Rock Bottom Creek

Now I am not rating this a 10 because this is next Titanic or Avatar, or has some big name star that delivered an award winning performance. This movie gets a 10 because of the heart and determination as well as the acting and the writing put forth by a small group of people out of Florida. This movie captures the Do It Yourself spirit perfectly and the filmmakers are extremely grateful as they even responded to me when I emailed them earlier this month about there release.

With a simple plot you follow a couple on a road trip that leads them to a small town called Rock Bottom Creek. At this point we meet Sheriff Ringo and his group of deputies that rival the Keystone Cops if the cops were wearing flannels and rocking mustaches. These guys bumble around town while a psychopath lurks in the shadows and stalks his next victims.

This movie kept me laugh with wisecracking comments and dialog while keeping me glued to my seat waiting to see who was going to fall victim to the masked man with an assortment was weapons. The movie was relentless with the action and kept me in my seat despite needed to pee. However after watching the movie I was a little nervous about using the restroom because of the toilet scene in the film.

The actors and actresses were extremely approachable in the lobby after the film and even shared how they pulled off certain scene without the use of CGI. I look forward to seeing what this group does as a follow up to their first film. Good luck to all of you. I was impressed with your efforts. - Sgt. Roy Miller

After hearing about this movie from a Rock Bottom Creek flyer I decided to give this one a chance and drove 45 minutes to make it to one of their screenings. That said I was very impressed. For an indie horror flick the story was actually good, the acting was convincing, and the action never stopped! The directors did a freaking amazing job with what they had and with a bigger budget they could easily turned this into a movie worthy of Hollywood.

The sheriff is probably the most memorable character. This guy was so believable as a power drunk a-hole I legitimately hated him in a way that made me forget that this was just a movie. I saw him in the lobby after the screening and he was actually a nice guy.

As a b-movie this crew was innovative and did not really rely on the regular staples of a b movie like sex or wanton gore but the death scenes were intense and there were moments I laughed out loud and others were I was either held in suspense or left feeling uncomfortable. There was a kill scene that made my jaw drop and one scene in particular that made me want to hurl because it was gross. I have seen a swirly but never like this! Overall I would definitely give this movie a thumbs up. The only negative comments would be that there was a scene were the screen was dark for too long and you could only hear someone getting killed and the music was really loud at times.

Rock Bottom Creek was pretty impressive for a local horror film. I got a flier for the movie from a Halloween Express and decided to give it a go after the clerk told me that this movie was made by people in the area. Now let me explain why I rated this movie somewhere around a 7. I noticed that there were a few votes that gave this movie a 1 this is way too low of a score and suggests that the voter probably didn't see this movie at all and there were some 10's which may be a little too generous for this type of movie. This movie hits the mark as being an interesting horror flicks with bits of dark humor, intense action, and creativity and for that this movie is worthy of a decent score. My only complaints about this film is that it was really loud at times and there was an obvious product placement for a comic book store in the movie which made me think of Wayne's World.

The movie follows a couple as they embark on a weekend road trip. The girlfriend of this group was one of the better actors in the movie but the boyfriend is not without his charm as well. His interaction with the people in Rock Bottom Creek keep you interested in what is going to happen next. At this point the movie begins to feel like Halloween and Grindhouse, remixed with Troma films.

The plot was easy to follow and satisfied a horror fans blood lust without going overboard like most low budget films attempt to do. In fact the most horrific scene does not even involve anyone getting killed but it does involve a disgusting toilet bowl and a face.

Rock Bottom Creek has potential and could pick up a strong cult following. The screening I went to was packed and two guys came out to introduce the movie and then the actors were in the lobby afterward talking to the audience. I love the fact that these guys are from my town and shot a part of the movie here at the mall too!

I have always been a fan of horror films that have the capability to keep you tense while still having the ability to have comedic relief so that you don't feel stressed for an entire hour and a half. Rock Bottom Creek does this very well. Your classic tale of "couple on vacation takes wrong turn" is in full effect here with an eclectic cast of characters ranging from the desperate and clueless boyfriend lead, to the aggressive backwoods cop gone bad.

Mick Sawyer's role as Sheriff Ringo is the easy stand out performance of this movie. Right off the bat you know exactly what kind of character your getting as he sets the pace early by belittling and threatening his own officer with snappy and memorable lines.

With only a few missteps in audio, a few scenes a bit too dark, and a few toss away transition scenes, this was a really fun and entertaining film. If you're a fan of the old school style of campy horror, then this is right up your alley.

This movie was off the chain! I ain't ever seen a underground horror movie in the theater but man this one was tight. These cats put a lot of hustle into their product.

I ain't ever seen anything like this move before. I was laughing, jumping out of my seat, and wanting to punch that sheriff right in his mouth. Some scenes look like they really killed people. This movie was like a redneck Scream.

I hope they make a part 2. My favorite part was with the sledgehammer or the bathroom. I really liked the stuff with the bar and hotel room too. The killer's mask was creepy I don't usually think that but in this movie it was.
