The experience is one you’ll not soon forget.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jul 18, 2022

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

| Mar 4, 2021

Willow Creek builds suspense in the most minimalist of ways, but the time it takes to get you there, combined with a short payoff, ultimately lets the viewer down.

| Jan 2, 2021

While the set-up may hold some initial promise, Willow Creek is absent of Goldthwaite's usual wit and cutting commentary.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 30, 2019

Sasquatch deserves far better treatment than an hour of found footage retread and a 20-minute take of things going bump in the night.

| Original Score: 2.25/5 | Jul 18, 2019

Willow Creek feels like a film that's shown up to the party over a decade after it ended.

| Original Score: 4/10 | Jun 18, 2019

The inherent silliness of the concept begins to rub off. It soon becomes difficult to dismiss the suspicion that Goldthwait had set out to make a comic horror but forgot to insert any laughs.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Mar 21, 2019

I was literally leaning towards the screen during the last 20 minutes-one long, slow take of greatness-so I could fully take in everything that was happening.

| Mar 2, 2019

A cleverly executed thriller, as intriguing for where it will go as it is to wonder what Goldthwait will do next.

| Nov 30, 2018

Af ound footage experience that actually works.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Oct 11, 2015

Probably the best Bigfoot horror flick out there.

| Aug 24, 2015

Enthusiasts of the simplicity of the original "Blair Witch" picture will admire that it falls well within the tradition of keeping things low-tech.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | May 6, 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

| Jan 5, 2015

Willow Creek is a well-crafted, slow-burning horror that uses the found footage approach to deliver a movie that is just as much about what you don't see as what you do. A found footage movie as it should be done.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Jan 5, 2015

While the final "reveal" feels at once expected but out of nowhere, Willow Creek is a solid look inside the mind of someone obsessed with one of our weird national myths.

| Jan 5, 2015

Bobcat Goldthwait has proven himself to be such an outside-the-box visionary, it's unfathomable that his fertile mind could produce something as pedestrian as Willow Creek.

| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Jan 5, 2015

I love all of Goldthwait's films (except one) but I wasn't sure what his goal was with Willow Creek. I can rest assured now that like any good filmmaker, he wanted to take the audience for a hell of a ride and tell a great story. He has succeeded.

Full Review | Original Score: 4/5 | Jan 5, 2015

It's definitely worth watching and it's impressive what Goldthwait and his two leads were able to accomplish with what couldn't have been much more than a $100 budget and a weekend.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jan 5, 2015

Willow Creek's mixture of quizzical documentary and gripping horror film is the effective result.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jan 5, 2015

Willow Creek is the best found footage shocker in ages, a statement that speaks volumes about the floundering genre.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Sep 17, 2014
