Creepypasta

I have been a fan of internet horror stories for years and the prospect of a movie based on the stories i grew up with seemed to be interesting. Where it falls flat is that none of the films featured here relate to any popular or under the radar story on the Creepypasta site.

To call this a Creepypasta movie is a genuine insult to not only the viewer but authors of internet horror that have made master pieces compared to this hot garbage. While the movie has two cameos from memorable characters from Creepypasta the have nothing to due with the plot of the film and are only there for the audience to point at the screen and mention that is a character from Creepypasta.

Overall, a waste of time and poor marketing by using a memorable name in horror to release something unrelated and disappoint fans looking for their nostalgia to be shown on screen.

I was so excited there was a CreepyPasta movie coming out, but this was so disappointing. It's supposed to be about a guy trying to get a hard drive that has "incriminating evidence" on him, and for some reason he has to watch a bunch of CreepyPasta stories to get to it. The movie consists mostly of watching this guy have a nose bleed, and watching bloody nose guy watch really bad short films (as an anthology style). All of this movie was bad- bad acting, bad CGI, bad costumes, bad story line, bad plot holes, and just an overall insult to true CreepyPastas.

The girls voice who "narrates" the film is extremely irritating. Not sure what she had to do with the movie. I *think* she was supposed to be missing, like kidnapped? But the story line made no sense so I'm not really sure.

Why was the main character guy's nose bleeding? Why did he never wipe it off, and why did he pee blood? Why were some of the CreepyPasta films in Spanish with no subtitles? If you don't speak Spanish, two of the films stories will make no sense.

I pushed through to the end hoping this film would redeem itself. It never did. The only reason I rated this movie two stars is because it was about CreepyPastas, and I truly love those stories. There was a "Ben Drowned" Easter egg in the film, so that was cool.

Gave it 2 stars only because it's horror related. Movie was absolutely terrible and didn't even have the best creepypasta stories. I would have included shorter versions of the channel Zero adaptations and many others. These anthologies have gone completely down hill since the original VHS series and the ABCs of Death. I thought that they would get better over time, but now I realize that the lower budget and starved artists bring so much more to the table than these over produced and sickeningly predictable short films. Give me more edge, give me more originality, give me a movie to tell friends about!

It's disappointing when adaptations like this stray from the essence of classic creepypastas. There's already a GREAT anthology of creepypastas and it's called Channel Zero. The original stories had intricate narratives and psychological depth so I have no idea why someone (several someones) thought they could use the namesake Creepypasta for something as dull as video after video of overcooked jumpscares and dragging victims into the darkness. Maybe one or two of the vignettes was fine (the flashlight one comes to mind) but even then I would not recommend this to anyone who came for the pasta. I don't think a single one of these was based on a real classic creepy pasta. If they really wanted to use "Creepypasta" they really should have leaned the other way and made "who was phone" and stories of that ilk.

What if we sat a thousand monkeys at a thousand typewriters and waited for them to churn out something vaguely similar to VHS? This is it. The framing device is similar. The segments are for people who think the ones in ABCs of Death are too nuanced and bloated. There is nothing good about this movie. I have watched more terrible anthology horror than almost anyone and will continue to make the same terrible error in judgment over and over but this really should be my rock bottom. Spare yourself. Go watch Creepshow or Cat's Eye or Bodybags or Southbound. Watching any of those for the 10th time will be orders of magnitude more satisfying.
