CreepyPasta (2023) Movie Review - Empty Calories

- Опубликовано: 8 фев 2025
- CreepyPasta is everywhere, and there are countless stories to pull from to fill a feature length CreepyPasta movie. Why then, did they go with... these? I mean, sure there is also the central tale, but honestly it's no deeper than the other 10 stories crammed into this movie so the point stands... why?
I saw the cover for this movie and for some reason was like "I cannot wait for Decker to talk about this one".
The cover that ended up on Screambox and such wasn't what the art was supposed to be. They had an actual fully illustrated and painted poster commissioned for the release of the film but the distributor elected not to use it sadly. Not that it makes the movie any different - but it sucks that illustrated posters aren't given their dues as much anymore.
Kudos to Decker for slogging thru the whole movie. I turned it off after the first story.
Might give it a watch sometime can't be any more crap than some of the other shit I have sat through
I'd probably do the sane, the narrator's voice is grating enough in just this video, and she barely takes
I like the implication that the shadow demon dog thing is chill living in a cupboard not eating a kid, but the demon grandma isn’t
There are no bad dogs, only bad humans who raise them wrong.
some random kid in the middle of wyoming : mom there's a shadow man in my closet
mom goes to check
the door slams open
and we hear : AND HIS NAME IS JOOOOOOOOHN CEEEEEEEEEENAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!
Heard the horns for the song and everything. Bravo! Good enough to be in this movie, maybe bordering on TOO GOOD.
What blows my mind is that they made a movie called "Creepypasta," ostensibly meant to be based on preexisting creepypastas, and yet they don't include a single well-known creepypasta, instead opting for the most generic urban legend set-ups imaginable. The only actual creepypasta they reference is Ben Drowned, but like Decker pointed out, it's not even a real reference since it's just the name superimposed over what looks like a Super Mario game. Honestly, I get the feeling this was meant to be a completely original story, but the filmmakers just slapped on the title "CreepyPasta" and the overly forced narration just to increase the likelihood of people actually watching it.
Well, the tall man stealing the little girl did look a bit like a slenderman reference.
I do hear the mouse.avi scream at 14:10
Also.. I think most of these stories weren't even filmed or made for the movie. Like the one with the guy consistently did things he wasn't supposed to do is a Crypt TV horror short film called Do Not.
Jeff The Killer: what is this...
Slenderman:.......
Smile dog: woof....
That adapting it for a modern audience joke really got me! Great review as always Decker
I'm not sure why, but the whole "chain letter, pass along or get cursed" thing from years ago popped into mind while watching this. Vapid urban legend I never believed.
Thanks for the review, Decker.
Honestly that's more of a creepypasta than most of the stories in here
The Boogeyman always comes back. I think he has one of those WWE Legends contracts.
I wasn't sure what to expect from this movie, but at least it wasn't adapting jeff the killer, sonic.exe, happy appy, or any of the other really popular bad creepypastas. It's not as bad as i was expecting it to be
If I remember correctly I think someone was working on a Jeff the killer movie but (i think) it was on kickstarter and thankfully it didn't get the money it needed.
But there is a Rake movie (which is meh) and Smile Dog analog horror series on RUclips (Which is surprisingly ok).
Would Channel Zero count?
@@ahardworker2154
Can you give me the name of the smile dog series?
@@cnarylmaz998 it's a channel called ChainmailChasers. Also sorry for the wait.
Well they did reference ben drowned so they could done that but choose to make some of their own. Which only one i like is the one with fish hooks like most simpliest way to survive that is to just walk the fuck away and not pay any mind to the tv and phone just leave it and hope it will go away if not try to get help
These aren't stories, at best they were story ideas or pitches. I almost watched this movie, so I'm glad you took that bullet for me Decker.
No they were taken from RUclips channels that post horror shorts. Do not was from crypt tv and apparently one of them was from ABC of death
Or well more like they tried to copy the abc of death style but worse
"Nonononono, she just adapted it for a modern audience."
If I could double like this video I would. That had me rolling.
In a certain sense, creepypastas are like 'Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark' (the original books).
20:27 Al Gore got no rhythm.
Some time ago, I picked up an anthology horror movie (the name, unfortunately escapes me now). Much like this, the horror shorts were not very scary for the most part, and were too quick to have any real impact. There was one that stuck out, but not for the quality. It was because I had seen it before. Years ago, on RUclips. It ended up having me wonder if someone had just taken a bunch of horror shorts from RUclips, slapped them together, and called it a movie.
Was it ABCs of Death? Or V/H/S?
@@ablosch2452 Now that you mention it, I think it was ABCs. I was remember wondering how they were going to fit 26 stories in a 90 minute film.
The do not short was taken from crypt tv called well do not.
So yes you are completely right. These aren't original stories they made. They just ether rip these off from RUclips channels that share shorts and not pay them properly or pay for these because it is cheaper then making original content
"Brother finds himself in a house full of dead white people and he ain't sticking around."
Annnndddd...now I have to subscribe. Lol.
A new Decker review?? Hell yeah, that’s the way to battle the Sunday depressing evening. Cheers
It's kind of hilarious what he said about the second "algorithm selected" video link at the end. He said he didn't know what it was, and it was, for my viewing at least, a video literally titled "I have no idea". Also I'm surprised he didn't mention the fact that Mr. Creepypasta appears in the sixth story.
Average (not "good" - those are rare) Creepy Pastas are easy - you just have to learn to write like a third grader (at best) and to switch between present and past tense several times, without any obvious reason. Also use "suddenly" too often and if possible wrong as well (like, say, "then, over several months, my neighbour suddenly built a house"). Remember: "suddenly" is the Creepy Pasta's cheap jumpscare.
Heck, pick anything and simply repeat it as often as possible! AVOID using a thesaurus. If the story is about something that happened to your mother you'll call her "my mother". Period. None of that stupid "she" or "her" and shit. If the reader gets the feeling the story was written by an Indian callcenter scammer who speaks English as his fourth language then you're on the right way.
As for the story itself: It doesn't matter what you make the story. Simply write about something totally normal you did with a bunch of people and in the end write the next day you found out that one of them had died a year ago or some shit like that. Ooooooh, spooooky!
Bonus points: Of course a PROPER Creepy Pasta has to turn up in one of the podcasts that specialize in them. Which one will it be? The one run by that old geezer who has been reading horror podcasts for so long now that he can't help but sound utterly bored 100% of the time? You know, he's the guy who can read a list of torture practices with the tone someone would read a shopping list... Or is it the one with the guy who always gives a WAY too long introduction to each story that often tells too much and can even spoil the story? There is that one which plays atmospheric sounds while the stories are told. Not sound effects FOR the story, just generic spooky noises - wind, thunder, a "Mwahahahaha"-laugh and so forth on a pre-prepared recording that is not made to play the sounds at a fitting point. Not to be mixed up with the one that actually plays the sounds at the right time, but each time uses the same stock sound effects... Or the ASMR lady who reads horror stories as if they were erotica, you know - half whispered, seductive... Nonsensical...
"Santa mierda" hahahaha. Dude, your videos are awesome!!
Sincerely: some random Mexican subscriber.
The narrator sounds like they’re a text-to-speech program
An AI one, so it sounds just a little biz more human
Didn’t know what a horror pasta was, but I do now!
Very nice shirt…
I just found this channel yesterday and this guy is like all the best parts of the nostalgia critic, weird al, and internet commentary entertainment in general. Love his energy.
Thank you so much Mr Shado!!! I wait for your reviews endlessly! Your incredible!
Yes, when I think of creepypastas and bringing in the heavyweights to ensure a decent box office, I TOTALLY don’t think of Jeff the Killer, Laughing Jack, Slenderman etc. jeez with how many characters were sleeping, and woke up, I was hoping to hear this ICONIC line, “GO TO SLEEP,” and closer we got to the end, I was hoping they were gonna save 1 of the big 3 like Jeff for the end, but NOPE. Disappointing, and a waste of time to watch the full movie.
A dark and stormy night real Snoopy weather.
I watched this a few weeks ago. I slept through half of it so when i woke up id have to rewind it. After a while i said screw it. So i had no idea what was going on for most of it. And ur video showed me i missed the first story completely 😂😂
They Tried to be “VHS” and ended up with LaserDisc
I know you probably won't see this but i wanna say thank you! Im off today and binging your videos always cheers me up. Your hard work is sooooo appreciated!!!
Ben drowned as an 8bit lmao
it looks like movie 34 of creepy Pastas ... great video decker ....OR IT WASNT ?!!
Thanks for reminding me of that god awful movie
I only got to the second story before I turned this shit off. I'm glad you're taking one for the team. Also they're trying so hard to be like V/H/S with the dude in between stories getting more and more messed up
The" do not" scene, I recognize that one. If I remember correctly, that was a video from Crypt TV, so... Was crypt TV the one who made this movie? If so, the number of stories in it actually makes sense since a majority of their videos are only 2-4 minutes long each.
So that's where I saw it. I knew I saw this exact short, with the same actor, but I did not remember where.
This guy needs 1 million subs!
Yeah it’s sad that Decker’s content isn’t taking off as it should. Best movie reviewer/break down on RUclips. Literally every video hits.
@@jamiethorpe5431Absolutely!
I’ve never even heard of this movie! Always fun watching your reviews
lol I "watched" this Friday. Randomly put it on because I couldn't think of anything to watch. Say watched because I think I fell asleep about half in way or maybe near the end. It was something...
Decker, I've listened to you while painting miniatures for ages now. It's become a werid nostalgic happy place. I love it. Thanks man.
it is cold, windy and rainy ..perfect atmosphere to watch This.-
That charcuterie board was the scariest thing in this one Decker.😅
I specifically remember that fish hook story movie being on YT over 10 years ago. It was popular BECAUSE it was actually good. Might still be on YT with the original date. Which ultimately confirms for me, that this movie is just a collection of horror movie shorts over the years (whatever they can get their hands on for the least amount of effort) that may or may not have anything to do with actual creepypastas. Also explains why the stories are of varying quality. They probably were made at different points in time.
I really don't want to put in effort into researching this movie because its so bad, but I'm assuming the name is just a cash grab for term that has no business coming out in 2023. Also assuming this movie grabbed ANY cash in the first place...
This movie would scare me, if I was still like 5 years old. Like you have to have a very over active imagination to be afraid of this. The pacing is weird and all over the place.
I love me some horror anthologies but this one was 😠😡. I watched this awhile back an fell asleep within the first story. 😅 I love the 8 Mile reference at the 13:09 mark lol. I have watched some creepypastas from back in the day an they were good if this movie would have use some of those it would have been better in my opinion.AWESOME VID
Whens the next review? Its been a month 🤯
That John Cena joke is killing me xD
Perfect opportunity for Creepy to make a cameo.
After all these years, Decker Shado continues to upload
Need to get back to watching this dude more good videos consistently
Hey Deck, I'm just hoping everything is ok with you. Stay strong and conquer all.
With Vincent Vena Cava as one of the writers, pretty sure that confirms the Mr Creepypasta cameo i thought i saw. May have to check this out for the riffability if nothing else.
Yes that Is MrCreepyPasta in fact he cameos in this three times
The fish hooked one worked and the shadow people becomes scary af when that s!#$happens to you.
Wow I caught this one early. Been watching you for years thanks for the videos Duder.
I feel that one story that starts with the guy smoking would have had that Denis Leary song "I'm An Asshole" playing if they could afford to license it
Borassca has a "happy ending"....when you add in the last part of it. Not originally. But thats something. I guess.

Made with HARPA AI
I remember when I was a kid the supernatural idea of shadow people scared the crap outta me. Not much does these days but that's a childhood spent listening to coast to coast at 2am and watching horror movies does to a man I guess.
Odd that a movie called creepypasta had none of the iconic creepypasta monsters. No rake, Hobo-heart, Mr widemouth or even slenderman. Most recognisable was a rip on bloody mary
Yeah it's weird I understand sonic.exe and Ben drowned not being in it but ones like Jeff the killer and the rake not being used is fucking bizarre
@@jadenbryant9283 TBF Jeff the Killer sucks. Nothing about his background makes sense, and sounds like an edgy teen wrote it. Slenderman is not too bad, and am pretty sure the tall guy in the second story was based on him. Rake is an interesting concept, a cryptid based story. So better than an average human getting powers after an accident story.
@@tsubakiofmelancholy6297 yeah but with them being iconic creepypasta stories you would think they would be there
@@jadenbryant9283 True. But I feel the second story was loosely based on slender man. The tall man looked like a cheap knockoff.
@@tsubakiofmelancholy6297 which makes me wonder if there was some types of rights issues
This movie feels like a 90 minute trailer.
I might just be weird because I actually super dug a lot of the horror imagery in this movie. Doesn't make the movie good at all, just means someone could probably make a pretty neat spooky gif collage out of it.
Always enjoy your reviews! Very entertaining!
Hey, c’mon now, Decker.. give the chick picking the guy’s body some credit; it wasn’t an 8 Mile extra, but Spud from Trainspotting. Also pretty sure that was MrCreepyPasta himself in that same segment with the suit and mask who helps take his cgi ectoplasmic piss-soul. Only plus to this movie is that if you pay attention to the background, there are a lot of Easter eggs, so even though they didn’t TELL actual creepypastas, it was more like Creepypasta: The Reference: The Movie. All that being said, this was still… not good. Thanks for braving the boredom for us. I don’t mean this as a sleight or any negative way whatsoever, but it’s a goddamn crime how underrated your channel/reviews are. Been watching you for years now and you’re one of the few reviewers that I will binge the content of. Old and new. So thank you for the time, effort and sanity you’ve put into it all. It hasn’t gone unappreciated.
I re-watched this just last night with my friend.
Really expected this to dethrone Alien Origin
Also will you do the VHS series at some point?
This is funny, I caught part of this movie last week and it was so boring I couldn't stay awake.
I love that the no smoking and keep off the grass signs were clearly added in post. Couldn't even afford to print off some cardboard guys?
i really enjoy watching deckers content, seems like a good bloke, funny too
"Brother finds himself in a house full of dead white people, he ain't stickin' around!"
As a brother, I approve this message.
I could be wrong, but is this film comprised of short films that you can see on Alter's RUclips channel?
The story of the old lady with the oxygen mask reminds me of a black-eyed child short I saw on Alter.
Your reviews are brilliant 👏 👌
10:09 that says TaBLe-MaKeR
If only Flash Drives were known for their portability and ease of use in every computer on Earth.
Slenderman appears.
The best CreepyPasta I've ever read was Laughing Jack. Too bad it'd be messed up if Hollywood ever made it into a movie...Oh, well
Funny part the 3rd (or was it 4th part? The trouble guy) His license says "TBL-MKR" which looks like TABLE MAKER 😂
Reminds me of Galaxy of Horrors
Every creepypasta: i thoaght this was our time to shine
Clockwork: what the hell where's me and toby
Toby: yeah
Jeff and jane: where our story
Hoody and masky: where's ours
Lj: that was not fun
Ej: where am i in this
Ben drowned: at least i made a cameo
Everyone: SHUT UP BEN!
You should never forget the wisdom tould to you by Son-Gohan: First Rule is: there are no rules.
i love your videos. keep making them you are awesome.
Decker is my spirit animal!
Love this channel
isn't the one with the troublemaker and the hooks an old horror short cause I am pretty sure I saw it a long time ago
When I'm in a creepypasta i too hope decker is narrating my demise "and the body count rises"
Honestly, this movie is surprisingly accurate to its title. It really does feel like opening the creepypasta website and picking a bunch of random stories to read, mostly written by aspiring and enthusiastic kids and teenagers. The "Wow, scary guy" formula is classic stuff.
I know this video was made like 5 months or something ago. But I am a like an OG Creepypasta fan And I just watched the Creepypasta 2023 movie with my older Sister. And I cringed and cried and had a mental breakdown, And I cringed so hard I had to stop in the middle of it. To rethink my life, Like The only reference of creepypasta was Ben drowned I think. Bro it was so bad. Like I'm not sure if it was actually made in 2023 based of the effects. And I'm all in for cringey old Creepypastas But for this movie that was made in 2023 It just doesn't make sense. And I kept telling my sister Like "This Is Not What Real Creepypastas Are" Like she actually cared🫣 Don't even get me started when the man gets kidnapped in the woods by the "blue Skittles forest people" And was that supposed to be eyeless jack?! Nah..! 😭😭😭 That was the Walmart dollar tree rip off of eyeless jack. I am very embarrassed Of myself by even watching it with my sister. Watching that was literal brain rot.📸💀😭📸💀😭📸💀😭📸💀😭📸💀 Bye y'all..📸😭📸😭
@sophiahancock8573 I was very confused too💀💀💀🫣
The Gray Man gave me big Green Man, Charlie Kelly vibes lmfao
Eventhough you don't normally review tv shows, I would like to see a Monarch: Legacy of Monsters review, especially because you've reviewed the whole Monsterverse.
Love your videos!
Same
I’m pretty sure I saw some of these shorts on the RUclips channel Alter
Decker mks my Sunday great again lmao
Decker lookin real jacked here baby
I love horror story podcast like nosleep. I'd like horror movies to pull more from those sources. Some do suck now a days though as people think weird and nonsensical means scary.
Hey Decker, have you seen "frogman"? Would love your thoughts on it
I've been watching for 7 years now
I follow several horror news and never saw this one...
"Who's the grey man?" Your guess is as a good as mine and I read creepypasta as a dumb teenager 😂 I googled it and all I got was a Ryan gosling movie.
The creepypasta My girlfriend is an alien has a happy ending
Wasn't the one with the fish hooks in the guy an actual short film somewhere on RUclips
3:24 wait wait wait. Decker…is this movie copying the plot of VHS (one of the best horror anthology movies ever made) where the dude is just watching tapes over and over of creepy messed up stuff I can’t say on RUclips while looking for one specific tape while creepy stuff is happening in the background that he isn’t noticing while swapping between tapes, but instead of tapes it’s flash drives because “ooo modern tech”?!!
EDIT
6:00 omg they really are ripping off VHS. But VHS was scary because each and every tape was a POV video filmed by one of the protags and used practical effects and low resolution footage to make the films feel real and like the character was unknowingly watching haunted sniff films (avoiding real word on purpose) that seemed to bring the danger to the viewer and make them part of the next film.
This isn’t found footage, or POV. It’s just lazy copying without understanding why the original worked. 😔
Idk why but I have watched this review like 5 times. This review is hilarious. I also really like your killjoy 2 review because it's one of the worst movies you have ever seen.
Thanks Decker for saving my time on this one.....
OH MY GOD When I saw the thumbnail I was shook, Anthony Salano was one of my teachers when I was in High School so I was shocked
Why are these movies so bad? There's so much potential, but they just never go anywhere with it.
It's clever to have a horror anthology movie based on creepypasta, but man, this was so bad.
Good coverage, though, as always.
