Blood Creek (2009)
By: Joel Schumacher (director), David Kajganich (writer)
Starring: Henry Cavill, Dominic Purcell, Emma Booth, Michael Fassbender
A man and his brother on a mission of revenge become trapped in a harrowing occult experiment dating back to the Third Reich.
As a public service, I’m considering handing out little laminated cards to every horror director in America with the K.I.S.S. principle on it, since so many of them continue to forget it. I wish I could figure out what Joel Schumacher’s deal is, because his work is all over the map. I honestly do not understand how the same person who directed Flawless also directed Batman & Robin, aka Worst Film Ever Made. Needless to say, Blood Creek is closer to the latter, a convoluted mess of a horror film that manages to be both excessively disgusting and not remotely scary. Not even Henry Cavill’s bare abs could redeem this one.
