trashgang I only watched it for Eimeen Dietz, best know for her ultra short performance in the classic The Exorcist (1973) as Pazuzu. And she do gives the best performance in this flick. Sadly it's the only positive thing I can say. You have to wait over half the flick before things go wrong. Before that it's all about having a Christmas diner with the family and the new lover of their daughter. Going back to the cabin do offer a few issues in town with the family. But nothing comes out of that. When you think it's going to happen, in fact, nothing happens at all. Once the terror comes in it's all low on horror and gore and the must have shower scene doesn't offer a thing too. It did had some potential but the director chose to make it a low on everything with too much blah blah going on. Throughout the flick you will find out yourself who the killer is. There are a few twist but you won't be surprised about it.Lake Alice is out there but not for the geeks...Gore 0/5 Nudity 0/5 Effects 2/5 Story 2/5 Comedy 0/5
djquazer06 Okay after watching the trailer, which hadn't given too much away, and was actually quite a good trailer, I decided to watch this title, and see if it was as good as before mentioned trailer, and in all honesty I should have stopped at the trailer.After the opening sequence, you just knew this wasn't going to be a classic! It says it was filmed on Lake Alice in Tomahawk, Wisconsin, why didn't we see more of the actual Lake? The director was probably worried in case the lake got voted star of the show is this abomination of a movie. I was expecting a slasher/horror movie, where whoever the killer was, would ultimately either meet their fate in the lake, or send victim after victim to a watery grave then succumb to whatever hero, but none of this happened, what we got was a fleeting glance of the lake and the surrounding view, nothing to write home about.The film was as predictable as a magician doing a card trick that people all know that what he is doing is complete bullshit I mean seriously, the acting was just awful and the daughter and her mothers fake crying was actually doing my head in that much, that I was actually hoping and praying the killer would hurry up and do the job, but nothing happened, have seen faster snails, than the killer! After a while it became apparent that there was more than one killer, but we didn't know who it was at that stage, well that's what the director would have loved to have thought, but again it was so obvious who it was, especially within the poor attempts at trying to sway us and believe it was certain people when in fact it wasn't any of those people! And as for the ending, oh dear!In summary, this film was a lot of rubbish, avoid at all costs, and if you have seen the trailer, don't believe everything you see.. 1/10
Tina Willis This was a pleasant surprise. Most films like this (no big Hollywood star, lower budget as in not a ga-zillion bucks, smaller production company etc...) are just slightly different levels of BAD. I have rated them from 2 to 4 most times. This one is different!Even with numerous characters introduced, each actor did very well. THAT in itself is a huge difference in these types of films. The first 40 minutes lays a nice solid foundation presenting a story about full characters that I came to like, dislike and/or suspect. From the main family of characters to the small town ass-hole cops, an ex-boyfriend, to the weird dude from down the road. Some may find this part of the movie, slow paced, but I found it essential.If inconsistencies tend to bother you, there aren't huge ones here, and very few that I noticed but honestly there were one or two...mostly the same you find in many horror stories, but because every thing else was so nicely done I was able to forget it easily and just enjoy the flow. The score was a bit weird, particularly in an early scene. They used a tinkling music box sound, that in the first part of the movie sounded a bit odd to me, but when it was used again it was more appropriate. And THIS is just my tastes and my preferences. You may not even notice it.I really enjoyed that there were surprises and twists! One right after another! After the first 40 minutes it really picks up a rapid pace, and soon, all the characters that were the possible "bad guy" gets killed off so quickly I was left wondering who the heck it could possibly be!The last 20 minutes, several things happen that is unusual and different than the average horror film. I don't want to get too detailed and ruin it for you but will warn you there are a few clichés...but since there were enough twists to the story I think it made up for the few there were.The bad guy, was simply yet sufficiently scary. The killings/blood/violence done realistically shocking but not over the top gory for that unnecessary gross out value. Then right at the very end, when you think all the twists have been shown, they give ya another one.So a very nice viewing indeed! I hope this review helps you to decide whether this is the type of film you could enjoy or not.
davey184 I have never seen such a poor, so called horror film, lots of over the top screaming and very little action or story line. Very predictable victims and very predictable assassins. A child of 11 could create a better script.The film only lasts 75 minutes and believe me, that is the only good point. If you have an hour and a quarter to spare, do not use it watching this movie. You will regret it.
