This movie is slow and meaningless! Don't waste your time! It leaves you very unsatisfied!

This movie sucks. I can't believe I wasted 20 minutes of my life on this.

I just didn't get it. Was not entertained. Thought it was a confusing, boring, boggling mess. This one should have stayed buried. 2/10

I've never seen more boring and rough movie. The cinematography and the acting are poor, the story is good, but full of lyrical deviations. The effects are lame and didn't create the fear and the atmosphere they're supposed to. The whole idea is not bad, but maybe the budget was low or idk.

This is not one of those cheesy horror films. This sucks you right in and keeps you on your toes wanting to know what's going to happen next.

Competently shot and well directed indie film. You can tell this was done from a seasoned filmmaker. Type of film that that makes you appreciate indie filmmakers.

A really good combo horror and thriller. Very involving. And for a low budget feature, so well made and acted. Really naturalistic. Just a very solid and enjoyable film from beginning to end!

Following the death of her sister, a young woman is soon driven to the breaking point by a series of ensuing travesties that are said to be a result of a family curse that everyone around her seems to suffer from, forcing her into a race to find out the cause before she is involved in its history.

This was a pretty enjoyable and creepy effort. Much like the short film it's based on, this one gets a lot of mileage out of its creepy first half that has a lot to like. The way it manages to get the relationship down with the sisters in the backstory flashbacks showing them together regardless of how tragic or important the event was creates a rather intriguing setup early on here. Giving enough of an impression as to why the death would've haunted her as much as it does as well as setting up the later involving her being driven over the edge of her mental state, this character-driven part of the film is quite impressive and eerie which makes for a fun time here. There are a few problems with the film. The most obvious issue is the dreary and lagging pace that keeps this one feeling incredibly boring for major sections of the running time. Focusing on her series of memories and personal reflections, not only from the death of the dad and the childhood memories as well as her studies in school or hanging out with her friend tend to hold the film down to a crawl as barely anything happens that can remotely be called a genre effort. It's trying without much going on as the lack of supernatural activity or scares causes the laid-back tone to stand out a bit more. The last issue for some in this one is more than likely the passive manner of the ghosts that pop up throughout here. Given that they're much of a presence only through her deteriorating mental state and serve as companions for her to drive that point home, their lack of menacing appearance or behavior might be seen as a hindrance in that they don't do anything. They never seem to get involved in any of the few horrific actions presented here and are not part of the actual horror elements that arise since it's all brought about by human forces, leaving them to be completely harmless as a result. These factors tend to drag this one down slightly.

Rated Unrated/R: Graphic Language and Violence.

No spoilers, but the movie keeps you hooked from the beginning and keeps that momentum the rest of the way through.

Some of the best horror films are family films -- no exception here! This setting and tone were killer... very David Lynch. Solid scares - great performances. Really sticks with you!

A young woman struggles to come to terms with her own past. But finds her sanity overwhelmed by the past of her family. Attempting to exorcise her own self-destructive feelings, she uncovers family secrets and tragedies which promise to offer explanation but turn instead into part of her inescapable and nightmarish reality

There are several ways to interpret the narrative of Occurrence at Mills Creek. The lead actress is terrific and there are some nice eerie moments. I don't want to spoil too much so please check it out and enjoy!!

An edge of your seat suspenseful horror/thriller that will keep you engaged throughout. I recommend.

This well written, well acted movie will keep you on the edge of your seat. I highly recommend this movie, very entertaining.

Good film. A nice blend of horror but with a great amount of suspense. Kept me guessing until the end. It is well scripted and acted. A nice tour of the human mind. It exceed my expectations and I recommend.

As a self proclaimed indie thriller/horror nerd I thoroughly enjoyed this film. It does a great job of keeping you on the edge of your seat and confused but at the same time engaged. It is a fine line to watch however Occurrence at Mills Creek does a phenomenal job! Would highly recommend this film.

This film puts you in a hypnotic trance with its slow pace and excellent sound design. The cursed legacy of a family in small town America lingers on. This ghost story suspense brings to the surface a new reality when death strikes this misfit family. Well Written / Directed and beautifully crafted. Definitely worth the price of admission.

Don Johnson's "Occurrence at Mill Creek" delivers some solid chills and moments of creeping dread, in a tale of family curses and haunted pasts. I enjoyed the more surreal moments - without revealing too much here - such as an unexpected moment of terror in a therapist's office, a dance with the dead in a moody bar (very "Twin Peaks"), and a blood-soaked finale where the protagonist Clara (Ava Psoras) comes to terms with a terrible family secret. I had some trouble fitting all the pieces together, but it was overall a unique and chill-inducing experience, with some genuine moments of terror. It's also worth mentioning here the title "Occurrence at Mill Creek" playing homage to the infamous "An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge", which if you've seen the former, you know...things aren't always as they seem.

Good indie film with an obviously experienced team behind it. I wish that storywise there was a bit more clarity, and I do wish it leaned into the supernatural a bit more but for the budget, I can understand the balance that was struck. I do also wish the curse was mentioned a bit more and a bit earlier, so that we could understand it's importance to the story, because it does amount to a great deal of stress the protagonist goes through.

With the budget of an indie film and the visual and pace of an artsy film, this drama/horror explores the darkness of a young woman who lost everyone in her family. The writer/director does a good job make you wondering what the hell is going on. If you like unpredictable and dark, this is a movie for you.

Trauma and grief are complicated and tumultuous feelings, enough to unravel the world around you and make you question reality. The director and writer use many interesting cinematic techniques to explore how these strong emotions can change the world and the mind of a person. The film delves deep into the psychology of the main character, and we see the erosion of reality through her eyes. If you like exploring the depths of the human mind, you will find some thought provoking moments to hold onto in this film.

I wasn't sure what to expect from the trailer but I knew I enjoyed the other short films by the same filmmaker so I was looking forward to it.

What I got from a full length film was a feature that was atmospheric, mysterious and intriguing with great performances and an interesting well thought out story. I also really liked the way the film was shot. Great job to everyone involved.

This is such a good film! I enjoyed it from beginning to end! A terrific horror/thriller film for sure!! Really good acting and storyline! I thought the director did a wonderful job with the pacing. I never mentally drifted off. I was engaged right out of the gate. Bravo all, so well done! A big thumbs up from me on this one!!
