As a long time collector of horror dvds/blu rays, I have come to the conclusion that eye catching cover artwork doesn't always equate to a good movie.Take lake alice,or lake tomahawk as its known in the u.k. The cover art features a blood stained and gore encrusted tomahawk smashing violently through the surface of an ice covered lake.Striking huh ? Well it was impressive enough to make me rush to the counter to pay for it. Sadly said artwork is vastly more imaginative than the movie contained within. Think of the most groan inducingly predictable slasher movie you have ever seen and then times it by two and you'll be left with 'lake alice'.Ok so not many people watch a slasher flick expecting dazzling originality, but to be as derivative as this is some feat.Originality issues aside ,'lake Alice' commits the biggest sin in horror cinema and that's being boring.Nothing happens for vast swathes of the film and when it does its largely lacking in blood,tension of anything remotely thrilling.Trust me gorehounds will get more joy out of an episode of 'dexter' and everyone else will probably be asleep come the denouement,I know I nearly was.
