The only "horror" that comes from this movie is the horror you will experience after watching it when you try to figure out how in the world something this bad could be made and go insane. Also I am horrified that someone actually paid $1.99 to get this horrible DVD and all they bought with that money was the opportunity to have one and a half hours of their sweet precious life stolen away from them! I want my hour in a half back, how was I even able to sit through this horrible movie? I have never seen worse acting and the script is so awful it goes beyond being laughingly bad (which at least isn't a total loss because you at least get a couple laughs out of it, some enjoyment) to just awful bad. This movie really is that bad. Again I can't complain enough about the horrible direction, pathetic writing that seems to have been done by a 7 year old boy who just watched Blair Witch Project or maybe even just improvised on the fly by the terrible cast, which again reminds me to complain about how awful the actors are in this awful awful movie. I certainly hope whoever made this movie never ever works again.

Very cruddy

A handful uniformly annoying and unappealing young adult campers decide to check out a backwoods area known as Blood Creek to confirm if stories about the place being haunted have any basis in truth. Guess what happens next? Writer/director Sean Cisterna, working from an overly blah, talky, and by-the-numbers formulaic script by Robert Lazar, crucially fails to generate any true tension or spooky atmosphere and allows the uninvolving story to plod along at a painfully sluggish pace. Worse yet, Cisterna uses an off-putting hopped-up style that's far too clumsy and self-conscious to work for a minute (the excessive use of sudden jump cuts is especially grating). But it's the incredibly hateful and insufferable characters who completely sink this flick: We've got the obnoxious toolbag bully, a surly sarcastic slacker dude, a hopelessly unfunny "comic relief" nerd, and a trio of bitchy gals with all the charm of a ten pound bag of fresh green snot. One quite simply has zero sympathy for these deplorable individuals and wishes that each and every last one of them would suffer a brutal and protracted death. The generic ooga booga music, overly bright cinematography, and tiresome fake scares don't help matters any. It takes seemingly forever for something remotely exciting to happen and by the time these kids finally start to get bumped off in the last reel one is well past the point of caring. An absolute wash-out.
My God! This is worse than anything you ever seen!

Blood Creek is a independent movie, so we should expect low budget FX etc... But there are Independent films that are great, even if they lack of substantial dollars to make it BIG like those made by Hollywood.
But Blood Creek reaches the stupidity, the abnormal and the laughable! The acting is obviously bad, the script lack from originality and the shooting is awry.
I saw Forest of the Damned and Death Tunnel and those were more than horrible, but with Blood Creek, I stumble into the abyss. Obviously, after seeing the first 5 minutes, you'll not have the difficult to know this is an amateur movie. All the ingredients that are used to cook a good film are forgotten or were too expensive to be included in it. This is a preposterous attempt to label it as Horror. Yeah, it shows deaths and "creepy" scenes, but you can't take them into real serious consideration... it's absolutely risible and a mirthful experience. You just need to watch the first 2 murder scenes (at the beginning) and you'll cry/laugh like a crazy madman!
There's one scene where a stupid guy is in a barn faceless looking into nothing or just waiting if rain falls inside, and then, a subtle hand of the ghost/killer brushes his shoulder from behind in a childish way of filming. He then looks back with a face of "I am the biggest dork on Earth" and keeps looking faceless around and around... try to picture it for yourself...
If you want a good dose of laughs then go see this movie. They say this is about Horror but it's like going on a Sunday afternoon to the circus to see the travesty clowns! People that enjoy and appreciates a good Horror movie will know very well what I am talking about...

Put Down The Icepick...
Retrovenger16 January 2010

There are low budget movies that are great, there are ones that are good, and there are those that are awful. This movie plummets into the dark, festering puss of 'cinema'.
I would like to warn you their might be some spoilers, but for a movie this horrible and clique you probably already know how things go...
There was nothing really 'original and creepy' about this film, despite what I read on the Flash advertisement online. This movie was built upon childish writing, bullying and condensation of others, and lack of formula film making. Occasionally it reminds us it is a horror movie by adding some spooky music and dead people vanishing, but it is as close to horror as a child's scary prank. At points when someone should meet their fate they appear fine and none the wiser.
How this characters are friends is beyond belief. The girlfriends clearly have no true feminine sense for staying with such immature, testosterone imbalanced boys. The 'macho' male seems to only have one voice tone and lives for condescending everyone around him and never moves his hair from his face. The 'jock' should have been killed off the moment he walked on set for the first time. The 'funny man' tries way too hard to be funny and uses his recorder so much you wish for it to be shoved down his throat. After the first 20 min, if you can stand it that long(but I'm dedicated and sat through the whole thing), you'll wish to stab all of the characters in face with an icepick(thus the title of the review).
Human logic seems to be a failing factor as well. Characters can't jump down from 6ft up, unable to tell a mouse from a raccoon, can't light a candle when a lighter is lit(which was pointless when a lit lantern was at their feet).
As a mark or true idiocy and lack of professionalism, there is too much light where there shouldn't be light, the camera shakes too much, shots jump from one another as if there is poor video buffing. There is also a lack of knowledge of human anatomy with the baby skeleton looking like a mud doll.
This movie threw out everything that could have been half good and somehow stretched it to an hour and a half. When it came to wrapping things up, it fell flat on it's face with both knees shattered, killing people too little too late, especially the macho male lead(I personally wanted him to suffer more)...To sum up my banter of hatred, never watch this movie, never buy it, never rent it, never allow a friend to get it for you. If they do, hit them across the face with the DVD before burning it and throwing the blazing disc into the director's face. I couldn't even recommend this as a laugh, chuckle, giggle, or even a scoff; and I have seen "Manos: The Hands of Fate" but that was seen through the help of Mystery Science Theater 3000. Even MST3K could summon the courage to see one frame of this pile of excrement...

What not to do when making a movie
nathanjbell30 October 2011
Warning: Spoilers
Okay first off all, I am a fan of cheezy movies or ID movies. However this is the worst film I ever watched. There isn't anything in the movie to say anything positive about. The editing is the worst, the lighting is always wrong, the acting is so bad, the plot has so many WTF moments. If I had to say something positive about the movie, the audio was okay. Nothing popped or was blown out.
I'm almost tempted to email the editing company and ask them what the hell man!?! I am guessing that they didn't have enough good shots or B roll, so they had to cut the main camera in the middle of the conversations, leading to jumps that makes no sense.
Usually the blood is good in low budget movies, there was almost none when people got killed. The script supervisor didn't do their job. The gas station guy was "missing" a tooth in the beginning. Then he has perfect teeth later on.
There were many shots that you would question why did I just need to watch that.
Over all, I wouldn't watch this if I was paid.
Please tell me this is their first movie. If not, they need to find a new profession

I Never Knew How Bad Editing Could Be
timothygartin18 October 2019
This was a "stuff of legends" terrible movie. It is one of the worst movies I have ever watched all the way through. It became a complete train wreck that I couldn't stop watching.
The acting is horrible. There was not a single redeeming performance in this movie. The evil characters are laughable and the victims are hapless. The story is also horrible. This is a 90 minute movie. The characters don't even get to the haunted barn until 45 minutes have elapsed and the ghosts don't strike until 70 minutes in. This leaves only 20 minutes for the real story.
I can't really describe the story. The kids were doing some rituals but they did them wrongly. Some stuff happened. The kids tried to redo the rituals. I don't know if the redo worked.
Even with all this, I probably would have given this one a 2 or a 3 review if it wasn't for the editing. Occasionally, a movie has a jarring edit. This movie has one jarring, jumping edit after another. Characters move; scenes change; dialogue breaks. I have never seen anything this bad in any movie. I would pass on this movie just for this reason alone. It is actually disorienting.
This is a terrible movie. I do not recommend it.

Great low-budget horror flick!

Blood Creek is an interesting movie with a good story. You can tell the production value didn't have a lot of money, but I thought the actors did a good job. The story talks about a group of campers who head into the town of Blood Creek for one last summer party. They stumble upon the Dark Lady, a ghost, and things get scary from there. There are some effective scenes in the old abandoned house, and the set looks very scary. My favorite scene was the one with the goth-looking guy and the good-looking blonde girl who looks like Jessica Simpson, when they are in the barn and start seeing the ghost of the farmer every time they close their eyes. The editing of the film was also interesting, as it keeps cutting to give it a jumping feeling. Overall, I was happy with the movie for your typical low-budget scare!
