jtindahouse I've never made any secret of the fact that I'm a big fan of the "found-footage" genre. I really enjoy almost every film that is made this way. It just makes sense as a story-telling style to me. For the most part though it seems to me that people are sick of the concept and no longer have any time for it. 'Willow Creek' was made back in 2013 when the genre was basically in its dying stages (films are still made in this style, but less and less frequently). So did 'Willow Creek' breed fresh life into the concept, or was it simply another nail in the coffin? The answer lies somewhere in the middle.The film is very simple in its premise. Basically a documentary is being made about Bigfoot by a young couple and they head to a small town, do some interviews with the locals, and then head into the forest to see if they can find Bigfoot for themselves. Sounds simple? It is. Probably too simple. I understand films like 'The Blair Witch Project' pulled it off with basically exactly that formula, but the problem is that was 20 years ago which implies the genre has gone absolutely nowhere in that time. That's simply not true.The film isn't bad though I wouldn't say. There's a quite incredible 18 minute long one-take scene (according to the IMDb trivia section at least) that is surprisingly well done. The main couple have enough chemistry and charisma to carry things and there is enough creepiness in the atmosphere to keep it interesting. This is a middle of the road horror film.

Tina Willis The reason for the score of 7,(higher then I would of given it) is for the most part, the two main characters. They were absolutely flawless in their roles. So VERY believable and realistic. Like other reviewers I agree that the first part of the movie did drag and would of benefited the film drastically had the build up been cut by at least half. Now the quality of the rest of this cinematic attempt is by and large very good. But as I am an avid camper and outdoors person, the tent scene did not scare me. Much of the non verbal sounds were in reality, what I have heard out in the woods. (Some wild cats sound like a baby crying, and racoons are notorious trouble makers) And the verbal sounds were just too obviously man-made. (my thoughts kept going to the crew off scene, and the many thousands of times as a kid that my friends, me included, did stuff exactly like that to try and scare each other while out camping) I suppose if camping and being in the wilderness and tent is something you don't do, this could be scary for you. It just made me laugh.

Hezakiah4 Spoiler Alert if you can call it that !!I saw it was coming up on the idiot box so hit the record on the DVR. I hoped it was one of those movies that drags on forever then gets really good near the end,but this wasn't the case.Unless sheer boredom is your thing,let me boil this waste of screen down for you.Boyfriend and girlfriend drive to where the fake Bigfoot footage was shot.Stop and eat at burger joint, then drive into sticks to be confronted by some redneck looking yutz that won't let them drive down dirt road to spot.Boyfriend knows other road that goes partway there.Park and walk,Set up camp.Boyfriend goes swimming.Come back to tore up camp.Look around and get scared by a raccoon Wake up that night to noises and a whap on the tent. .Huddle scared til dawn. Try to walk out and get lost.Huddle scared in woods.Walk more and huddle scared in what looks like cave.Try to head out at night like they wouldn't get lost even more than when they tried in the daytime. More noises and flash of fat half naked woman.Attacked and beat the crap out of by what I assume is a Bigfoot since you never see the creature the entire movie.Boyfriend dragged away short distance and you hear his girlfriend yelling for help.End of movie.The description above is 10 times more exciting and entertaining than staring at this drivel for the better part of two hours. Go watch your dog scratch or soap bubbles pop while soaking dishes in the sink for a much better time.

poopznevabroke If I could've rated this with zero stars I would've. Who played the girlfriend role, she was awful. The movie had no plot and was quite frankly just boring. IMDb probably paid for those other "good" reviews. The best actor in the whole movie was the hillbillie. The starting female actress should never act again, I still can't get over how horrendous of an actress she was. The starring male role isn't able to show emotion or anything. They both should get lost in those woods where they filmed this movie. Don't WASTE YOUR TIME !!!!!!! STAY AWAY FROM THIS TERRIBLE MOVIE. It isn't scary and I'm pretty sure my 8 year old daughter and her 3rd grade friends can make a scarier movie. I made an account just to leave this review. I feel like since they wasted my time I might as well.
