Watch Creep Van For Free

Save your money for something good and enjoyable

Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Creep Van is pretty fun, if a little thrown together. The acting is acceptable and the gore and effects work for the most part, and there is actually a lot of character work that goes into the lead to make you at least slightly care about what is going on in his story.Where the film falls down is its lack of focus. Lots of scenes feel stitched together and the whole thing could have brobably been neatened up a whole lot. Plus there is never really any clear motivation for the antagonist at any point, and this isn't one of those 'less is more' situations. Even if it is schlocky, a 'tragic accident/prank gone wrong' origin might have added some depth here.Overall this is a pretty fun low budget gore flick, with some humour and nudity thrown in for good measure. Any fans of the genre won't be disappointed, although it definitely could have done with a tighter script and less one-way phone conversation acting, seriously, it was a lot.

This movie tries it has some interesting elements but the movie comes together as a mess of elements that don't work to make a cohesive story and some elements are so outright dumb that unless you were under the influence of some potent controlled substances would make you question "who could have filmed this and thought this was good?" It was hammy and fun at points though, it had some good mindless violence. The ending and some of the more tedious dumb scenes (like the job the main character had at the car wash place) just made the movie longer for no reason. The movie could have benefited from some scene trimming. The ending attempted to be a twist ending but just ended up being dumb and weird.

The number of ultra-ultra-low-low beginner's school films seems to be increasing daily (thank you digital and thank you RED). Unfortunately they also should come with a disclaimer for consumers who want to be assured that what they're about to watch contains some level of competence.While Creep Van doesn't really rank into that stinking dogpile, it comes a bit too close for comfort at times. I haven't seen "Gag" --- though it does sound pretty horrific, and not in a good way --- but at least "Creep Van" is reasonably well made in the technical sense.Creep Van follows in the mold of Vehicular Homicide stuff from the '70s like The Car, only there's a very real psycho inside this titular rolling weapon. Whether that's good or not --- well --- I couldn't tell you, because there's no real reason given why the "creep" is slaughtering so many people with so many intricate and (sometimes) amusing deathtraps. Not that psychos NEED a reason to kill people, but if they don't, the filmmaker should at least give us something interesting to watch. That's not the pairing of Brian Kolodziej and Amy Wahrell who, though likable, don't have enough acting chops combined to chew through creamed corn. And isn't Wahrell a bit OLD for Kolodziej? I thought she was his mom half the time. But, I digress....The main problem with this movie is, well...it doesn't know what it wants to be, exactly. The tone is all over the place: it wants to be a creepy, somber '80s throwback one minute, then a Fangoria face-ripped-off fright fest (but without one genuine shock, ironically), and then a wacky-as-all-get-out Troma schlocker. It actually does succeed in places, but the overall effect is jarringly uneven. It just doesn't have the sheen of a well-made film...even the stuff coming out of Troma these days is miles ahead in overall production quality.Never thought I'd be referring to Troma as a mainstream standard but...in the context of Creep Van, it is.

If you like a some low-brow comedy to accompany your bloody B-rate slasher, then the Creep Van will deliver! *NOTE: The version found on Netflix is NOT the raunchier, uncut, extended version that I viewed online.*Despite a couple of shoddy performance moments and an unmistakably low-budget vibe, Creep Van manages very decent gore and a few laugh-out-loud moments. The humor is fairly original, as is the storyline. The characters and kills are curiously quirky. It is written nicely, and the film makes the most of its' budget by employing traditional stage effects and camera trickery rather than CGI tactics. The soundtrack and sound FX, though mostly absent, worked well enough and weren't a distraction.The pace is fine, however it's hard to keep track of time that passes within the film. Has a day passed, or a month? Contemplating this was a bother. In fact, there are a number of missing or incomplete components within the story that were slightly bothersome. They did not however, impede My overall enjoyment. I was glad to have watched it, and would watch it again. There are a number of topless scenes, hilariously bizarre sexuality, and other graphic moments that make this film inappropriate for those under 17 and for those with a big stick up their ultra-tight posterior.
