Blood Creek - DVD

A creepy premise and wonderful performances make this an unexpectedly good movie. There are blood and guts, but the movie keeps from devolving into gore for gore's sake.Dominic Purcell and Henry Cavill have decent chemistry as estranged brothers. Cavill is surprisingly convincing as the long-suffering brother who picked up the slack when his older brother left. Purcell does an equally good job as the older brother who has been fighting metaphorical demons long before we meet him. They are believable people reacting naturally to an unbelievable situation involving the supernatural.The farming family is the only exception to a story otherwise full of compelling characters. The father and his oldest son, for example, are practically set dressing. The mother is a caricature with few lines and less personality. Only the daughter has any depth to her. As for their home - an old farm that happens to be on old Viking land - I can think of few creepier places than a large farm seemingly in the middle of nowhere. Throw in a Nazi archaeologist with a fetish for old Viking runes, and we have the makings for the kind of good, old-fashioned scary story one would tell around a campfire.Michael Fassbender makes a convincingly creepy yet charming archaeologist who also happens to be a Nazi. One gets the sense that while he's probably had a bit too much of Himmler's Kool-Aid, he would have worked for anyone hiring German archaeologists in the '30s - not just the Nazis. In other words, he's a baddie because he's lost perspective and is obsessed with what he is studying - not *only* because he works for the Nazis. It is widely known that many of the high-ranking Nazis were also obsessed with the occult and with attaining ancient pagan power, which lends a natural plausibility to the antagonist's introduction and place in this story.I cannot really think of much else to say about this movie without giving the story away. While I would have liked to see more full-bodied characters in the farming family, I still thoroughly enjoyed watching the movie. I ended up buying it and watching it again a couple of weeks later. I caught hints and foreshadowing during the second viewing that I missed the first time around. Overall, I'd say go for it - watch this one. You may not agree with all of this review, but you probably won't feel as disgusted as I did after watching Hellblazer: Hellworld. ;-)

I watched this movie some time ago on TV and found it to be really creepy. That's a plus for me. I've been looking for it on blu-ray but have unable to find any but UK version. It also has the plus of a young Henry Cavill and Domenic Purcell.I am glad that I finally purchased it as it makes a very nice addition to Halloween movies to watch.

I passed on this film for quite awhile simply because the cover looked like another typical sadist movie. No star was mentioned on the cover.When I saw the cast I decided to give it a try and was pleasantly surprised. It was very intense thrilling horror film starring Dominic Purcell (Prison Break) and Henry Cavill (Superman in Man Of Steel) pitted against Michael Fassbinder (Magneto in two of the X-Men movies) as the villain. An edge of the seater. You have to pay attention to follow the twisted plot, but it is well worth your time. It could have used a better title and box instead of appearing like some cheesy B flick, but turned out to be pretty entertaining. A war veteran brother who has been missing here in the states for two years suddenly appears to his EMT brother seeking guns and his help to gain revenge on those that had been holding him prisoner. The brother rushes to his side and the two set out against what turns out to be a evil Nazi entity from pre World War II. A fast paced, action packed horror film.

Honestly wasn't a bad film. The concept was interesting and for the most part, it was presented nicely. Some of the CGI was iffy (but its 2008). The makeup is extremely impressive and the cast was fantastic. The acting was stale at points and the plot around the monster left a few small holes. Overall it's worth renting for a gorey movie night but I don't see it being a movie I would watch again.

This was a regular horror movie with a faster pace. Story line was pretty basic and watching it was casual in that there was no small scene that could not be missed. So I didn't have to rewind once to say WTH was that?

still pretty good though, first few minutes it has a cool Nazi zombie kinda look to it but then it jumps to present times and is just another horror/suspense movie like hundreds here on Amazon. will be forgotten by the end of the day. it is watchable, but paying for it over all other offerings will be a decision only you can make.

I checked the reviews for this movie and they were all over the place. It seemed the majority of ppl who didn't like it weren't big horror fans, anyway. And I love a good scary movie, so I wanted to give it a try.... And so I bought it and watched it with my mother, who also loves a good scare. Well, she fell asleep from boredom w/in the first 45 min, but I held out to the end. Now, it wasn't bad, but it really wasn't very good either. I don't wanna give anything away, so I'll just say that if it comes on tv or is available on Netflix, etc, watch it. But it's really not worth a purchase or going out of your way to see!!!!

What I thought would be a standard horror movie is so much more. It will be hard to review without giving things away so I will try. What a surprise cast in this movie from 2009. Henry Cavill (Superman) is great as the younger paramedic brother, Dominic Purcell (Dracula from Blade 3) as the just returned after 2 years missing from a hunting excursion, Michael Fassbender (Counsellor, Magneto) as the bad guy Nazi/scientist/occultist. I entirely loved it, there were enough differences to make it a standout in the horror genre. A little slow to start but hang in and enjoy, I did.

I was very impressed with the seller. Item arrived very fast, in good condition and the film, which isn't widely known, is great!

Even with the exemplary acting skills of Fassbender, this is one peculiar movie. Some gaping plot holes let the whole thing down. I honestly think there was a much better movie in here somewhere. Not terrible. But nowhere near as good as it had potential to be.

what a letdown plenty of action awful script

A watchable horror. A predicable storyline but has some good moments.

Fast delivery and works fine. Thankyou
