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 defiant slow burn.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jun 6, 2014

Mr. Goldthwait gives us lovely, buttery daylight scenes, nicely relaxed leads and dialogue that pays attention to fluctuating gender dynamics.

| Jun 5, 2014

The parts are greater than the whole, but there's a lot to like here, including the easy interplay between the leads.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jun 5, 2014

He may be seriously slumming by putting a modern spin on 1972's The Legend Of Boggy Creek, but at least Goldthwait's done his homework.

| Original Score: B- | Jun 5, 2014

A found-footage horror cheapie that turns out to be its creator's warmest, most satisfying work.

| Jun 3, 2014

A unique representation of the tension between those who scoff at the Bigfoot legend and others willing to accept the mythology as gospel.

| Original Score: B+ | Jun 3, 2014

Though it's disappointing to see Goldthwait step away from the conceptual audacity of his previous work ... Willow Creek does everything a little bit better than others of its kind.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jun 3, 2014

Bobcat Goldthwait's effective yet wholly unnecessary contribution to the genre of horror movies allegedly recovered from the hard drives of dead cameramen.

| Jun 2, 2014

Bobcat Goldthwait exposes the characteristic male pursuit of power to which females are often made subservient.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jun 1, 2014

Willow Creek is yet another found-footage horror film but it's a fresh and engaging one, combining tongue-in-cheek humour with some genuinely creepy moments.

| Original Score: 4/5 | May 2, 2014

An unlikely but effective found-footage horror from Goldthwait.

| Original Score: 3/5 | May 2, 2014

As a horror film using that now-tired device, "found footage" supposedly shot by the characters themselves, it's quite passable.

| Original Score: 3/5 | May 1, 2014

Some really fine stuff in here, and much more too it than a nuts-'n'-bolts monster movie.

| Original Score: 3/5 | May 1, 2014

Willow Creek doesn't take us anywhere new -- the climax is abrupt and unsatisfying -- but it's a whole lot of jarring, juddering fun while it lasts.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 29, 2014
