“Black Creek” (** out of four) was a wan thriller about a troubled young kid (Chris O’Flyng) and his sister (Leah Patrick) who return to their native Wisconsin woods to scatter their deceased father’s ashes but soon find themselves haunted by an ancient Native American curse that has marked them for death. Director James Crow shows talent in creating a spooky atmosphere and features a terrific music score by Pete Coleman but film is unfortunately deficient in scares and thrills and becomes tedious after a while, even at only an hour-and-twenty-minutes long.
