IT'S REALLY BIG AND HAIRY
nogodnomasters14 April 2019
Warning: Spoilers
It seems Black Water Creek had a Sasquatch and they captured it and sent it to a zoo in Zanesville, Ohio where everyone sends their Sasquatches, the national depository for Big Foots. It seems Big Foot has escaped and goes back to Black Water Creek to enact revenge by ripping off people's faces. There are a couple of detectives on the case with bad lines and some drug dealers making "Blue Gold" who plan to cash in for sixty million dollars.

Our beast looks like a bad guerrilla suit that separates a little in the back at the shoulder. The DVD claims "some legends are best left alone" advice the film makers should have followed.

Not worth a free watch.

Guide: F-bomb. No sex or nudity.

My Review Of "Black Water Creek: Legend Of Sasquatch"
ASouthernHorrorFan20 May 2015
This story sounds like a pretty cool one that should have been easy to tell with relative ease. Drug crime encroaching on nature sparks the rise of a supernatural like creature to fight back. ( Much like Godzilla). The only real problem with the story was the writing. Specifically the dialog. Most of which seemed unrealistic to the situation or characters. There was a lot of conjecture within conversational dialog between the characters, meant to justify the situations and relevance but mostly it just came off as out of place and full of holes. There really isn't much in this story that was believable or convincing. Also too many of the actors appear to be too amateurish or really disconnected from the story, acting is much more than hyperbolism.

The effects and soundtrack for "Black Water Creek: Legend Of Sasquatch" is pretty amateurish as well. Some of the effects work, mostly because the shadowing or quick glance at the blood or practical effects used didn't allow for the audience to notice just how cheap the tricks where in the scenes. Other times the gore or death scene were just to fake and poorly managed that it comes off offensive to the horror fan. This film could have been so much more, and the man-in-the-suit creature could have worked had the team behind this film really put more professionalism into the other aspects of the film. There is just too much that doesn't work in the film for it to really be anything other than a waste of 2,000 dollars. Viewer beware!

Furry Monster or Serial Killer ?
guestar5730 April 2014
Stars: Nelson Irizzary A Marshall Ever flick.

So,Chemical Burn presents a shocker that may be a monster movie about Big Foot or it could be a horror about one nasty serial killer.

Filmed in Maryland and it was very cold evidently during shoot.

Nelson plays a detective with a lot of baggage to dredge back up as he goes to solve a cold case,That becomes a 'cold -blooded ' case.

The monster ( furry one) is an okay costume with lots of menacing and action that goes beyond it's look.

The serial killer angle is so mean and cruel that he outdoes the 'Furry' monster to become a worse one.

Film has a lot to recommend it,Especially when producers seem to be a VODKA company,How awesome is it for an Indy Filmmaker to get that kind of support to film your visions.

Really?
thomasosborn-3934416 September 2016
How in the hell was this god awful film even produced? If I could I would give it a negative score. Whoever did the editing probably didn't have eyes or any sense of hearing or common decency. Acting is well beyond sub-par, I'd rather have taken a melonballer to my eyes and an ice-pick to my eardrum. Whoever wrote this deserves to be placed on the 'no fly' list and/or suicide watch. Overall this film deserves to be completely eradicated from human history, probably more so than the Holocaust. Honestly whoever wrote the script was probably either smoking something or constantly attempting to self lobotomize their self with a ball-peen hammer. To round out my review, don't pay to watch this, I'm glad that I didn't or else I would have had to take my own life out of shame.

Nice throwback to the creepy 70s
ekmyers29 July 2013
Remember the seventies, the "speculation" era? All those fantastic documentaries hosted by Peter Graves and Rod Serling and Leonard Nimoy about Nessie, Bigfoot and the like? That was some creepy, mid-day viewing on a Saturday afternoon.

BLACK WATER CREEK is, intentionally or no, a throwback to that era, evoking such retro- classics as SASQUATCH: THE LEGEND OF BIGFOOT and other crypto-horrors, while throwing in a nice dose of SILENCE OF THE LAMBS. You've got a series of Bigfoot-style murders and the two detectives investigating the seemingly improbable case in the deep woods of bumfuck Maryland, with the case forcing both to confront their own inner demons.

This flick is especially notable for being a true "auteur" project: the writer, director, producer, cinematographer, editor, composer, and craft services guy is all the same person. Marshall Ever's love for his project is clear on every frame, and the guy did a hell of a job with a zero- dollar budget, and plenty of Scotch tape and Popscicle sticks. You'd think there was funding, and you'd be surprised to hear that there wasn't.

Cinematography is excellent across the board. The pacing is strong, and the mood is atmospheric. Good acting (special props to Jonathon Ruckman), and a series of twists at the ending -- the final being completely unexpected. Way to catch this viewer off guard.

I saw a screener copy, and I sincerely hope that this film lands a distributor and has its chance to shine like a diamond within a sea of diarrhetic DTV horror. Support the little guy!

Bad, bad, bad
Leofwine_draca3 July 2017
Warning: Spoilers
BLACK WATER SASQUATCH is another indie horror flick shot in the woods, devoid of intent and purpose, trying very hard to frighten the average viewer but missing every given opportunity. The story is weak and predictable and the diluted scares of the hairy guy in the woods are so poor that a serial killer has to be added to the story for extra oomph. It's all shot in close up with a shaking camera and features murky, rubbish photography throughout.
