Synopsis
Two sisters, lost in the Vermont woods, must attempt to cross a vast marsh before sundown and come to grips with the terrible tragedy that took place there when they were children. As the mist gathers and night falls, they are haunted by ghosts of their past and the evil lurking along the muddy banks of...Dead Creek.

- Carol Sullivan Dystopia Magazine
"...will make the faint of heart scream out loud – the true test of a good horror movie."
- Luke Baynes Examiner.com
"Dead Creek has great atmosphere and photography...the beauty (and creepiness) are overwhelming." -Margot Harrison Seven Days
