Lake Noir

Not the best and not the worst but worth a watch not anything extraordinary

I've seen a ton of indy horror flicks and this one ranks pretty low. You don't expect much out of most low budget films, but there is just no tension in this movie. There is seriously nothing happening for the first hour and ten minutes of this hour and a half film. No one dies, the "creature" (for lack of a better word) doesn't show up, nothing. Just a bunch of people talking about... well, nothing. It's as if you spied on a group of campers and listened in on their conversation for an hour or so. It goes nowhere. Just a bunch of talk about sex, food and booze. I can't imagine that there was an actual script because the dialog sounded made up and didn't even push the story along or help you understand anything beyond the surface of the cliched characters. There are so many plot holes and questions that make you wonder why the filmmakers never even tried to address any them. For example, why does a virgin girl clearly in her thirties need her mother's permission to go to the lake with her forty year old boyfriend? Why is this "creature" just killing random people, what's his motive? Why is everybody so cryptic and avoid just coming out and telling people why they shouldn't go to the lake, even when they're asked a direct question? And lastly, why are there multiple close up shots of the generic beers they're drinking? This was a film that might have been good if it was cut down to a 10-15 minute short. There's just not enough story or character development for a feature. A few boob shots and ten minutes of killing at the end isn't worth the hour and a half running time.

this film could be destined for mystery science theater 3000 there is some funny stuff though not sure it was intended lol the tent scene and the convenience store with the topless girls were my favorites like the last guy im giving it ten for the effort but I can understand why some people would give it less in my book 5 is the minimum for indie films and I have to say its good to see people supporting indie films which are a dieing breed. I really wanted more from this but like the last guy said give it a rent. me and my friends got drunk and watched it and could not stop laughing. keep it up guys the first ones a pass, next time the indie fans will want more and the horror fans will just plain come find you :0 what they did get right was the nudity , sex, and makeup and the story was good I could see what they wanted to do but low budget indies a bitch.

This horror story plods throughout with the most unidentifiable characters one can find.

It's very sad really. I really think the actors and actresses tried hard, and acted well, considering they had the worst script one could come up with.

It's a lake, it's horror, a monster, human monsters, humans who speak lines that are awkward and poorly written, and like I said, totally alien to anything you ever heard. It's a classic "nobody speaks like that" script.

I can promise you that you won't be able to stay awake through one sitting, so it's bits and spurts you will see. The girls are very good looking, and that's supposed to be the selling point. Well, that's what posters and photos are for. Movies and TV are for entertainment to most people.

It's too dull to be depressing, though, so it does get two stars out of ten, instead of just one. The one star rating is for the usual formula of Hollywood hatefulness and depressing young men. Not that it wouldn't be depressing if you could stay awake through it, but you won't be able to stay awake through it.

Very quick review for this really bad film,Amateur acting - explains why the majority of the cast NEVER MADE another movie. Of course it's ALWAYS a great idea to come up with a storyline that requires at least half the film to be shot in the dark.That way the Producer - I'm assuming there was one - can pass off this old crap as a 'horror' movie? I was more scared when I slept next to a cemetery as a 12yr old Cub!!Some reviewers have given points because there was a flash of someones tits, and THEY weren't THAT great!Boring predictable story, bad script, absolutely terrible acting, typical American 'boys away weekend'.Less painful having teeth pulled than watching this crock.
