Watch Blood Creek For Free

Sick Product of a Sick System

One of my all time favorites.

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

The story is very weak. They tried to give the movie some background by throwing in Nazis and Hitler's ambition for immortality but to no avail. Take out the Nazi bit and its a horror cliché, with a sorcerer turning himself into monster to be immortal and has to consume blood to go on. Gee we haven't seen that one before!The zombies (vampires?) are not scary and the main guy is first a mummy then he becomes Hellraiser without the pins. The animal slaughter is not scary but simply repulsive.I've only given the movie 5 stars because Henry Cavill is super hot and gives us at least something to look at (yes I'm superficial so what?) and Michael Fassbender steals the movie in the short time he appears as human. Don't waste your time if you're not a Cavill fan like me.

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.

The premise is interesting, but it never becomes anything more than a premise. Forgetting the various, small and big, plot holes (arriving at the farm-lair in the morning, then an hour later it's already night and oh man, we've procrastinated so long we haven't done anything; then again we never quite realise why the family has been feeding the trapped vampire, or how and why he made them immortal), the film doesn't really use its promising elements: the nazi-side of the villain is virtually forgotten after the intro. The third eye thing seems a sloppy addition put there because it seems occult. The final confrontation is an unnecessary move by the bad guy so he can be defeated. All in all, you'd think a good actor like Fassbender would have been given a more substantial role. A decent horror film, but nothing particularly memorable.

I should have known better really. Whenever a film is made that consists of actors who are more well known for being in TV shows ( In this case Henry Cavill - Tudors and Dominic Purcell - Prison Break ) they tend to turn out to be Turkeys. In the case of Blood Creek , this is a Turkey big enough to feed a whole country at Christmas.As far as i can tell , this is the story of a family of German descendent's who call on the services of a Nazi general from Germany but only end up being haunted by this man who has occultist powers.I think that's what it was about anyway because this film was a complete and utter mess from start to finish. I have no idea what director Joel Schumacher was on when he made this film .It looks like he shot a few hundred scenes , threw them on the cutting room floor and put them all back together in the wrong order.I haven't seen a horror film as bad as this since The number 23 - Directed by ? You've guessed it . Joel Schumacher.On this showing i think it's about time he gave up directing and concentrated n something he's good at because directing isn't one of them.
