Blood Creek 2009

Blood Creek 2009

Greetings zombiephiles!. today's movie is called Blood Creek. This earned 5.5 on IMDB and 3.5 stars on Netflix. But how does this fare against a lover of true zombie flicks.This was directed by Joel Schumacher so it has potential.  See thats one problem I have against other rating systems. They may be rating and looking at two or more movies from different genres. I however rate and review pure zombie flicks. so its comparing apples to apples not apples to oranges. You can view the trailer for Blood Creek HERE. We can blame once again Lionsgate films if this is a stinker.


The movie starts out with a monologue explaining the fact that Nazi germany once believed that the occult was one way in which to achieve world domination. So they set out looking for rune stones. 




Moving on from this monologue we see a family who is of short means on their farm . They receive a letter from what is possibly the third reich asking them to host a scientist while he is in the US doing research.  it should be noted that one factor they are considering is a monthly stipend of 150 dollars. This is important as the movie is placed in 1939. Therefore this sum of money is not small. 


once Mr. Wirth (prnounced Virth) arrives he makes mention of a stone that was uncovered during the building of the house. This takes the other men of the house aback as Mr. Wirth is supposedly a historian. 
The stone is massive and carried the nazi swastika. We are witnessed to the power of the massive stone as it brings the bird back to life. 


Jump to modern day. Chaos rules the screen as this woman has obviously shot her bf/husband and has the gun pointed at her own head. The scene ends with the trailer exploding from the meth fumes. one of the emts on scene appears to be a main character and has to take care of a mean old man who appears to be on his last legs. In other words he has one foot in the grave. As mean as this bastard is you can see that the younger man will be happy when he goes. 


In a twist to the movie the EMTS brother Victor, makes it home from Iraq but mysteriously disappears. From the pictures in the newspaper clippings and military shots it is none other than the joker who plays in prison break. You know, Dominic Purcell the older brother who is on death row. Not the one with all the cool tattoos. 


In the middle of the night victor shows up and tells him to grab two guns, a boat and plenty of ammo. from the scarring and marks on his body it is clear he has been held captive for 3 years now. Before seting off he tells his brother it is all in or nothing and he is free to leave if he so choooses. Henry portrayed by 

Henry Cavill

chooses all in. And they set off. 

They make it to the old farm house and it appears they are there to kill everyone. They split up one takes the front the other the back. As we get a chance to see the family it appears as if none of the members have aged. such as the little girl. But all others stayed the same. it is obvious that vic is looking for someone. Or something. there is a black container that appears the center of it all. all around is strange paintings marking up the house and surrounding property. if all sounds confusing it is because it is. 

After setting up an ambush on the rest of the family, the person he is looking for has been released and all hell breaks loose.It appears Wirth was there in reality to perform black magic and blood rituals. He is a necromancer. (someone who controls the dead) To find out how this movie ends, I suggest you watch it. 

The acting isn't bad, its better quality acting than most zombie movies. This one is labeled zombie flick yet it only possesses one person who could be characterized as a zombie. Disappointment abounds as we would expect more zombies in a zombie movie. 

So the question arises if he can make it to where the family doesnt age, why cant he do the same for himself. watch and youll understand.

I would give this two and half severed thumbs. 

And remember I watch this shit so you dont have to!
