Here is the first still from Dominic Purcell's upcoming horror/thriller movie "Town Creek" which is set to open in 2008. The movie is about a man and his brother on a mission of revenge who become trapped in a harrowing occult experiment dating back to the Third Reich.
"Town Creek" had it's first screening in Chatsworth, CA last month and a moviegoer in attendence gave his short review on IMDB.com. Here is what he had to say on the bloody action horror:
I thought it was GREAT. A very good film. Aside from the camp fun teens vs. vamps classic the Lost Boys, I am NOT a big fan of the work of Schumacher. Nothing he has done prepared me for this. This is more like Near Dark. This is an intense, bloody, very fast paced and violent occult/vampire/action film set in the US rural midwest. The word vampire is never uttered in this film. The lead baddie is more of a monsterous ghoul. Not a sexy vampire/human, he is more like the ugly Nosferatu, but more deformed. And throw out everything you know about vampire lore - no garlic, no turning into a bat, no Christian cross. The plot concerns a Nazi effort to use the occult to gain eternal life. This movie is very fast paced. The first 9 minutes are in an enhanced black and white, set in 1936 as a Nazi historian visits a German-American family in rural America. This scene is great. When the movie jumps into modern day, it goes right into the revenge story and the action. I will leave out story and spoilers. The funny thing is, as i said, most of the 17-25 crowd did not seem to like this movie. I fear they way cut out some of the violence and gore to make it more apppealing to all the little Britney wannabes shopping at the mall. they need to realize that this movie will play to the 25-45 crowd who like serious horror films and intense action films. Acting was very good in the two lead roles, and the supports. There is a terrible part at the end that sets up a sequel, which should be cut. And the title Town Creek is utterly stupid - nothing to do with the film and sounds like a rural farm family drama. I suggest for a title "THE RUINS" or "THE BLOOD STONE" or "DARK RIVER" or "BLACK RIVER" Anything but Town Creek! Bottom line, great horror film. A horror/action film with balls and brains.
