Lake Fear (2014)

Sick Product of a Sick System

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

'Lake Fear' or 'Cypress Lake' or 'A Haunting At Cypress Creek' as my DVD cover called it is the story of four girls wearing short shorts who go out to a remote cabin and things start to happen. By the end of the film one wonders, what did happen? What was that all about? Once inside the house there is a relentless barrage of choppy editing, useless acting, shots in focus, shots out of focus (this becomes terribly irritating) and some unconvincing gore towards the end to try and breathe life into a long expired movie. Acting-wise it was amateur, particularly when the girls were in their bloody make-up so you couldn't even tell them apart. The music score is hilariously bad and the director had obviously plundered his DVD collection for lots of the imagery. The sound effects weren't awful, mainly in the beginning, so compliments for that. Otherwise a tangled mess with no rhyme or reason.Sad Cypress indeed.

Awful isn't even enough to describe this failed piece of a movie. It shouldn't even be called a movie because it just has no beginning and no end. Even for a low budget movie it's "horrible"First of all, the movie starts like the average teenager horror movies. You get shown the crew, 4 teenager girls, who won a travel to a cabin in the woods via YouTube. Yes that is true a cabin in the fu**ing woods. And from the time they arrive, you just don't know what's happening. I watched the entire movie and I really have no clue what the f**k is going on. This is literally just some random visual effects put in a blender and this "movie" is the outcome. I have never wasted my time before in my life as with this piece of s**t. I hope, that everyone who finds this movie through IMDb, looks at the user reviews and reads mine because I REALLY WANT that NOBODY has to watch this movie ever again! I am outta here!

There is not a single chance the positive reviews of this film are not bought and paid for. At least I have to keep telling myself that to keep from believing people actually enjoyed this film. I love horror. I love campy horror. I love cheesy horror. I have been willing to sit through a bad movie just because I was bored and the girls were gorgeous. I have excused plot-holes, unfinished narratives, poor acting, poor visual effects, poor sound and poor editing and still walked away from the experience having enjoyed it.This movie hit all those bad points at once in a tidal wave of suck. By far the worse thing about this film is the sad attempt at scary sound effects and a creepy soundtrack. There is so much fail here the sound editor should seriously go back to delivering pizzas. From glitched dialogue to pointless effects to what appears to be an attempt at a creepy narrative track that drifts in aimlessly and leaves you befuddled as to its intent this is just a giant catastrophe. A close second is the crappy visual effects. If they can even be called effects.Not a single enjoyable quality in this movie can be found in any single frame so please save yourself the time-waste and just watch anything else. Hell, stab yourself in the eye with a protractor point then squeeze a bushel of lemons into it since that will be eminently more pleasurable.OK, fine, the cat girl is cute as hell.

I can't even begin to tell you how bad this film is! I have just wasted nearly 80 minutes of my life and I feel like suing the distributors of this film for even agreeing to make it public! I feel sorry for the actors to be honest, they probably won't get chance to work again. Audio track is distracting at best, badly edited and annoying at worst, effects and gore are very poor quality, DVD case plot seems reasonable, in reality its boring. I only sat through it because I thought "it MUST get better", but it doesn't. Starts like a poor quality parody, and just gets worse and worse.If this was on youtube as a college kids attempt at a horror made with friends, it would be poor. As a public released film where people are expected to pay money to watch, no, its wrong, someone should have stopped this film ever getting pressed to DVD! Seriously, its junk, buy it just to see how bad a film can be, you will want a refund!
