Megamind To all those who have watched it: I hope you enjoyed it as much as I do.

Jonah Abbott There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

laylastepford Acting: 18/20 Writing: 33/40 Directing/Editing/Production/Etc: 38/40Overall: 89/100 B+Review: This is a "found footage" film done right. The actors who play the couple in this film have a great chemistry together, the writing takes an interesting angle on the Bigfoot story and the overall execution finds a great balance between suspense, action and getting into the characters and story.Being apprehensive about yet another Bigfoot story is understandable but this film does a great job at keeping the story interesting and it's more thought-provoking than it may seem on the surface. This movie was also surprisingly impressive when it came to adding a comedic element, which added to the story, as opposed to taking away from it.*Spoiler Alert!*The scene with the Bigfoot mural on the huge wall by the road is not only the funniest scene in this film but one of the funniest scenes in any film. The actor playing Jim did a phenomenal voice improving the Bigfoot accent and expressing the Bigfoot mindset. This scene alone makes the film worth watching.Since the Big Foot Books owner genuinely cares about all of the Bigfoot stuff, his part in the film was very interesting and gave us some real background information about the original Patterson-Gimlin film, which was a really nice touch to the documentary-feel of the film.There are quite a few scenes peppered throughout the film that add a good sense of mystery to the film: should they be more worried about Bigfoot, nature in general or the locals?Neither of the two are very familiar with the woods/nature/uncivilized territory. There are many clues given throughout the film that they are not prepared for the dangers ahead of them whether they encounter a Bigfoot or not. Later, when the couple does start to encounter potential danger, they lean on their video recorder (technology - a societal luxury) for comfort, even though it was superficial as it didn't actually do anything to protect them - showing how much they had become out of tune with nature.The tent-scenes were perfectly suspenseful as they really put you in the moment and what it would feel like to be there; Very organic. (Especially the footsteps - so creepy!) That being said, there was another story going on here, which was brilliantly executed (as many horror films tend to do): Now that we are 50+ years after Feminism started it's plan to make women more "the same" as men and vice-versa, modern women are more vulgar and less nurturing than their recent ancestors and modern men are more acquiescent and less supportive than their recent ancestors. This film does a great job showing why those roles might work fine in cities etc. but not so much out in nature. Problems that are 'manageable' in the context of society become great endeavors in the context of nature.The starring couple had communication problems foreshadowed from the get-go. Kelly is often demeaning and cold towards Jim while Jim has a hard time taking Kelly seriously - especially about her feelings and warnings. As they are trying to make their way out of the woods, their relationship issues - communication, trust, etc. - are exacerbated, and their gender roles prevail in nature. Even though their gender reversal works fine in artificial society, it doesn't transfer in nature; In nature, it hurts them.As products of the modern world, the couple is defenseless against whatever nature has in store for them - whether it was a bear, mountain lion or Bigfoot. While Kelly is more than happy to "get out of dodge", Jim is clearly not happy that they discovered something yet aren't able to get definitive proof of what it was. She really doesn't care about finding any evidence of Bigfoot (which is supposed to be 1 of 2 main reasons they're out there).While hearing the "vocalizations", Kelly wants to turn the light off so maybe "whatever it is will go away" yet Jim doesn't want it to go away. This is indicative of how Kelly never took Jim's Bigfoot endeavors seriously and made the decision to go scouting Bigfoot with him despite not really wanting to find Bigfoot; Just like she entered a relationship with Jim but doesn't really take him seriously as she doesn't really want to marry him.The last time the "whimpering/crying" is heard, we discover that it is the "Missing" woman from the poster, presumably kidnapped by Bigfoot and held as a sex slave since she is naked. Further proving this: when Jim is attacked and taken by Bigfoot, his clothes are immediately torn off and his throat seems to be attacked as he is choking so he cannot call for help. Then we hear Kelly screaming as she is presumably "attacked" and taken. However, we hear her scream "Help me! Help me!", showing her throat wasn't attacked, and then we hear multiple Bigfoot howling - presumably at the joy of their newest replacement for a sex slave. Instead of the falsely labeled "oppressive" gender roles in society, she is now 'sentenced' to a life of actual oppressive gender roles in nature.Sex differences in personality traits are larger in prosperous, healthy, and egalitarian cultures in which women have more opportunities equal with those of men. Nature does not afford women equal opportunities with those of men. (Which is why women should be more grateful for men and the society they created.)*End of Spoiler Alert!*Overall this film was a suspenseful, clever and well-executed Bigfoot story, providing impressive social commentary on the freedom of gender roles in society, as opposed to in nature.

Chason_S Wow! The last 15 minutes of this are truly horrifying.It's difficult to breath while watching it. And those last few minutes?? ... Well you are going to be haunted by those for quite some time. Don't miss this. And don't let anyone tell you a WORD about it before you watch.

Leofwine_draca WILLOW CREEK is yet another example of a found footage horror film, one that almost exactly copies the plot and style of THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT. It was written and directed by Bobcat Goldthwait, the actor best known for his roles in the POLICE ACADEMY series, if you can believe that. Unfortunately the film suffers from a slow pace and an almost entire lack of incident, so that it feels stretched and lifeless for most of the time.The early scene-setting clips aren't bad, even if the main couple who act as the film's protagonists are quite boring and devoid of life. The dialogue all too often descends into meaningless profanity instead of being witty or realistic. The acting is merely okay. The set-up promises plenty, but once the action shifts into the woods very little actually happens aside from the usual weird howling and discovered tracks. The 21-minute single-take tent scene smacks of padding and feels extremely tiresome, and the ending is as predictable as they come.

gemandeye1 I enjoyed this one. I either like found footage or find myself shutting them off before I get a migraine. This was done very well. If this was done years ago I would have given it more stars. But it's not all that original. Not only is there a slew of Big foot movies out there but most of them are found footage one's. Goldwaith, known for his off beat antics in movies and standup, does a great job directing a serious horror-thriller. Have to give him kudos for stepping outside his comfort zone. He has talent beyond what we knew. If you're going to pick a Big foot movie pick this one.
