Author: Moviefreak4653 from United States

"Lake Dead" was a bit of a disappointment for me. To be honest I wasn't expecting a whole lot, but I was wanting a good time out of it! I guess I mainly wanted to see this because they hailed it as "A film along the lines of "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" and "The Last House On The Left" with a bit "Mothers Day", "The Hills Have Eyes", and "Friday The 13th" blown in. So hearing this I just wanted to see this because I love movies like that, and at the time I very recently saw the exceptional film "Eden Lake" that too is along the lines of those films. However the difference between those to films is that in "Eden Lake" they did make it similar to those films, while at the same time made it extremely original. In "Lake Dead" is kind of the opposite, because instead of making it SIMILAR to those films, they try to make it EXACTLY like those films, while at the same time TRYING to make it new and different, when it just wasn't. The acting isn't anything to praise, and the wacko grandma is the only person on this entire movie who is fun to watch, and who can act well, and who is believable. Well I honestly felt some things like the whole sister missing side plot to be not too original, and unneeded at that. Also it just could have been slightly better in not only story wise, but like when people were killed, or attacked. Overall "Lake Dead" definitely could have been better, and for that it gets a 7 from me, just by how fun it could have been. However "Lake Dead" is definitely not a movie that I'm going to hail as "One of the best horror films of our time!" I honestly wouldn't recommend it unless you REALLY love horror films, like me. Otherwise skip "Lake Dead"
