The chilling second season of the acclaimed horror series The Creep Tapes has landed in full on Amazon Prime Video, with critics and fans declaring it a terrifying triumph that surpasses its predecessor.
A Perfect Score for Found-Footage Fear
Following its initial run on Shudder, the complete second season is now available for streaming via Prime Video, just in time for viewers to binge over the Christmas break. The series, based on the Creep films by Mark Duplass and Patrick Brice, continues the story of the enigmatic serial killer Josef, who documents his murderous exploits on VHS tapes.
The new season has achieved a remarkable 100% rating from critics on Rotten Tomatoes, a significant leap from the already strong 77% held by the first season. This critical acclaim is echoed by fans, who have flooded social media praising the show's intensity and innovation.
Critics and Fans Laud a Darker, Smarter Season
Reviewers have highlighted the season's evolution. Daily Dead called it a "darker, more delicious season that pokes fun at the serial killer subgenre," while Bloody Disgusting noted it as "a solid upgrade" that challenges "found footage and horror as a whole." Next Best Picture praised the "stark vision" and creativity in building the franchise's world.
On social media, the reaction has been fervent. One fan on X described the finale as "completely insane," stating, "At no point could I take in what was happening. The more I learnt, the less I understood." Another declared, "The Creep Tapes remains the best found footage franchise and it’s not even close."
What's Next for the Creep Cinematic Universe?
The show's success has already secured its future. A third season was confirmed by Shudder in October 20252026. Co-creator Patrick Brice, speaking to Filmhounds Magazine, teased the ongoing mystery surrounding Josef's backstory.
"Part of the fun of the movies and the show is trying to decipher what’s real and what’s not," Brice explained. He confirmed that while season two adds "some solid ground," it also peels back pre-established ideas from the first season, keeping audiences guessing before eventually diving into "hard and fast reality."
With both seasons now available to stream on Shudder via Amazon Prime Video, horror enthusiasts have the perfect opportunity to immerse themselves in one of the most talked-about and critically adored horror series of the year.
