Black Lake

This is my first and last time probably I will write a review for a movie, but this one was special and I needed to do it. This is the worst movie I have ever seen, of any genre. 60 minutes in and nothing happened. Don't waste your time.

A beautiful and sinister piece of art. I got completely absorbed into the world of this haunting film, and was affected by it for days afterwards. The imagery and soundtrack are uniquely powerful and the atmosphere created by these is truly uncanny.

Like too many 'horror' movies these days, Black Lake is 100% scare free. Worse, it is stultifying. Nothing happens, just a lot of arty photography and throbbing music. How does someone get the financing for a film this awful?

Contrary to those that scored this 9/10 and 10/10, this is NOT a film for horror fans that want a movie that "packs a punch". This doesn't pack anything at all and couldn't punch its way out of a wet paper bag. I'm not sure which movie they watched but it wasn't Black Lake, that's for sure.

While the visuals try to be stylish, they're just as dull as the plot. The only time I held my breath was in anticipation of passing out so as not to have to see the rest of this dreadful offering masquerading as a horror. Eventually, I could take it no more and killed it after 40 mins of slow and dreary nothingness.

I'd rather watch snails mating.

Seriously ? All you see is the main character walking around the house and having breakfast. Then walking around the house more. Then walking around outside her house. That's it. Where was the horror?
