Directed and written by Jamie Hooper, The Creeping is a chilling ghost story we first told you about during its screening at the Chattanooga Film Festival last year. Now available on digital and VOD from Dark Sky Films, we have an exclusive clip just for Daily Dead readers!
"Due to a traumatic childhood experience Anna hasn’t returned to her family home for many years. With her ailing grandmother, Lucy, suffering with worsening symptoms of dementia, Anna moves home to look after her. Soon after, strange things begin happening. Though benign at first, events soon escalate into a nightmarish fight for life against a malevolent presence. She discovers the ordeal is linked to a dark family secret, a tragic past that’s haunted Anna her whole life… and Lucy’s fading memories could be the key to solving the mystery and surviving the nightmare."

There’s been a small number of genre films recently – Wyvern Hill, The Curse of Humpty Dumpty – that have dealt with dementia, blurring the lines between what is real and what is the result of a deteriorating mind and The Creeping follows suit.

If you’re old enough to remember those movies of the week that were on television in the 80s, you know that a large part of the appeal was the fact they were creepy but not so terrifying you had to sleep with the lights on. Filmmaker Jamie Hooper’s directorial debut, The Creeping, which premiered at this year’s virtual Chattanooga Film Festival, chillingly captures the 80s spooky movie of the week aesthetic in the best way possible. The Creeping is a captivating ghost story which features a sensational cast and astonishing scares that make the film fondly reminiscent of those old school movies of the week.
