Willow Creek is a 2013 found footage horror film written and directed by Bobcat Goldthwait.
It stars Alexie Gilmore and Bryce Johnson as a couple who venture into the woods of Willow Creek, California, in search of material for their documentary on Bigfoot lore.
Set in Humboldt County, California, Jim (Bryce Johnson), a stout believer in Bigfoot, and his girlfriend Kelly (Alexie Gilmore), a skeptic, travel to Six Rivers National Forest in Northern California, where Jim plans to shoot his own Bigfoot footage at the site of the Patterson–Gimlin film.
While heading into the forest in search of the Patterson–Gimlin filming location, they encounter a man who angrily tells them to leave, but Jim and Kelly ignore him.
During the night, Jim and Kelly encounter the woman from the missing person poster in Willow Creek, nude.
An unseen creature attacks them, killing Jim and abducting Kelly, whose cries for help are heard in the distance.
