Blood Conscious: Le lac maudit

Like quite a few other people, it is easy to get sucked into the ratings game and base a film on its latest score.

With that in mind, an 83% score on RT would appear to be a good starting point, right?

Wrong.

This film was a cheaper-than-cheap amateur fest with a cast that appear to have been plucked out of the nearest drama school's reject cupboard. There's no story, no tension, no scares, and I reckon that even the 3 main characters were trying their very best not to burst out laughing throughout.

So you have to ask yourself how and why this garbage gets an eye watering 83% score on another well known review site. If critics cannot be honest in their appraisal of a film, then they are demeaning themselves, the movie industry, and most obviously the viewing public.

When the vacationers find everyone dead on their side of the lake and trap the suspected killer, they find out there's more to it than murder. The possession aspect could've been cool, but the lines and acting were just so bad.

If this movie was written, shot, edited and directed by 15 year old's, then good job. I can't understand how any serious movie producers would make the choices they did, regarding story (yawn!) and editing (are we in the 80's?).

I'm giving 3/10 stars but only for the acting. They won't win an Oscar for this performance, but the relatively good acting made the movie bearable, and we actually watched it until the end.

So, annoying people are heading to a cabin for the weekend with the parents (brother and sister plus her fiancee). When they arrive, a stranger claims that people are being possessed by demons. And that's about as far as the movie progresses. Annoying characters and an unresolved plot. Ho hum.

Terrible film - acting from 3 main characters not bad, but the rest were awful and worst storyline ever.
