Joel Schumacher has had a checkered career as a director. However Schumacher is able to make good films. But lately he has made crap. The Number 23 though an interesting concept failed on many levels. Let's not talk about Batman & Robin. But Schumacher is able to make some awful films, yet after he makes bad films,
he is able to redeem himself and make something watchable. I thought that Blood Creek would be a bad, independent film. I was wrong. The film though nothing great, is a good, entertaining film that will appeal to fans of who feel that the quality of good horror has dropped significantly in the last few years. Blood Creek is a low budget horror flick, but it's one that deserves more attention. Especially with the fact that studios are bent on remaking classic horror films. The film is good enough to appeal fans of horror and the acting isn't too bad. Blood Creek is a much better film than one might think. Considering it's Schumacher film, Blood Creek is a good attempt at a horror film, and as a diehard fan of horror films, Blood Creek is a film not to miss. Blood Creek is a film that will unfortunately find an audience by word of mouth and most likely be obscured by horror remakes. This is Joel Schumacher's best film along with Phone Booth and The Lost Boys. If you love horror, check this film out. Compared to the trash in the genre today, it's a far superior film.
