What to Know

Critics Consensus

Writer-director Bobcat Goldthwait's first foray into horror doesn't break any new ground, but it does wring fresh terror from a well-worn genre formula -- and offers a few nasty laughs in the bargain.

Frank Scheck The Hollywood Reporter 01/05/2015
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 Go to Full Review Brian Tallerico RogerEbert.com 06/06/2014

"Willow Creek" is a defiant slow burn. Go to Full Review Jeannette Catsoulis New York Times 06/05/2014
Mr. Goldthwait gives us lovely, buttery daylight scenes, nicely relaxed leads and dialogue that pays attention to fluctuating gender dynamics. Go to Full Review David Day Horror Movie Talk Sep 23
6/10
The direction by Bobcat Goldthwait is simple and unobtrusive, but it makes sure to pay homage to all the tropes that you might expect it to. Willow Creek knows it’s lane, which is cheap, barebones, short, and mostly improvised. Go to Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review 07/18/2022

Bobcat Goldthwait's Willow Creek is the first film in quite some time to give me those foundation shaking, temperature-changing scares. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Jacob H @jakeholland 3d Boring. Nothing ever comes of it. No closure or meaning. Low level very budget film See more Wesley K @RT06867227 4d This is one of the most useless films I've ever seen. "It's like watching paint dry in the woods". Completely accurate statement. See more Banff 9 @Banff98 Apr 29 I know the customer reviews are at a paltry 34%. But, if you've ever watched with guilty pleasure "In Search of Bigfoot," from the Leonard Nimoy-narrated series from the 70's, and have seen "The Blair Witch Project" more than five times, give this film a look. It's campy good fun. The five minutes the couple spends with the guy they cast as the Bigfoot specialist is worth the price of admission, and the last 30 minutes--though drawn out in parts--are about as tense as those scenes in the tent during "Blair Witch." Can't believe Bobcat Goldthwait wrote and directed this! See more WrighteousJ T. @wrighteousj Apr 22 An absolute slog with no story, dread, or scares. It’s like watching paint dry in the woods. A waste of an hour. Spend your time with a deserving horror. See more Lacey B @RT47662469 Apr 22 Nope. Big miss. I had to put it on 2x speed just to get through it, and there never ended up being a payoff. See more Shaun K. @sbk36081 Apr 9 I disliked this movie big time. Its a waste of time to watch it See more Read all reviews
