Director Bobcat Goldthwait steps away from his usual black comedy and ventures into the world of found footage horror with Willow Creek.
When it all comes down to it, this is pretty much The Blair Witch Project except with an elusive Sasquatch and that's all right considering the fun to be had. Goldthwait's characters have always been oblivious to their own actions which always ends with nasty consequences, so dabbling in horror seems like the inevitable. Here he gives a huge slow-burn which is pretty much us just hanging out with the film-makers for nearly the entire film that leads to an undies-soiling 20 minute single-take static shot that is well worth the wait.
It ain't high art or particularly great but if you're going to have a horror movie marathon one night, then this should be the one to get the ball rolling.
