together, even when they do have more downs than ups.
The lack of a tangible antagonist in We Live in Time does not mean there is no drama in the movie. There’s plenty of conflict, it just all comes from outside. It’s just Almut and Tobias against the forces that oppose them. They are tested and challenged in many ways during their ten-year journey, and what makes the movie compelling is seeing how they rise to those tests and challenges.
So essentially, with We Live in Time, A24 has given us the most A24 romance that they can. It’s quirky without being too left-of-center, it’s experimental while remaining mainstream, and, most importantly, it’s simultaneously uplifting and heartbreaking. It’s about as A24 as A24 movies get.
