At what point would you have quit on Josef? (spoilers)


Even if you were an artistic hipster open-minded towards eccentric rich guys, as soon as the dude joked about killing me with the axe, I'd be in my car as soon as I got back to the house ... bonding session at the healing spring be damned.

I can imagine some people being naïve enough to hang around, however.

Due to the lack of moderators, trolls can ruin the IMDB message boards. Don't feed them.

I'd be running the second he took his underpants off.

Complaining about mistakes is almost as bad as complaining about complaining about mistakes.

This.

reply

Dunno, very uncomfortable yes, but his explanation sounded ok, so maybe just pity would have kept me there at that point. I think the peachfuzz song is where I would have run, too creepy.

Yes. No need to get naked for a video for your son.

Well, you can't have Tubby Time with your dad with clothes on.

It's really hard to say. I'm watching it as someone who knows its supposed to be a horror movie called Creep, so obviously I'm more suspicious/cautious off the bat than I would be in the real life situation.

I think the axe comment may have put a sinking feeling in my stomach. Yet, Aron needed Joseph to get back, so he just played it off. I'd also leave as soon as we got back from the woods.

The second I had any trouble finding my keys I would've been terrified, since obviously he took them, though I would've never gone in for the whiskey.

reply

Yeah, we're all forewarned, aren't we?

Everything about Josef was creepy, but I'd stick with him at least long enough to 1) get my money for the day, and 2) get out of the woods. I would never have go back inside that house for a drink with him. Ever.

reply

I wouldn't have gone in for a drink either. i would've been supremely wary by then.

reply

Being wary at that point is likely moot. Aaron was doomed as soon as photos were taken of him, I think. At the point he offered him the whiskey, leaving wouldn't have saved him, ultimately.

reply

No doubt about it, when he gave the first explanation for Peachfuzz. Who would believe that qualified as children's entertainment. But, if I let that slip, I'd for sure bail after the second explanation. No *beep* way did he get that at the 99 cent store.

Oh,wait. That would be after he showed me the pix he took of me,which would creep me out enough to leave.

Hang on, actually, after he explained the job,because anyone can film themselves (and do better than Aaron) .

Can you tell that I didn't care for this movie?

reply

so basically, He acknowledged me in my car after scaring me a bit, I'd be like hmm wtf ok cool whatever... Just a dude with some sense of humor.. I'm use to that... I go into his cabin and he's talking about what he want from me and took out some hard cash.. OK sure, I'm game. After taking off his underpants and playing like 7 year old kid in a bathtub, I'd be concerned of his well being.. Not enough to throw me off. Well, The sh!t that would make me leave is the constant wanting to scare me to get a predator out of me.. and his reason behind it.. "Sorry dude, Here's your cash, I'm out" I'd politely return it. If he doesn't want to accept and trying to BS me further, I'd ignore his reason and say sorry, Obviously you don't got respect for me as I'm here for you and I don't time for this kind of BS.

Whatever the next move he tried to pulls, Obviously not great with hand to hand, I'd take him out instantly.. go to cops who would realistically acknowledge my issue and stay at a hotel for a good couple weeks while an investigation take place.

At the beginning when while waiting in his car for Josef to show up. Josef sneaks up on the car and bangs on the door and scares the sh!t out of Aaron. That would have ended this adventure for me.

First I would call him many choice names through the rolled up car window. "YOU MOTHER FKING PIECE OF SH!T LOW LIFE AHOLE.

Then I would have backed the car out of the driveway making sure I ran over Josef's foot.

Then I would have taken a dump at the end of his driveway.

Then I would have left a note saying "Have a nice day.....sh!thead.

I guess that would not have made much of a movie though.

lol. It's a helluva reaction though. I would've loved to see Aaron do that. Great answer.

I would've bailed at that moment too.

I know it's been over a year since this was posted, but I just had to say this is probably the funniest post I've seen on any imdb board. I'm still giggling. XD

reply

I think I would have stopped before agreeing to a mysterious job on Craigslist.

reply

Wife rape story would've done it for me. At that point i'd take the grand out of my pocket n beamed outta there. Too bad Josef stashed the car key, i wonder if a taxi would've gone out there during the middle of the night.

reply

I agree. That rape story for sure would have made me bail.
But that whole 'pancake breakfast' thing probably would have made me very wary...possibly to the point of leaving.
I mean, he says "What's good here?" as if he'd never been there (which he hadn't).

I also never (No matter who I was with) would have let my car keys out of my sight.
That's common sense.
Never mind my keys or 'trying to find Josef'. I'd take that woman's advice & book it out of there on foot!! Even if I died of exposure or even if Josef caught up with me, at least I would have tried!

Anyone else find it odd that Aaron never even asks/finds out what Josef's last name is?
And why doesn't he ask where his wife is?

Didn't he discover America?
Penfold, shush.

When he insisted on hugging me right away. If someone I just met cannot respect that boundary right off, I can't expect them to respect any.

reply

Uptight Mister! What's wrong with a hug? It's not like he grabbed his nuts or his ass or something. Besides for a grand i'd give him as many hugs as he desired.

Actually I am not uptight at all. There is nothing wrong with hugs and I actually hug all of my friends when I see them. I am a very hugging person. However, this is a man that I have never met and that has hired me to a do a job for him and he doesn't even ask permission for the hug, he just walks right up and forces it on Aaron. Not liking that does not make me uptight, it makes Josef rude for not respecting boundaries.

reply

I don't know if I'd bail on him for hugging me, but I would not be pleased.
I agree about private boundaries. I do not like people I don't know well, never mind someone I just MET, trying to hug me or kiss my cheek.

Nor do I like people who literally step into your private space while talking to you. You know when they are doing this deliberately, because when you take a step back...they take a step forward!
Not liking that.

This thread is hilarious! 

In addition, it was a hug just moments after rushing the car to scare you.

For me, the initial car rush scare would've put me off. Just thinking as an adult and trying to do business with someone, it's a crazy way to start.

In light of Aaron's position, videotaping someone for a job, maybe it was a bit weird, but he probably had seen worse before. I was surprised he went up for a drink b/c my thinking by then would've been "that drink is gonna be spiked". Plus, of course, that was after Josef admitted he had stalked Aaron.


 me.
