Lake Nowhere

Simply horrible. Thank God it was only 50 minutes. That was the saving grace.

I was scrolling through Netflix and this title came up as "continue watching."' I must not have liked it the first time but I clicked on it anyway. I thought "ya, I remember not liking this." but I continued to watch anyway. I'm so glad I did!! Once I gave it another chance I was able to see what the director wanted to convey. Great movie! Different than anything I've seen before. I love discovering new gems like this!!

Never mind those who say Grindhouse, not to put these guys down, got all the titles, love them, but they got nothing on this, had me fooled and I´m a Slasher Gorewhore mega fan, thought it was actuallly from early 70´ties lost VHS material and all! Everyone on the production deserves high praise and a price! Get your hands on it any how necessary!

I'm constantly amazed at how "writers" and "directors" can be so bad at what they think their career is. It's like bunch of old guys at the park trying to charge you to watch them play. The best thing the cast and crew did was give the movie positive fake reviews...

I'm not sure if this is a long short or a short feature running at just over 50 minutes including some fake commercials and a fake trailer at the beginning. What I am sure of is that I love it.

Following the traditional setting of a group of kids going to a cabin by the lake the set up is over in minutes and then everything kicks off. One of the group goes swimming in the titular lake and when he returns the fan blades get well and truly clogged with poop, Where the film blends slasher and something supernatural brilliantly.

Shot in the retro style this movie pulls the look off fantastically. With tape roles and heavy grain, but it's not over done, it feels authentic. The clothes the look of the cabin everything is convincing. One small thing gave away that this is not an actual film from the period and that's the red heads tattoo. It's drawn in a style more contemporary a real shame when everything else is so great.

The effects for the kills are all great again in keeping with the vintage style of 70's and 80's horrors. A cool synth score soundtrack accompanies the action just adding to the flavour. The acting is pretty solid throughout all the way up to a pretty satisfying conclusion.

This truly is a love letter to those old horror movies you used to rent from the video store. So if that's your thing seek this out and if not seek it out anyway because it's great.
