Found footage films have a specific spine-chilling element that most traditional horror movies can't replicate, and Willow Creek is no different. Filmed in found-footage style, Willow Creek follows hikers Jim and Kelly as they travel to Willow Creek, California. Their reason? To find Bigfoot and capture evidence of its existence. The location of Willow Creek is significant, as it is the famous location where the Patterson-Gimlin film was recorded, aka the first footage of an unidentifiable creature the filmmakers claimed was Bigfoot. Though Willow Creek takes a while to develop, the creepy elements of being in the wilderness searching for a scary creature makes you want to hide under a blanket.
