After a string of pitch-black comedies, most recently World’s Greatest Dad and God Bless America, writer-director Bobcat Goldthwait is jumping into found-footage thriller/horror for his next film. Willow Creek tracks a couple played by Alexie Gilmore and Bryce Johnson (who both appeared in the director’s last film) that encounter Bigfoot itself.
We recently saw the film and said, “it’s clear that Bobcat has a fondness for those serious but schlocky Bigfoot movies from the 1960’s and 70’s–the most prominent being The Legend of Boggy Creek–and he stages Willow Creek as a kind of cheeky salute to their no-frills scare tactics. The the two halves of the movie work well individually, but they don’t actually congeal into a whole and we are left with two pleasant but disconnected impressions.” Check out the first trailer below thanks to Badass Digest.
