Blood Creek (2009)

Tied for the best movie I have ever seen

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

A man and his brother on a mission of revenge become trapped in a harrowing occult experiment dating back to the Third Reich. I remember enjoy this flick back in the day but my god after seeing it? again? I couldn't tell if this was a horror film or sci-fi or whatever the heck this was. Henry Cavill, Michael Fassbender and Dominic Purcell are all pretty much wasted in this abomination and guess who directed this film? Joel Freaking Schumacher. I mean i have enjoyed some of the man's films but jeez he should never direct another horror film ever. (3/10)

After finding his long-lost brother who was held captive by a maniacal Nazi officer on a remote ranch, they learn of his true purpose in trying to gain the secret of immortality and race to stop him before he can accomplish this involving the ranch-hands trapped with him.This one was a really entertaining effort, though still somewhat flawed effort. One of the biggest parts to this one is the fact that there's quite a lot of solid action scenes within this one that generates quite a frantic pace that keeps things going along. Their first raid on the house, appearing from the river into a surprise ambush with a fine firefight with the family and manage to overrun the farm which gives them the upper hand during the battle and serves as a strong launching pad for the rest of the film. Featuring a great story that introduces a nice mixture of occult, black magic and the supernatural, and a rather insane streak that constantly keeps things off-guard by generating a lot of great action scenes mainly in the barn which features a lot of really innovative moments from the numerous scenes of the reanimated animals going berserk and attacking everyone in the kitchen, this is rather enjoyable overall. Introducing the later fun of the reanimated family members and letting them get bundled together with the continuous mentions of his occult studies and need for the black magic within here, there's some rather nice scenes to be had here which really plays a strong part getting a strong sense of action for this one. Likewise, the finale really sets that in motion with a rather enjoyable concept for finally finishing him off and yet also allowing for plenty of generally enjoyable action scenes with some nice chasing and some fruition of the black magic which makes for a really enjoyable time. Throw in some gore and it's even better, as this one is pretty bloody at times since the reanimation factor gives this one a chance to allow for multiple reasons to kill off the same figure and really scores nicely in aiding the fun to be had from this one. These issues here make this quite enjoyable though not without some flaws, which is mainly in that the main villain doesn't really do a lot to inspire fear beyond ripping off his face numerous times. This is entirely problematic as there's something wrong with a film that doesn't have an oppressive main villain like this one as that seems to be his main trick here, his lack of logic doesn't stay consistent from scene-to-scene and a few unexplored areas are left unanswered as for why he managed to accomplished his tasks completely unnoticed all these years or the fact that nobody went searching for his prisoners which really leaves a lot of that part of the film to seem like a rushed, completely inconsequential series of explanations that make no sense. Still, this one was a lot of fun.Rated R: Graphic Violence, Graphic Language, Brief Nudity and strong violence-against-animals.

How odd that this film got mediocre critical reviews and has such a low rating on IMDb.It has some flaws, most notably an overly-talky script and a generally over-lit look to all of the night scenes, and early scenes don't make a lot of sense (seriously, why would he tell his brother NOTHING?).Flaws aside, though, it has a bunch of cool original ideas, some startlingly creepy scenes, and quite a few visuals unlike anything we've seen before. It also has the benefit of an excellent cast, most notably Fassbender in a far more lowbrow role than I would ever have expected him to agree to. (Come on, who would have thought he'd say yes to being a blood-drinking Nazi zombie?) It's hardly a timeless masterpiece, but it's entertaining and really quite nasty in parts, and is packed with startlingly original visuals. I really enjoyed it.

I do love a good horror film, which is a shame, seeing as there's so few about. Nowadays, I judge a film with how long it can hold my attention before I start logging onto the net and only half-watching.Blood Creek actually held my attention until the end. Not that I'm saying it's a masterpiece, but it seemed to at least hold a shred of originally in its matrix.There is some bad though - lack of character development, rushed beginning (normally you have to wait ages to get into the story, but it seemed that the viewer got thrown in there pretty quick) and jerky/dark fight scenes where you can't tell who's who.However, I felt it was slightly original and you didn't quite know where it was going. It's about a man who's haunted by the loss of his brother (who disappeared during a fishing trip). The brother returns late one night and they embark on a quest for revenge that takes them up against those most dastardly of villains - Nazis (and supernatural ones at that - and, let me tell you, they're the worst kind!).The gore was good (you may have to squint a bit to ignore the slightly bad 'horse on fire' scene), but, apart from that, it has enough twists and turns to hopefully keep you interested to the end.
