Candy and a Movie: Willow Creek (October Movie 5)

Willow Creek

A couple, Jim and Kelly, are making a document about looking for Bigfoot. Most of the first 10 minutes is spent listening to them just chat but it isn’t boring. They're actually a little funny. His mic looks like it's from the 70s, so big. They interview a few people and we get some background to the first so-called Bigfoot sighting. One of them sings an annoying Bigfoot song.

The first cool interview was about Bigfoot eating a park ranger’s dog. Got ripped in half. Poor dog. On their travels to where Bigfoot was "spotted", a hillbilly tells them to turn the f around in a terribly acted way. They get as far as they can into the woods and have to hike on foot the rest of the way. They find a bunch of possible Bigfoot poop along the way and make camp for the night. He jumps but naked into the creek. Dong sighting. When they get back to camp from the creek his sock is in a tree and them tent has been rummaged through/knocked down.

First night and she hears something. It's just a raccoon. Then he proposes to her and she says nope it's too soon. Awkward. They decide to move in first. I blame him. I guess they are still in the mood because it looks like they are on their way to the bone zone when a knocking sound from the woods interrupts them. Then a whooping. Then a pop and another. This scene is taking forever. Then some animal making a siren like sound. Now it sounds like a woman is crying. Finally there are footsteps right outside the tent. The chick is freaking out because there is definitely some kind animal out there and they have 0 weapons for protection.

Bang something hits the tent. Growling is next. The guy is reacting 0%. Maybe he wants to die after the proposal? Skip to a little while later in the night so I guess nothing happened.

Next morning they are leaving and he finds some bloody fur on a log, which is collected. Another siren growl in the morning followed by popping which is cool. Girl finally loses when they do the "that's the same tree we passed 3 hours ago" thing like in Blair witch. Siren growl is going on this whole time. It's starting to get dark when they find some big foot tracks in the dark. Then they hear a big animal and take off running.

Night 2. No tent up tonight because they’re on the move. They are very lost although don’t seem to be using a compass at all. They should at least have the compass app because it’s impossible to delete. Anyway, they hear animal noises, start panicking and are attacked. Jim gets devoured somewhere off screen and we see a larger sized lady in her underpants. The end. Sound a little weird? I agree, this ending required me having to look up what I missed. One of the interviews’s had a person talking about the “bride of Bigfoot”. Earlier there was a poster about a missing woman. The underpants lady was that woman and Kelly, who just turned down Jim for marriage, is going to be the new bride of Bigfoot. I dig it.

Rating: My intern and I watched this together and played a drinking game. The game was to take a drink each time someone said Bigfoot (or sasquatch). It was said 48 times and we went through a lot of whiskey. Did that make the movie better? Perhaps, but it still this was a good watch. The actors are amateurs and there is probably nothing that you really haven’t seen before. Just play the Bigfoot game.

Favorite Scene: Now that I know what went on, the ending.

Memorable Lines: Can’t think of any.

What I would’ve done as the main character: Be prepared. I’m pretty anti-gun but if I’m camping in a forest full of bears and Bigfoots, I’m going to have something to defend myself. Also a compass, to find my way out of course. Why do I even have to say this Jim?

What happens in the sequel: Kelly and Bigfoot move to Portland. Bigfoot shaves everything except for a curly mustache.
