“Willow Creek” (2013)
Found footage again. The first half is great, a Blair Witch style slow build but it soon becomes clear that this film’s restraint is its biggest fault. Not much happens at all until the last few seconds!
The two leads are likeable and the whole idea is something that could work well. But it’s just a bit dull.
The standout scene is a five minute single take inside a tent which starts with an awkward marriage proposal and ends with (we assume) Bigfoot stomping around outside. It’s all played off the character’s reactions to the sounds outside and it’s brilliant. Shame the rest of the film wasn’t up to the same standard.
I give it 2 unfriendly bearded yokels out of 5
