The Lake Vampire

National films are slowly getting it. This movie is really well made, in terms of technical aspects. It is really well shot, lighting is great, sound etc.

It also has a very unsettling atmosphere all throughout, it was kind of disturbing actually, although there's not much gore in it, the times there is, are really bloody disgusting, they nailed that.

The acting however... This always happens in every venezuelan movie I have seen, it sounds like a play, it was kind of distracting. Characters speak as if they were reciting or narrating, they don't sound as if they were actually speaking to somebody.

Overall, it is worth the watch, specially if you have seen other venezuelan movies, this one stands out.

I'm not sure why the rating is so low. It's an excellent vampire movie. Loved it.

I guess I have the honor to write the first review for this Venezuelian movie. I'm pretty sure it's a first for me, to watch a movie from Venezuela, and for a first it was a pleasant surprise. The acting was on top, nothing bad to write about anybody from the cast. The storyline is worth watching, maybe a bit slow at times but you never lose interest as the mystery factor keeps everything together and interesting. To me there could have been a bit more gore to make it more special but overal it's a movie worth a watch.

An excellent police procedural / investigation thriller that has very dark feel. While trying to get inspiration for his new book , writer Ernesto Navarro stumbles upon a serial killer case from the 1970's where there appears to have a present day copycat at large. With the help of a long retired Detective Morales , he is determined to uncover the story behind the headless corpses that are being found around a local lake . This Venezuelan Spanish language film builds a great atmosphere as the no linear story unfolds. I was luck enough to catch at this weekend's Sohome Horror Festival. I really don't understand this clever film has not been picked up for worldwide distribution, I buy the physically disk today so I could re-watch it .
