Willow Creek

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Writer-director Bobcat Goldthwait's first foray into horror doesn't break any new ground, but it does wring fresh terror from a well-worn genre formula -- and offers a few nasty laughs in the bargain.

Frank Scheck The Hollywood Reporter Jan 5, 2015
Despite the impressively committed performances by the two leads and the screenplay's touches of sly humor, the proceedings are mostly all too redolent of the endless found-footage horror films that have followed in the wake of The Blair Witch Project Go to Full Review

"Willow Creek" is a defiant slow burn. Go to Full Review
Jeannette Catsoulis New York Times Jun 5, 2014
Mr. Goldthwait gives us lovely, buttery daylight scenes, nicely relaxed leads and dialogue that pays attention to fluctuating gender dynamics. Go to Full Review

6/10
The direction by Bobcat Goldthwait is simple and unobtrusive, but it makes sure to pay homage to all the tropes that you might expect it to. Willow Creek knows it’s lane, which is cheap, barebones, short, and mostly improvised. Go to Full Review

Bobcat Goldthwait's Willow Creek is the first film in quite some time to give me those foundation shaking, temperature-changing scares. Go to Full Review

Hermione P Feb 11, 2019 An hour and eighteen minutes of nothing with roughly one minute of... loud? Director might have been going for suspense, but with nothing to back it up, itï¿ 1/2 1/2(TM)s mostly just strings of ten minute long shots of the leadsï¿ 1/2 1/2(TM) faces as they do nothing (or have the same placid argument over and over) and nothing happens in the background. Just look at the poster and appreciate that itï¿ 1/2 1/2(TM)s more enjoyable than the entire film. See more
Nov 3, 2018 Fergus Stapleton. Quite simply not enough happens in this film. Good start with great scenery and an engaging couple in search of Bigfoot. Interview locals etc which goes on a bit too long. Enter the woods and after a short time whole thing comes to an abrupt end. Film makers must have thought this was clever but I found it underwhelming. Actually worked better as a romantic drama than a horror film. See more
Abraham R Oct 28, 2018 I'm sure being high would help. Unfortunately, I wasn't high. The last 5 seconds were OK though.
Theodore R Jun 11, 2018 pas mal, genre blairwitch / docu. Je me demande encore si j'aurais voulu en voir plus ou pas... Oui, sans doute
Han S May 8, 2018 The only thing that would save this movie is if we finally get to see these irritating people eaten alive by Bigfoot but even that doesn't happen. See more
Anakin S Feb 4, 2018 Slow paced, but earnest and effective
