The Creek (2009)

- written May 21, 2009

Summary: On the fifth anniversary of the death of their friend Billy, six friends are forced back together by his ghost. Billy's death was officially considered an accident but old suspicions and conflicts return. When people start dying they all must ask themselves if it's his ghost, one of them, or because they returned to The Creek?           Overall: What we have here is the usual story of friends dealing with the death of their friend from 5 years ago and the inevitable “who really done it?” as they look back. I read some other reviews and I can see if you’re not in the right mood, you might have a short fuse with this film. I can say once you’ve seen the whole thing, it’ll deserve a second viewing. I think the closure of the story with the connection of the events and characters makes it worthwhile. It takes a bit to finally wrap things up, but I liked what the director did with it. I say, take your time with the movie and enjoy it. Remember folks, it’s a low-budget film that sure looks and feels better than most out there. I think there could have been a bit more action and less talking…but the dialogue is worth it and again, once the reveal occurs, everything works itself out!           Comparison: I Know What You Did Last Summer meets St. Elmos Fire
