Cypress Creek

The DVD art of this film and the 2012 film From Beneath (a.k.a. Lake Fear) is utterly confusing. Trying to differentiate between the two is nuts. Both titles have alternate names, but two totally different directors, stories and casts.

Aside from the films themselves, it is hard to figure out which one you may be watching. Apparently, the correct poster for the 2014 Lake Fear is a lake house with the title in red lettering. The alternate title to this version is 'Cypress Creek'.

I can't even begin to tell you how bad this film is! I have just wasted nearly 80 minutes of my life and I feel like suing the distributors of this film for even agreeing to make it public! I feel sorry for the actors to be honest, they probably won't get chance to work again. Audio track is distracting at best, badly edited and annoying at worst, effects and gore are very poor quality, DVD case plot seems reasonable, in reality its boring. I only sat through it because I thought "it MUST get better", but it doesn't. Starts like a poor quality parody, and just gets worse and worse.

If this was on youtube as a college kids attempt at a horror made with friends, it would be poor. As a public released film where people are expected to pay money to watch, no, its wrong, someone should have stopped this film ever getting pressed to DVD! Seriously, its junk, buy it just to see how bad a film can be, you will want a refund!

From the very beginning, nothing made sense. I watched this for over 80 minutes and have no idea what the hell that movie was about. Please don't watch this. I promise, it will be the biggest mistake of your life.

Or, how NOT to make a horror movie. I guess part 2 is a sequel in name only ... Wait, Lake Fear One is called Cypress Creek here?! Now I'm really baffled.

Absolutely zero semblance of a plot. Four girls go to a cabin. Complete and utter nonsense transpires. This was categorized as a comedy(!) on imdb, which made me curious. For a good laugh, read the synopsis on the back of the DVD box after viewing. It is 100% fictitious. Lake Fear is easily the cheapest, most ineffective Evil Dead knockoff I've ever seen. You can keep a checklist as you watch: "Stuff ripped off from Evil Dead." I counted one cool shot, and it involved fireworks(!) in the special effects budget. Plenty of girls covered in blood, so I guess it's not a total loss.

I don't know what to say.I watched Lake Fear 2 previously, and I actually enjoyed it.So I thought this would be similar. NOPE! This movie is just a mess.It's like a bad rip-off of Evil Dead,with elements of The Ring and House on Haunted Hill,all jumbled together in a completely incoherent manner.Do yourself a favor and just skip ahead to Lake Fear 2.
