Was 'The Creep Tapes' a Bad Idea?

With an affinity for improv and offbeat characters, Jay and Mark Duplass have embraced the indie movie and TV landscape since the founding of their independent production company, Duplass Brothers Productions, in 1996. Often associated with the low-budget mumblecore movement of the early-2000s, offering movies like The Puffy Chair and Cyrus, the filmmaking duo has certainly experimented with genres over the past three decades. Notably, Mark Duplass — who's in front of the camera as often as he is behind it — creeped his way into the hearts of horror aficionados back in 2014 with Netflix's hit found footage film Creep. (He was also in 2015's The Lazarus Effect, but we don't talk about that.)
