Kick Ass Poster Released For “Willow Creek”



Willow-Creek - CopyCheck out the kick ass poster released for the new Bobcat Goldthwait creature feature “Willow Creek”. The film is yet another movie that embraces the Bigfoot lore and is set to be a found footage style film about the the cryptid. In Goldthwait’s on words about the overrun subgenre “Perhaps there’s been too many of those recently, but this one isn’t a schlocky horror picture. Goldthwait has apparently mixed satire with some suspense and, overall, his film is apparently rather driven by “exploring the idea of bearing witness.”  The verdict about whether or not this film manages to surpass the “schlocky-ness” should come soon enough as the film is slated to premiere at Boston’s Independent Film Festival April 24rd-30th. Whatever that verdict, one this is for sure, this poster is fucking killer!

Jim and his girlfriend Kelly are in Willow Creek, California, to retrace the steps of Bigfoot researchers Patterson and Gimlin, who, in 1967, recorded the most famous film of the legendary monster. Kelly is a skeptic, along for the ride to spend time with her boyfriend between acting gigs. Jim, a believer, hopes to capture footage of his own, so his camera is constantly rolling.

The small town is a mecca to the Bigfoot community; Sasquatch statues guard the local businesses, murals of the missing link line the roads, and Bigfoot burgers are the town delicacy. The couple interview locals who range from skeptic to believer and from manic to completely menacing. Some of the stories they hear are of chance encounters with a gentle creature, while others are tales of mysterious eviscerations.

On the day that Jim and Kelly plan on hiking into the woods to look for proof, they are given a simple warning: “It’s not a joke. You shouldn’t go there.” Despite the ominous message and Kelly’s own reservations, they head deep into the forest to set up camp. The events that follow will make them wish they had simply spent the night at the Bigfoot Motel.
