Lake Eerie

It's funny to see all these fake reviews and how the rating of the movie has been plummeting over the last few days.

I'm not sure what to add, most points are covered by the previous reviews (the real ones, that is). The acting is stiff and amateurish, even Lance Henriksen somehow looked like he had never been in a movie before.

The story is extremely stupid. Half the scenes don't serve a point, and could have been removed from the movie without making it worse. Actually, it might have made it better. But why stop there? If just all the scenes had been removed, maybe it would have been slightly watchable.

Don't waste your time, not even if you're looking for a bad movie to laugh at. Go find something else to watch.

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.

Literally laugh out loud.

The lead actress (Meredith Majors) is catastrophically unable to portray a convincing human, never mind a recently bereaved widow. She has less talent than a soft-porn actress, and I can tell you this for certain because there's actually a hilariously bad, and painfully inappropriate soft-porn scene inexplicably rammed into the middle of the film! You get an idea of this woman's utter lack of talent when, early on, she fails to simply walk down a road without looking like an awkward marionette.

I kid you not, it's like a home movie made by doting parents who film their baby daughter self-consciously pretending to "act natural", and then force you to watch. The only redeeming features are an unaccountable cameo by Lance Henriksen and the over-enthusiastic neighbour they've invited over to help out. She can't act either, but boy she gives it a damn good try.

Get out while you can.

Odd the film was getting panned and that in 3 days in November suddenly a batch of highly rated reviews suddenly appear isn't it.

Well unlike those fake reviews I have just seen this movie and have no connection to it whatsoever.

Don't watch it based on those reviews, its very very very poor. I only sat through it because Im off with a bug and nothing else to do.

Its a typical low budget affair, poor script, poor acting.

The fake reviewers would at least have some credibility if they awarded it reasonable scores, marking it 8 out of 10 and placing it up there with the classics really shows just how fake they are.

I like indie films and I'm prepared to give them slack that I wouldn't give to mainstream movies. I hated this movie. The acting was, throughout, bad. Sometimes painfully bad. Again, I can put up with that. Professional actors cost money that independent movie makers don't have and indie films give new talent a chance to make their marks. Plot and script writing on the other hand costs nothing and, in both, this movie literally falls apart. Horror movies, even the best of them, require a suspension of disbelief but, when the characters in horror movies start acting in ways that stretch credibility, you have a major problem. Example (one of many): There's a strange man in my new house. Response: Find a knife (check), find a light (check), take some pills, find a comfortable sofa, lie down, sleep till morning (nope). By the end I had completely lost interest in both the characters and the story line. The IMDb rating has been boosted by lots of positive reviews (no doubt from friends and family) and I'm confident it's only going to head in one direction. Don't waste your time watching it and, if you do, leave a suitable review. Don't be surprised however if your review is instantly attacked with lots of "This review was not useful to me" hits.
