ShockTillYouDrop got their hands on the official synopsis for the oddly titled CREEK (once known as TOWN CREEK), the Joel Schumacher film that we’ve been hearing about for a while, although it still has not yet settled on a release date (it’s produced by Lionsgate, so…). At least we now know what to expect. Sorta…
In 1936, the Wollners – a German family living in rural Town Creek, Maryland – are contacted by the Third Reich to host a visiting scholar, Professor Ricard Wirth. In need of money, they accept Wirth into their home. Wirth’s grand occult project seals the Wollners off from the rest of the world and makes them players in a horrifying game of survival.
Now, in 2007, Evan Marshall’s life has stalled at twenty-five years old. Left without answers after his older brother Victor’s disappearance from a camping trip near Town Creek, he has tried to move on. But when Victor returns one night, very much alive and having escaped his captors, Evan asks no questions – at his brother’s request, he loads their rifles, packs up their boat and follows him back to Town Creek on a mission of revenge that will test them in every possible way…
In all honesty, I like the first part of the synopsis better than the second, but I dig historical horror, and I don’t know if I’ve got much company (granted, it’s not easy to pull off, and sometimes results in astoundingly horrible movies). The flick stars Dominic Purcell, Henry Cavill, Michael Fassbender, Emma Booth, Rainer Winkelvoss, Shea Whigham, Gerard McSorley, and Winter Ave Zoli. Hopefully we’ll soon find out if it’s definitely coming our way this year.
