Blood Conscious: Le lac maudit

I'm not usually a thriller/horror fan, but I thought this simple indie flick was awesome. The quiet, classic setting, the small but excellent cast, some well-timed jump-scares and a great soundtrack combined to provide a synergistic delight - much better than the sum of its parts. Reflecting after watching, I found there had also been some deeper themes. How had race played out, and male/female roles? How had paranoia unfolded, as the players (and the viewers) sought to identify and label the "good" and "evil" characters? And why did I so yearn for a clear, clean ending in a movie where those values were so scarce? Hats off to these indie filmmakers - keep it coming.

Halfway through this boring trash and literally NOTHING happens. Fast forward 25 minutes and still boring as hell. Avoid at all costs or you can watch and see exactly what I mean.

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.

Not much to see here... except cr*p acting, ridiculous lineup of pathetic people spewing out a laughable dialogue... and an absolute 'waste of time' plot.

Really guys, don't bother, you'll thank me. Really astounded that it's currently a 5.8!

There are certain themes and plot points that are interesting here. Actually I would even argue that the movie or the idea behind it, is more than worthwhile. Having said that though, the realization does not match the goals this set out to accomplish.

One of the things that will bug you, is how characters react and act ... especially when it comes to cell phones and their ... well use. Very frustrating to say the least. And not making much sense - except to keep the suspense and story going. Add to that some unconvincing scenes ... and ups and downs when it comes to acting (choices) ... Again, a shame, because there was a good movie here ... maybe some will still see it "shine" through.
