Lake Eerie

the acting was not so great. Cheaply made movie, special effects were rather funny.

By the middle of the movie had to start fast forwarding as it felt boring and got annoying.

Many horror movies tend to have really silly moments, and it's usually something so simple, like why would you light a candle in order to look through the window? or would you be lighting a candle rather than holding the knife like crazy if you were really scared? By the time she actually did it you could travel to Mexico and back.

Overall not convincing at all.

Bad acting. Bad writing. Bad directing. Bad. The biggest thing that struck me was how it appeared that the actors, director, writer/s seemed to never have interacted with other humans before. It's like aliens were trying to sneak an alien movie into the public and they thought "This is how humans act, right?".

I tuned out after the inexplicable lesbian ghost dream scene.

You could enjoy this movie by turning it into a drinking game. Within the first half hour the neighbor lady says dear about 30 times. That's what old Earth human people say, right? Take a shot every time she says this and you'll have a great time.

"You're the bravest person I know!"

There were two reasons for why I opted to sit down to watch "Lake Eerie". The first reason is, of course, my love and fascination with the horror genre. And the second reason was because iconic actor Lance Henriksen starred in it.

But to my horror, this movie turned out to be unfathomably slow paced and quite boring, to be perfectly honest. And it was quite a struggle to remain seated and actually follow the movie through to the end. I did manage to do so, but were quite tempted to give up a couple of times along the way.

The storyline in "Lake Eerie" wasn't particularly appealing in any sense, and it seemed like a rather monotone script that didn't really translate well onto the screen. And it was further cemented by having one-dimensional characters that were frightfully devoid of any kind of personalities to make you care.

For a horror movie, "Lake Eerie" was disturbingly devoid of anything even remotely scary or reminiscent of anything thrilling to make your heart pump faster. The movie just settled into an almost hypnotic slow pace and never managed to get out of that pace.

As far as the acting went in "Lake Eerie", then I will say that the cast were doing fair enough jobs with the limitations imposed on them through an inadequate script. And not even Lance Henriksen could manage to lift up the movie with his performance.

This is the type of movie that you will watch once, and I doubt that you will ever make a second attempt of watching it again. "Lake Eerie" came and went without leaving any lasting impressions with the audience, nor did it manage to make any kind of dent in the horror genre.

I went to Mask Fest and saw the World Premiere and I didn't understand the rave reviews then and don't understand the overly spectacular reviews on here now. I don't know if people were afraid of hurting the director's feelings or what, but it's not good, plain and simple. Not scary and down right laughable. I think there are some good ideas but it just didn't come together. I'm all for independent films but it needs to be better than this. A real disappointment especially given the fact that Lance put his name and his face on this project. Perhaps if he'd had a bigger part and it wasn't so obvious the director was trying to push his wife to the fore front it might have worked better. I listened to the comments at the premier and quite frankly I think people were just being nice so they could hob knob with Lance. The movie is just not good....sorry! Out of respect for the fact that I realize someone put their heart and soul in this project, I stayed and sat through the entire thing, hoping it would get better and it didn't. I generally don't write reviews but because of all the pre release hype that I found hard to believe, I kept waiting for someone, anyone to be honest... No one said what I and my husband were both feeling at the time, it was just not a good movie. I do give props to Betsy Baker and Lance...they were the ONLY reason we stayed til the end.

The story itself wasn't that bad, but the writing and acting was terrible; very difficult to watch. I'm not sure why someone would half-ass their dream of making a movie instead of getting the money together to do it right.
