Sorry, this movie sucks

This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

I'll be honest Bigfoot creeps me out. It has ever since I was a little kid. I'm both fascinated and horrified by it. Living where I do and being surrounded by forest has always put the possibility of a large bipedal creature roaming the woods in the back of my mind. It's one of those things I can creep myself out on by just thinking too much about it. For the most part, there haven't been too many Sasquatch related films I didn't find hokey or cheesy. Willow Creek has been one I've heard about since it was released and wanted to see, but I had been unable to catch it on any of the streaming services and I didn't want to blind buy it. I was pleasantly surprised to find it on Shudder, problem solved. Like most found footage films, this starts out with us getting to know the two main characters. We travel with them on their journey to shoot a Bigfoot documentary and get to learn a little about each of them as we go. The two actors feel like a real couple. There's believable chemistry between them and it pulls you into their journey. What sets this apart from other found footage films is it actually manages to build good tension when things start to go awry. There were a few jumpy moments simply because of that. It also had you anxiously waiting to see what was going to happen next. The last 20-25 min of the film makes the whole journey worthwhile, even if it was a bit telegraphed and on the predictable side. It was more about the when rather than the if. In general, I'm not a found footage fan. I feel more often than not, it's used as a cheap cop-out, and that happened a lot after Blair Witch. Even if Willow Creek doesn't re-invent the wheel or can be at times slightly predictable in the narrative it's very enjoyable. The short runtime is a huge plus as well. I would have to put this up there as one of the better found footage style films I've seen. Like many of them, it has some drawbacks, tropes and annoying things they all do, but for the most part, those moments aren't as prevalent as in other films.This was definitely worth a watch and I'm glad I finally got to see it.My Rating: 6.5/10

This is just a rip off of all the other "pretending to be real" documentaries like Blair Witch, Paranormal Activities, etc.I couldn't even get past the first 15 minutes. The acting is unbelievably bad! I was surprised, I thought Bobcat was better than this, but it's just awful!

Wow! The last 15 minutes of this are truly horrifying.It's difficult to breath while watching it. And those last few minutes?? ... Well you are going to be haunted by those for quite some time. Don't miss this. And don't let anyone tell you a WORD about it before you watch.

It all started with a couple especially the guy who was more interested in finding if the legend of bigfoot is really true and also if the sightings of bigfoot were also true, so they head their way out to willow creek where the sightings were filmed long back to the exact film location. So is Bigfoot really there is the sightings and all true? Guys you have to find that out by watching this movie.Story vise I saw similarities with this movie and Blair witch movie, so the concepts have been the same, I love documented movies and if it contains horror then a lot more, yes this movie did scare me it had those elements placed in the right areas, the ending was kind of predictable.This movie is worth a shot.Notable ActingBryce Johnson Alexie GilmoreMy Rating 7/10
