Lake Eerie

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!"

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.

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.

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.
