I've never made any secret of the fact that I'm a big fan of the "found-footage" genre. I really enjoy almost every film that is made this way. It just makes sense as a story-telling style to me. For the most part though it seems to me that people are sick of the concept and no longer have any time for it. 'Willow Creek' was made back in 2013 when the genre was basically in its dying stages (films are still made in this style, but less and less frequently). So did 'Willow Creek' breed fresh life into the concept, or was it simply another nail in the coffin? The answer lies somewhere in the middle.The film is very simple in its premise. Basically a documentary is being made about Bigfoot by a young couple and they head to a small town, do some interviews with the locals, and then head into the forest to see if they can find Bigfoot for themselves. Sounds simple? It is. Probably too simple. I understand films like 'The Blair Witch Project' pulled it off with basically exactly that formula, but the problem is that was 20 years ago which implies the genre has gone absolutely nowhere in that time. That's simply not true.The film isn't bad though I wouldn't say. There's a quite incredible 18 minute long one-take scene (according to the IMDb trivia section at least) that is surprisingly well done. The main couple have enough chemistry and charisma to carry things and there is enough creepiness in the atmosphere to keep it interesting. This is a middle of the road horror film.

I must admit sometimes I like the found footage genre and sometimes I don't, this movie doesn't try to bullshit you with "this was found in the woods blah blah blah" but all the same, it obviously is and has a style about it similar to Blair Witch.Its about looking for Bigfoot and the movie starts slowly, and builds up throughout the movie to a final 20 or so minutes that were shot in one continuous shot (I think) - the acting is pretty good, the directing, the storyline, the filming & sound are all pretty first rate actually.Its well worth watching and I found the last twenty minutes pretty riveting and bought into the two main characters terror - Kelly's terror was especially good.

It all started with a couple especially the guy who was more interested in finding if the legend of bigfoot is really true and also if the sightings of bigfoot were also true, so they head their way out to willow creek where the sightings were filmed long back to the exact film location. So is Bigfoot really there is the sightings and all true? Guys you have to find that out by watching this movie.Story vise I saw similarities with this movie and Blair witch movie, so the concepts have been the same, I love documented movies and if it contains horror then a lot more, yes this movie did scare me it had those elements placed in the right areas, the ending was kind of predictable.This movie is worth a shot.Notable ActingBryce Johnson Alexie GilmoreMy Rating 7/10

I enjoyed this one. I either like found footage or find myself shutting them off before I get a migraine. This was done very well. If this was done years ago I would have given it more stars. But it's not all that original. Not only is there a slew of Big foot movies out there but most of them are found footage one's. Goldwaith, known for his off beat antics in movies and standup, does a great job directing a serious horror-thriller. Have to give him kudos for stepping outside his comfort zone. He has talent beyond what we knew. If you're going to pick a Big foot movie pick this one.
