White Creek

As a card carrying movie lover, it pains me to give such a low score. I'm stubborn in my viewing; once a movie starts I'll watch to the dogged end, even if only to understand what was good enough about it it to be produced and distributed. My taste is eclectic, I enjoy all genres from all eras - if I hated a movie you can be sure I tried hard to find SOMETHING redeeming about it. "White Creek" failed utterly. It's overwhelmingly slow paced. The dialogue is uncomfortable either from poor writing or bad acting (maybe both). The plot was so confusing that I don't even know what it was about. There wasn't enough character development to decide who I liked and who I didn't. The feudal culture was vague. On the rare occasions that anything actually happened it was such a leap from the story-line as to have no meaning. The bits of violence were mere seconds of bloody shock value, and the word "value" is a reach. The only reason I gave it a 2 instead of a 1 is that I didn't turn it off before it was over. I kept hoping for something to make it at least understandable. No luck there!! Save your time - you will be more entertained watching water drip from a faucet.
