Very best movie i ever watch

Simply Perfect

Good start, but then it gets ruined

Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.

A couple driving through the desert crashes their car due to a blowout and are left stranded. They decide to head for a nearby town called Blood Creek to search for help and meet a mysterious stranger who calls himself Joseph.The film is directed by Adam Mason, a man whose greatest skill is creating great looking films for very little money, and the film does indeed look great. Unfortunately, it lacks the creative touch that was very apparent in his previous work The Devil's Chair (which I gave a very high score). Indeed, the film feels uninspired and watching it is a bit like going through the motions.This is a shame, because there is a glimpse of something great hiding within the religious angle that the film takes. I wish that this had been explored in more depth, but instead this is covered by clichés that border on parody.By far, the worst part of Blood Creek is the characterization of the two leads; the man is aggressive and loud, the woman is passive and dripping with tears. This is the case from the get-go and only gets worse as the film goes on. I assume that this is somewhat intentional, but it crosses the line between believable human flaws and annoying caricature.The best part is the performance of Andrew Howard as the mysterious traveler Joseph. While he does have the best material to work with, it is pretty clear that he is the one with the acting chops and he pretty much carries the film single-handedly.Despite the good craftsmanship (cinematography and sound is great), I would recommend watching something else. While Blood Creek is not offensively bad, it presents a handful of moments of annoyance and leaves no lasting impression.

I watched this film not really expecting much and not really knowing much about it.First of lets see two lovers on a desert highway, crash then end up meeting some weird preacher type figure who likes preying on people. sounds pretty much like every other horror of its type.your wrong.okay, the first 20-30mins is kinda boring but nonetheless mildly entertaining. however after the silent 30 min mark, when things start to pick up i found myself glued and guessing till the end.its starts to become quite an emotional/powerful movie about angels etc that you will either understand or not. The climax of the movie was very entertaining.. and the twist was phenomenal. With this said and with such a good story i think a lot more could of been done with this type of movie. however it is watchable the once.the acting wasn't so bad either.. the husband was outstanding and the preacher was phenomenal.all i say is gt past the 30 min mark and you'l be satisfied.. not the best movie out there but watchable.good directing and camera work too.

"Blood River" is a real surprise... I did not expect much and was pretty much blown away since everything in this movie seems to fit perfectly until the song in the credits. The movie starts with a couple heading through the desert and passing a cowboy style guy. They stop in a motel where he re-appears and his face first shows when he lays prayers on the motel owner who ends up slitting her own wrists with a cross carved in her forehead. The couple continues their journey just to have a tire burst and be stuck in the middle of the desert and end up in an abandoned town called "Blood river". I was expecting the whole thing to turn into a cheesy horror movie but it doesn't. Cowboy guy soon re-appears, introduces himself as Jo and starts playing mind games with the couple, the tension between him and the husband rises slowly and the whole atmosphere captures you. There's awesome shots of the desert since right in the title sequence, the acting is stunning and carries a lot of the movie. The final revelation between Jo and the wife is awesome and I hope actress Tess Panzer has a bright future ahead of her since I haven't been captured by such solid acting for a while.The first half of the movie unfolds a little like Kalifornia with the mysterious psycho unmasking his character piece by tiny piece and the dread rising slowly. The tension is thick like in Wolf Creek but there's plenty of hints thrown in that Jo is not the psycho killer you expect at first. All the pieces come together in the end when the constant bible preaching in the radio, the re-appearing crosses and Jos strange philosophical and religious monologues start to make sense."Blood River" after all is a movie about sin and repentance ... the basic idea has been the a hundred times before, but the movie manages to leave enough room for the viewer to reflect the impressions on himself. I wonder if I was the only one having the credits roll to the end while listening to the dark title song in the end and thinking of my own wrongdoings. If a movie manages to capture you that deep in its atmosphere that is quite an achievement. I know some of the directors previous movies like "Broken" but none remotely comes close to this one. "Blood River" is one of those rare underground gems I found on the sidelines of the horror genre which I am surely going to recommend to every movie fanatic I meet. So be sure to put it on your list too!

WOW!!!!!!! Blood River is amazing, It freaks you out, opens your mind, makes you think and really sticks to you. It's a truly unforgettable classic film. The cast was small but the acting was brilliant, intense, captivating and believable. The writers did a magnificent job of developing the characters, scene and entire storyline. I would love to see how each of them actors/ writers/ producers, follow this up. This is how films should be made. I'm going to tell everyone I know that they have to see it.........I will definitely see it again many times. I'm glad I went to the Newport Beach Film Festival. To all involved..........GREAT JOB!!!!!!
