Lost Creek

Some decent scary sequences. The slow and purposeful hypnotic pace makes the scares that much more of a punch. Would recommend for 12 and under.

Hoping the director gets a better budget and actors next time. Could be a scary classic ifso.

The worst thing that lost creek surfers from is plot holes. Set around halloween peter and his mum have just moved to a new place, im assuming the husband had an affair. Theres a boy called bill who is really trashy to him but somehow they are still friends. Anyway peter meets this young girl named maggie and the three have to fight something from their nightmares that makes no sense. The diologue is awful and feels more ad libed with to many repeats of the same words. Peter and bills actors tried well but the acting did not feels good. Maggie was the best in this and I feel sorry for her. Bill talks about the last time he was round his house which would not be true since he only just moved there. Some people disappear but its never explained why. The design of the creature was creepy so theres that.

I've seen plenty of low budget movies with pretty good actors but watching this was like nails on a chalkboard. I could barely follow the plot because of it. they have gone to the local community theater and find better actors.

Lost Creek, although it started off well enough, gradually gets the viewer lost and dragged down into a mire of mixed attempts to create a sort of psychological and philosophical pretense of preadolescent angst. Not really a horror film at all although there are a couple of good attempts at it. Plot seems to get lost meandering like the creek itself.

Three young kids, starts to having nightmares and connect it with a monster in they're dream. Lost Creek might not be everybody cup of tea, but it's very well made, and the young actors do very well, in this beginning of they're acting.
