This flick appears to have been filmed over a three-day weekend with the change in the seat cushions. The first 45 minutes serve no purpose. Some of the time wasted in town would have been better used hinting at the presence of the monster. The howls are overused and the tracks should have been brought in earlier. The scene in the tent manages to build some decent suspense, too bad it didn't happen half an hour earlier.

Willow Creek is certainly a "slow burn", but the writer/director is leaving clues throughout the film to make the ending much more satisfying in hindsight. One scene in particular had me on the edge of my seat for several minutes. Sure - this comes along fairly late in the film, but the build up remains enjoyable due to strong chemistry between the two lead actors. Nothing groundbreaking here, but certainly the best in the new rash of Big Foot found footage films. 100% Enjoyable.

It reminds me of the movie "Open Water" except instead of sharks the antagonists are sasquatches. All the "facts" are fairly accurate (if you're into Bigfoot lore). Also has some very eerie and suspenseful encounter scenes. Only gets three stars because I was disappointed with the ending where they finally and unfortunately only briefly show the creature. Over all, if you have ever daydrempt about bushwacking through the woods to find the elusive squatch I'd recommend this movie.
