Mike y Heather son un par de hermanos que tratando de sobreponerse de la muerte de su padre, deciden esparcir sus cenizas en el bosque donde la familia solía vacacionar, esto hace que varios amigos de Mike decidan acompañarlo, no tanto como para darle soporte emocional, sino para aprovechar el fin de semana y hacer una fiesta en la remota cabaña en el bosque. Lo que este grupo de estudiantes no sabe, es que en ese mismo bosque recientemente han estado sucediendo una serie de violentos asesinatos, parecidos a los de un caso muy famoso que quedó inconcluso años atrás.

Las autoridades, buscando no causar el pánico, deciden hacer la investigación de forma oculta al publico, pero personas cercanas al padre de Mike, están mas que convencidas que tanto estos recientes asesinatos, como la muerte de su amigo, no son coincidencias, ni tampoco obra de un simple mortal, sino de una fuerza maligna sobrenatural que ha venido a cobrar venganza y sembrar el terror en el bosque. Una entidad que no solo pondrá la vida de los estudiantes en peligro, sino que hará que antes de que acabe el fin de semana terminen peleando a muerte entre ellos.

«Black Creek» es un filme donde se ve que se hizo lo mas que se pudo con los recursos que se tenían, y te deja con ganas de saber como se hubiera visto si hubiera tenido mas presupuesto. Dejando de lado que algunas actuaciones no fueron muy buenas y que los efectos especiales a veces se ven muy mal, hay una muy buena historia, contada de una forma ágil y un concepto muy interesante que puede dar para mas películas. Aclaro que también hay varios efectos especiales del corte practico que funcionan muy bien.

Mike and Heather are a couple of brothers trying to cope with their father’s recent death, and plan to spread his ashes on the forest where their family used to vacation. Several of Mike’s friends decide to tag along, not so much as to offer Mike some emotional support, but to seize the moment and to have a party all weekend on a secluded cabin in the woods. What the young students are unaware of, is that in that same forest recently have been occurring several murders eerily similar to others that happened several years ago and that were never solved.

The authorities, trying to not spread the panic in the community, decide to keep the murders and the investigation secret to the public, but a couple of persons that were close to Mike’s father are convinced that both his death and the recent murders are not a coincidence, or the work of a mortal being, but a evil supernatural force that has come back to claims its vengeance and fill the woods with terror. An entity that will not only put the lives of the students in danger, but also make them fight one another to the death before the weekend is over.

«Black Creek» is one of those films where you can see that the people behind it pushed themselves to the limits with whatever resources they had, and makes you wonder how would the film look if they had a bigger budget. Leaving aside that some of the acting is not very good and that some special effects fall into the weaker side, there is a very good story told in a very efficient manner, and an interesting concept that could work for more movies. I will point out that there were also several very effective special effects, although there were more of the practical kind.
