Lake Fear

Reviews

Wuchak
***“Pig Man, Pig Man!”*** Four girls seek to spend a weekend at a mysterious cabin in the woods in Texas when all hell breaks loose (no, seriously). “Lake Fear” (2014), aka “Cypress Creek,” starts as a potentially worthwhile low-budget cabin-in-the-woods Indie with notable opening credits, a serviceable cast of females and an outstanding metal track, but 9 minutes in it becomes clear that this is a micro-budget flick. This would be okay, but the idea of an actual script is abandoned shortly after the teens arrive at the cabin in exchange for a tedious hour of horror F/X and creepy film techniques, which are well done, but useless when there’s no attempt to offer an interesting STORY. It doesn’t help that the guy who plays Remington is a lousy “actor.” The flick comes across as if the cast & crew of “The Evil Dead” (1981) dropped acid, threw out the script, and just screwed around with scary visuals & gore at a remote cabin; and then tried to make it work in the editing room. It’s so utterly dull that I would leave the room to go to the bathroom or get something from the kitchen without caring about pausing it (something I never do). The fact that there are currently two sequels is incredible. The movie runs 1 hour, 21 minutes, and was shot in Dallas, Texas. GRADE: D
