6/10
Disappointing Gore Horror Tale
19 November 2010
Warning: Spoilers
In the early 30, Hitler and Third Reich dedicated to explore the occultism and in 1936 they sent emissaries to North America. In Morgan County, West Virginia the immigrant German family Wollner accepts to lodge the historian Richard Wirth (Michael Fassbender) in their farm for one month, receiving a large amount in return. Richard demonstrates a great interest in a Nordic runic stone the Wollners have in the barn.

In the present day, the paramedic Evan Marshall (Henry Cavill) misses his older brother Victor Alan Marshall (Dominic Purcell) that has vanished two years ago in the fields nearby Town Creek. Out of the blue, Victor appears in his house during the night, haired, dirty and tattered, and tells that he had been imprisoned for two years in the Wollner's farm. They take their weapons and return to the farm, where they discover that the Wollners have sealed off evil in their real estate and are paying a high price for this action.

"Town Creek" is a disappointing gore horror tale, considering that the director is Joel Schumacher. The supernatural story is violent and gruesome, but never scary; very confused and lacking explanation why the vampire necromancer has a third eye, or why he can not drink his own blood. My vote is six.

Title (Brazil): "Renascido das Trevas" ("Reborn from the Darkness")
