Victor wasn’t joking because he is one angry dude. Apparently he’s been a tortured hostage for the last two years to that German family we’ve met earlier. Yes, they should be long dead by now, but they all look the same except that little Leise (Emma Booth) is no longer a little girl but an eighty year old seventeen year old. Regardless of what they might’ve done to Victor they are begging him, imploring him to leave because they did what they did to him out of necessity. So they say. Unfortunately Victor is so dead set on revenge against these people he does no such thing, and in the process he sets him free. Him being Dr. Wirth no longer looking all handsome and stuff like Michael Fassbender. No sir, Wirth is a real live, walking, talking, dead creature reanimating monster. In a sharp floor length leather coat. Nazi’s sucked ass, we all know this, but their outerwear? Best ever.

Wirth is pissed. I mean this is one angry dude and he’s going to make everybody pay. Once he gets the Third Eye. It’s complicated. It’s so complicated I don’t have a clue about what it meant. Nonetheless, NOW Victor sees the error of his ways and it’s up to he and Evan to somehow stop this crazy powerful, blood feeding, dead people reanimating supernatural beast before it gets free and rains hell on the planet earth, like the original plan called for.

I realize that Joel Schumacher isn’t the most popular film director around, in fact I have a friend who I believe wishes him dead. He’s a Batman guy. ‘Batman & Robin’. I didn’t like that movie either but I don’t wish anybody any ill will, nipples on the batsuit or not. That being said, ‘Blood Creek’ is actually pretty good, pretty brutal horror. It’s also total nonsense and borderline incomprehensible, but as far as pacing, imagery and shock value are concerned I liked what I got with this one.

From the time Victor shakes Evan out of bed, ‘Blood Creek’ is a blur of bloody mayhem, all set off by one of the more reprehensible movie villains in recent horror memory. Dr. Worth is ugly, he’s demonic, he can sprint like Carl Lewis, he’s super strong and super smart, he drinks blood like its Mike’s Hard Lemonade, he wears nice clothes, and he can create creatures that are almost as bad as he is just by uttering a few words. The only thing he can’t do is walk through a door with red paint on it. Again, it’s complicated.

Thus we have the issue with ‘Blood Creek’ in that the filmmakers pretty much expect you to just ‘accept it’. Almost none of the nonsense that’s going on this movie is adequately explained. Without getting too much into the total nonsense that is ‘Blood Creek’, like why nobody aged and so much more, I just don’t understand why they kept feeding Dr. Wirth his bloody feasts. I mean the family hated him, and I imagine if they stopped feeding him blood he’d eventually die, but then they would die too I guess. But considering they’ve spent the last seventy plus years on a farm win WVA without the ability to go anywhere, death seems like a welcome option to me at that point. That’s just one little thing of the litany of unexplained, ignored phenomena that was going on in this movie. I guess one of the reasons this movie was so long delayed in getting released was that screenwriter David Kajganic was highly upset with what Schumacher and co. did to his once lucid screenplay, but considering most movies make very little sense nowadays, and I bet almost all screenplays at one point covered all the dots until they went into production, this seems to just be the way the business operates.

On visceral level however, ‘Blood Creek’ is a rapidly moving success. That’s a complete narrative boondoggle. Give and take my friends, give and take.
