Fella_shibby I first saw this on a DVD in 2009. Blood Creek is a very stylish, very original, atmospheric, creepy, tense, interesting n efficient horror film that features a solid cast and good direction by the veteran Schumacher. The movie begins in the 30s on a farmland of a German immigrant family. A nazi (Fassbender) visits their home so he can work on his experiments involving the occult. He is so deep into the black magic, he can bring dead birds back to life. Whoa!Fast forward, a farmer (Cavill) receives a visit one night from his brother (Purcell) who went missing for months in a forest. He ropes his bruv into taking him back to the farm where he had been held captive and getting his revenge on the family that kept him there. The tension n mayhem begins. It has plenty of stuff for horrror fans, blood-drinking, bloodletting, torture, bone-knives through chins, all sorts of shotgun violence, dog stabbings, zombie violence, demon with one eye in the middle of the forehead ( scary one) - very intimidating monster n for the first time a zombie horse.Some may b put off by the hand-held shaky cam work.

siderite This is a horror movie about a Nazi necromancer, that means he can raise dead things to do his bidding. The actor interpreting the Nazi is Michael Fassbender. The director is Joel Schumacher. Now, with a premise like that, I expected a great movie, especially since I've read a review describing it in very positive words. Instead, I get a slight twist of a typical zombie/monster movie. I was disappointed.What was amazing was how the movie started. Fassbender coming from Germany to the US, doing his nice guy voice (but with a German accent) explaining to a little girl how he can raise the dead, now that he had found a runic stone. Then a lot of detailed action and scenes explaining the story of the paramedic brother of a soldier lost in Iraq. Then suddenly the brother returns, all rags and long hair, asking for help to get guns and shoot people.Then the film turns into the typical "group trapped with a monster and they have to kill him before it kills them" thing. The dichotomy between to two parts of the movie was shocking, like someone did two different films and then spliced them together, and therefore I can't really recommend the movie, except as a well done monster flick. Go in with low expectations and you might enjoy it fully.

Ratatosk73 *****************SPOILER ALERT*************** It just makes no sense.Medics working in the middle of a shooting with the deranged shooter walking with the gun meters from them. They are working on a guy who is splurting blood in the liters from his neck, talk about quick reaction and being immune to reason. The police are not shooting a loony who points a gun in their direction. People "drinking meth" and then explode while this all takes place.The vet is in super shape after 2 years of hanging in a trailer used a as a blood bag. 1 long range rifle, 1 shotgun. The vet storms the house with the rifle and gives the shotgun as long range backup to his brother. The vet doesn't explain anything to his brother. The vet takes his hippy anti-violence brother with him but not his brothers in arms. The brother takes anti-rabies with him on a pay back mission. And uses this while his brother is storming a house full of maniacs. The vet doesn't kill the people that tortured him for 2 years. And that was the whole idea. The vet's place has been taken a week before he escaped. The vet's wounds are healed. 100 year old guy with knife in left hand is shot in right shoulder 1 sec before planting it in vet's chest and suddenly decides to run to no logical destination, away from his mother an sister. And this is a guy who has been slaughtering for at least 70 years. An 80 year old in a young body can't kill a retarded hippy standing 1 meter away with a knife she has been using most of that time. The medic doesn't hold any resentment for the people who tortured his brother. And falls in love with one. After telling everyone for 15 minutes how he would have died for his brother. Whom he resents deeply 5 minutes later. The girl tries to kill the medic for no reason. The monster escapes 5 minutes after the storm the house for no given reason after being 'locked up' for 70 years.Guy trading 5 crates of glass jars of jam(?) for a bag op onions and some apples. Even if this was just for the suspense, it is still retarded.Guy executed by a shot to the head, brought back from the dead and is put down by destroying his ... brains.etc etc etcNot a second of this movie makes any sense whatsoever.And it could have been so easy. Make the escaped brother the medic (and leave him wounded and hurt but knowing they have to act now). And the vet the one out for revenge for his brother and the one people blame for his disappearance. Direct the anger of the vet against the people on the farm first while the escaped brother knows more but is not believed by the vet. Add in a nasty bit of juvenile abuse/love by the Nazi to explain the knowledge of the girl to destroy the monster. And have her release he medic out of love for a good heart. Have the monster binded to the stone until his metamorphosis, but with most of the needed stuff (why does he take the bone-armor with him from Germany?) to destroy him in his circle of influence. This one could do with a make over. Why is it that people used to think before they shot or published? Nicely shot though. Just turn your brain off before you press play.

Brian Bell I assume if you are reading this review you enjoy horror movies to some degree. Blood Creek is by no means a movie you need to own, but its totally worth watching (its currently on Netfilx's Instant Stream in HD and 5.1!). Ignore the fact that this film is a Joel Schumacher film, its no where near as good as The Lost Boys but its MUCH better than Batman & Robin. And for an almost unknown horror action film, its quite fun! The films opening actually starts in the 1930's, in black and white, and is not needed. This scene was probably added by the studio once Michael Fassbender became popular due to Inglorious Bastards, as its the only time you ever see his face without undead makeup. The movie picks up pretty quick from there (now modern day), and soon its two brothers off to battle a family with a dark secret. Soon there is a powerful Nazi (Fassbender, who is part zombie, part necromancer, part vampire) who spawns zombies and undead animals and who will stop at nothing to feed upon the humans remaining at this secluded farmhouse and free himself to terrorize the world. The movie has a lower budget feel to it, with a small cast and the majority of the film taking place at this farm. However, with its action movie pacing, lots of blood and fun gore, and original elements, despite its flaws it a fun 90 minute ride. If after reading this review you are still interested, check this movie out, its a good time. If this doesn't sound like fun, well, go watch something else! Like, My Name is Bruce, perhaps...
