Cypress Creek

Saw this on Tubi recently and figured I'd give it a shot. Man, what a mistake. I'd rather watch 2 turtles cross a football field.

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.

I never write any review for any movie, but if this helps someone to watch it please be my guest. Worst acting ever. What a waste or budget

I usually don't write reviews, but I had to make an exception for this one. The entire movie plot was basically non existent nothing made sense, at some point random events just started happening mixed with "special" effects and annoying sounds (very "special" since they were beyond terrible and will give you a headache) there was never any explanation as to why anything was happening let alone who the "creatures" were that were shown. For a great part it seems like they tried to recreate The Ring, at which they failed miserably. The acting was below average and not convincing in the least. I can't believe this was ever actually released. Awful, Just awful!! And how this movie got a rating of 6.8 will remain a mystery for me.

Four girls seek to spend a weekend at a mysterious cabin in the woods in Texas when all hell breaks loose (no, seriously).

"Lake Fear" (2014), aka "Cypress Creek," starts as a potentially worthwhile low-budget cabin-in-the-woods Indie with notable opening credits, a serviceable cast of females and an outstanding metal track, but 9 minutes in it becomes clear that this is a micro-budget flick. This would be okay, but the idea of an actual script is abandoned shortly after the teens arrive at the cabin in exchange for a tedious hour of horror F/X and creepy film techniques, which are well done, but useless when there's no attempt to offer an interesting STORY. It doesn't help that the guy who plays Remington is a lousy "actor."

The flick comes across as if the cast & crew of "The Evil Dead" (1981) dropped acid, threw out the script, and just screwed around with scary visuals & gore at a remote cabin; and then tried to make it work in the editing room. It's so utterly dull that I would leave the room to go to the bathroom or get something from the kitchen without caring about pausing it (something I never do). The fact that there are currently two sequels is incredible.

The movie runs 1 hour, 21 minutes, and was shot in Dallas, Texas.
