The Legend of Lake Hollow

And the song runs over the entirety of the credits. I think there was a movie that played before the song. There were people on screen doing and saying things. A lot of the same things over and over again. Often in a goofy manner. Then there was some kind of narrative reveal/resolution. And then a denouement stolen directly from Manos: the Hands of Fate.

But don't worry, the song starts immediately after. And the song is really want you want. I sure hope the song gains traction as the song is thoroughly entertaining. I am not certain if the song streams anywhere or is available on a video distributing website from the artist.

So four stars for the "soundtrack".

One of the worst movies I've ever seen. How on earth can this be classed as a horror? It really is terrible from start to finish. The only thing that makes this a horror is the absolutely awful 'acting' in this movie - where did they find these people? It's obviously low budget as they couldn't afford proper actors, so it made the plot even more completely non believable. Also in one of the same scenes one of the actors has different clothes on. Very low budget. Don't waste your time on this movie you will only regret it, there isn't anything positive about this movie. It's so awful it's not even funny.

Promised a lot, delivered nothing.

Given that it is a relatively new movie, I expected something new and different which would reflect the advances made in film making but to be honest it reminded me of something made in the 1980's to 1990's which if I am honest, provided some of the best horror movies to date. The acting was absolutely awful, overdone and disingenuous and the story was dull and predictable with a 'yawn' even more predictable ending. Obviously a low budget movie but some of the best flicks have a low budget so no excuse really. Can't un-recommend this highly enough. Avoid....

This is what you get when you put up posters saying, actors wanted.

Hey, bro! Let's spend a few days in the woods, shall we? Bring your girl! Where is this place Here! Take a look! I've got a few pics! (Hmmm...creepy house, creepy forest, probably no cell phone or internet connection, either...good place to get effed up) Hey man, thanks for the invitation but we already have some appointments...Oh...Ok, maybe a next time, yeah Hell yeah! (Hell no!) They were never seen again.....roll the credits.

I so didn't know that Lifetime was producing horror fims. They just don't make movies like they used to.

Pretty much that...

The good ol' very dependable 'Cabin in the Woods' setting, which I personally will probably never get tired of, and I mean that sincerely because when used well it can be very effective.

Creepy woods, mysterious and threatening sounds, the elements are here for a good film. But, they just simply are not put together very well. The acting is not the greatest. I would say for me personally IF the story itself had been executed much better and the director had a clue about how to create the narrative in an engaging way, sure, I probably wouldn't have been that bothered by the acting even though it wasn't that great.

And, as Leo at The Geek Legion of Doom said, which I ALWAYS check out when I'm interested in a movie, it is an excellent site and Leo is a great reviewer, it was like the entire film was setup, setup, setup, setup... and then an abrupt ending in the last 5 minutes. Not structured terribly well. And yes, you have the usual people doing dumb things to move the plot along.

So, yeah, not a bad idea at all and some very good atmosphere with great potential, basically all wasted on a rather poor effort.
