Crazy Lake

Good student movie, beautiful young people. Good laugh.

Nothing to see here folks. This is a movie written by, for, and starring dudebros, with about as much effort and intelligence as that implies.

Despite stealing it's ingredients from far more competent slashers, this doesn't even really feel like a horror movie. This feels like a Mountain Dew commercial. Lots of slo mo lingering shots of girls butts in bikinis, dudes flexing, and constantly pouring water on themselves, to rave music. A ton of obnoxious stereotypes. Generic plot. Oddly tame kills. A bunch of craft store paint looking fake blood. Amateur camera work....and a completely uninspired plot.

Despite setting the bar extremely low, it still manages to disappoint. Lazy filmmaking 101

A group of young and dumb guys and girls go out to a cabin in the woods, but someone else is already there, and they aren't looking to party. If you are a horror fan, you will love this. It has blood, it has gore, it has a fun twist that I didn't see coming, and it has any horror fans favorite kind of ending. It even came equipped with a mid credit extra scene at the end. If you're anything like me, you probably skip past movies with no reviews, but this one is absolutely worth watching.

I'm a HUGE horror fan but this film is just so bad. I tried really hard to carry on watching but we couldn't take any more of the constant parading of the (bad) characters. Poor acting, terrible characters, awful music Trying to be a movie that it just isn't. If you have seen movies such as 'Shark Night' or the 'Lake Placid' series? Yeah, it's not even up there... It's not sexy, just silly

Actually, as another reviewer pointed out, it was like watching some bad advertising promo. Couldn't have put it better myself!

This place got its name because years back, hospitals and clinics used to toss their most troublesome, psychotic patients into the lake to drown. A group of friends visit the cottage for the weekend, which just so happens to be on Crazy Lake. Are there escaped patients still running around or is the place haunted, because they start to die, one by one.

The first five minutes has a couple in a tent being attacked by a Jason knock off with a machete. Wait, I've seen this film before and then for some reason the director has a few scenes that seem to come off as commercials for some beverage, with the quick editing, loud techno, reversing and fast forwarding etc. Don't forget the shirtless guys and bikini clad girls. When you get over this crap you get to the meat of the story which is really bologna because there is no story.

The violence is kept to a minimum with a few stabs and throat cuts. Most of the characters are annoying at best. For some reason though I liked the ending which is why I didn't give it a 2. Don't bother swimming in this lake.

4 eyes on a skewer out of 10.
