The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

The story is very weak. They tried to give the movie some background by throwing in Nazis and Hitler's ambition for immortality but to no avail. Take out the Nazi bit and its a horror cliché, with a sorcerer turning himself into monster to be immortal and has to consume blood to go on. Gee we haven't seen that one before!The zombies (vampires?) are not scary and the main guy is first a mummy then he becomes Hellraiser without the pins. The animal slaughter is not scary but simply repulsive.I've only given the movie 5 stars because Henry Cavill is super hot and gives us at least something to look at (yes I'm superficial so what?) and Michael Fassbender steals the movie in the short time he appears as human. Don't waste your time if you're not a Cavill fan like me.

I'm not sure what to make of this film. I'm a big Horror fan and have pretty much had my share of all types and sub-genres, and Blood Creek simply didn't feel like Horror to me.The story idea was very nice, but not too original (though nice tribute to the villain from Marvel's "Captain America" comics). The only things that could be considered scary were the slight gore scenes (no medical pornography, just lots of blood), the mystical ideas and the fact that it happened at night (unless you count relation top Nazism as horrifying in the literal since of the word).So while there was a nice story idea, the potential was really left unused. Blood Creak is nothing more than a Vampire/Zombie Hunter action film (like Blade or Van Helsing) with a touch (let's be generous and say 10%) of occult-horror. As an action film it's too slow and slightly too realistic, and as an occult-horror film it's not the least scary (as I find gore to be disgusting and sometimes revolting, but not frightening). So the film wasn't a success in any of its features. The almost pathetic attempt to raise its level by adding names like Dominic Purcell and Michael Fassbender to the cast didn't help much, and I'm sure neither of them would list Blood Creak as one of their better performances.All in all, I would take the basic story idea of Nazi related occult and make an entire new film. This one is barely worthy of the time it takes to watch. However, if you feel like a cheap Vampire Hunter film with a touch of gore and an unrelated story - this might do the trick for you. For me, as I said, it didn't.

This is a horror movie about a Nazi necromancer, that means he can raise dead things to do his bidding. The actor interpreting the Nazi is Michael Fassbender. The director is Joel Schumacher. Now, with a premise like that, I expected a great movie, especially since I've read a review describing it in very positive words. Instead, I get a slight twist of a typical zombie/monster movie. I was disappointed.What was amazing was how the movie started. Fassbender coming from Germany to the US, doing his nice guy voice (but with a German accent) explaining to a little girl how he can raise the dead, now that he had found a runic stone. Then a lot of detailed action and scenes explaining the story of the paramedic brother of a soldier lost in Iraq. Then suddenly the brother returns, all rags and long hair, asking for help to get guns and shoot people.Then the film turns into the typical "group trapped with a monster and they have to kill him before it kills them" thing. The dichotomy between to two parts of the movie was shocking, like someone did two different films and then spliced them together, and therefore I can't really recommend the movie, except as a well done monster flick. Go in with low expectations and you might enjoy it fully.

Who knew Joel Schumacher had a horror movie in him? Let alone a good one? Blood Creek takes the Nazi fascination with the occult and uses it as the springboard to an exciting, suspenseful scarefest. The absolutely brilliant cast--including Michael Fassbender, Dominic Purcell, and Henry Cavill--does a stalwart job all round, and where some other directors and their performers would have allowed a picture like Blood Creek to succumb to low camp, everyone involved with the film plays it razor straight. The atmosphere is dark and malevolent, and the limited setting--primarily an isolated farm somewhere in West Virginia--used to great effect. This is a gory film, and while some of the on screen mayhem should have probably been left to the imagination, the copious bloodletting is realistic and certainly holds viewer attention. The only reason this isn't a minor classic is because of the numerous plot holes--lots of things happen that even within the context of the very bizarre plot don't make a lot of sense, and other plot threads are left frustratingly unexplained. Otherwise, if you can take the graphic carnage in stride, this is a superior horror film that would see several of its stars go on to bigger and better things.
