zee This is one of those terrible movies that is really good for the guys at RiffTrax to skewer. In my opinion there is still a lot of mileage to be gotten out of "teens in the woods encounter evil possessed killer" plots. But this thing is just such a mess! Other people have blamed the actors, the costumer, the director, the scriptwriter. I'll take a new approach and blame the editor. I see an outside possibility that the script was coherent, but that the editor rendered it into an incoherent mess.The truth is, after watching the riffed version five times, I still don't quite understand what was going on in the movie. The "rules" of fantasy and horror don't need to make real-world sense, but these rules have to be explained clearly, and then stuck to, and make internal sense. The filmmakers failed at all this.There is a lot to laugh at here. The wolf attack that did not include a wolf, the terrible acting of the "novelist," the assumption that college students play a lot of hide and seek and truth or dare still, the non- Indian, and everyone mispronouncing the word "wolf."Poor Corey Haim. Being molested as a kid actor by producers, his drug addiction, and this movie. There must be a special place in the afterlife for someone who suffered that much.
merrywater Yes, if you like to see a superficially nicely shot, and rather decently acted, movie that actually concerns...nothing, this would be an adequate choice. This movie was made for video, and in a strictly technical comparison, it doesn't give you, say, the sense of 80s "cheesiness".It starts out with a man entering his wife's bedroom with an ax, just like in The Shining. Then the man explains to his son that there's a curse. So far so good.Thereafter we follow a group of high school kids who are going to a Camp Something, just like in Friday the 13th, and everybody persistently states that everything's "creepy". This statement is indicated, for there's nothing happening on the screen getting the viewer to tremble with fear.Basically, nothing in particular happens until the last 15 min, when most of the high school kids are haphazardly killed. Well, they had to be, otherwise this wouldn't be labeled a horror flick at all.
robert_norrie55 fever isa movie which was on TV the other night at about 3am. After watching this unsuspenseful movie I guessed at what rating it would get. This movie could have been good as the story in general is OK. The actors lines are cheesy and stupid. They make you feel like laughing. Also the makeup could have been a lot better as it looks fake. In one of the scenes their is an attack by a wolf and I don't know if you weren't supposed to see the wolf or what. The actiong was poor as well as they should have casted a real native American instead of a poor look alike. Although I believe this movie to be very poor and the acting to be acceptable but I kinda like it in a strange way. Thats why I feel it could have been made a lot better with a much bigger budget.
ehollendoner Fever Lake certainly does not measure up to any of the classic horror films out there. However, there is one actress in the whole film, who stood out far above the rest- Mila Chagall. The strength of Mila's acting surpassed even that of the "stars" of the film, Bo Hopkins and Corey Haim. She was believable without being campy, and in my opinion carried the whole film.
