Better Late Then Never
A different way of telling a story
this is it this director should be given a chance to direct a doom video game if they ever rebooted it i absolutely love that game this director Joel Schumacher is one of the best i have seen most people hate him for ruining batman in 90s but i believe he likes over the top stuff when telling his stories and distances himself from reality.this film town creek or blood creek is one crazy film its got a unexpected cast & narrative actors like Henry Cavil & Michael Fassbender are highlights specially Fassbender he plays a psycho immortal villain trying to kill everyone his makeup is total scary he crept me out his good acting skills are added bonus.i agree with reviewers here this film is bloody disgusting at many points it includes animal violence a dog is killed by knife & horse gets shot multiple time still he wont die due to magic on him by the bad guy but here is the catch the film is not scary at all in fact its funny as it takes itself way to seriously it could have been a better film if the villain won sadly he looses.the pace is slow it does move forward with a decent speed half an hour i hated the ending the bad guy was about to become more powerful he was already creating havoc the big problem here is that it mixed it too many genre in one like Nazi,Hitler,witch craft,occult along with hostage situations.the plot:the story is about Richard Wirth who a century ago does some wrong things to a family then in present time a captor visits his brother & seeks revenge on his captors they both go to the town unaware of the horror awaits them.i won't reveal the details of whats the connection between family & these 2 brothers & how they come on the same side to defeat the evil but like i said this project feels something is missing it tries is best and does a good job at keeping the viewer hooked but falls short on proper execution.now one may ask what is the point of this whole film why this lame story was written at all involving Hitler apart from fiction some people still believe he was into magic & nonsense i wont go in those matters period,all i know is Joel Schumacher made this only for getting kicks out of the characters on the screen to put it simply Michael Fassbender is the man that owns this film as Richar Wirth he overshadows everyone i mean i ignored the plot and what was going on i was just looking at him.Overall Town Creek aka Blood Creek 2009 should be liked for what it is it is passable as a cheesy horror suspense film with Rated R scenes my rating is 5/10.Recommended
I do love a good horror film, which is a shame, seeing as there's so few about. Nowadays, I judge a film with how long it can hold my attention before I start logging onto the net and only half-watching.Blood Creek actually held my attention until the end. Not that I'm saying it's a masterpiece, but it seemed to at least hold a shred of originally in its matrix.There is some bad though - lack of character development, rushed beginning (normally you have to wait ages to get into the story, but it seemed that the viewer got thrown in there pretty quick) and jerky/dark fight scenes where you can't tell who's who.However, I felt it was slightly original and you didn't quite know where it was going. It's about a man who's haunted by the loss of his brother (who disappeared during a fishing trip). The brother returns late one night and they embark on a quest for revenge that takes them up against those most dastardly of villains - Nazis (and supernatural ones at that - and, let me tell you, they're the worst kind!).The gore was good (you may have to squint a bit to ignore the slightly bad 'horse on fire' scene), but, apart from that, it has enough twists and turns to hopefully keep you interested to the end.
This is one of the movies that make you say "And so?". The film is not as bad as the critics state, but it is not even a hidden gem. It is a mediocre movie by a mediocre director. It starts off very well, but after 30 minutes everything starts to degenerate and the plot makes no sense at all. To make the situation even worse, there is nothing spectacular in the special effect compartments; dialogs are pretty dull too. The storyline is quite appealing, but when it came to shoot the movie probably Joel Schumacher decided to have a drink or two and mess it up completely. Still, you can see some nice ideas that give you hopes... but unfortunately, nothing great will happen on screen. My verdict: a high quality waste of time.
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.
