Bobcat Goldthwait may be best known to many as a comedian and as Zed in the Police Academy movies, but he’s also got himself a cult following as the director of film like Sleeping Dogs and God Bless America. Now he’s back with a micro-budget found footage horror, Willow Creek.
Here’s the synopsis: ‘Jim and his girlfriend Kelly are in Willow Creek, California, to retrace the steps of Bigfoot researchers Patterson and Gimlin, who, in 1967, recorded the most famous film of the legendary monster. Kelly is a skeptic, along for the ride to spend time with her boyfriend between acting gigs. Jim, a believer, hopes to capture footage of his own, so his camera is constantly rolling.’
The movie apparently has more humour than the trailer suggests. No release date is currently set, but the film is playing at film festivals.
