Quotes

Mary: [to a little girl] Hi. What's you're name?
[the little girl does not reply but continues to stare blankly at Mary]
Mary: [sternly] I asked you a question.
[no reply]
Mary: You do know what happens to little girls who don't answer when they're spoken to? They go to hell.
The Daughter: There's no such thing as hell. That's a myth. My mommy told me so.
Mary: Oh, but you're wrong, sweetie. We each make our own hell. And trust me, they are very... very... real.

Not even all of the T&A could save Wicked Lake

Four young, well-endowed hotties rent a cabin in Hicksville, USA where they've been followed by a group of morons consisting of an ultra- feminine art student, a mentally challenged (?) pervert, a geriatric war veteran in a wheelchair, and their sadistic ringleader. Also hot on the girls' tails are a couple of greasy, dirty, toothless country bumpkins whose most impassioned lines are, "God damned city bitches!" Let me not forget to mention two detectives who are pursuing the damsels in distress. Only they're not damsels in distress. At the stroke of midnight, they transform into bloodthirsty demons - bloodthirsty LESBIAN demons.

This is... one of the worst I have ever seen and I have watched some major stinkers. Unfortunately, not even all of the T&A could save Wicked Lake. The tone of the film is constantly changing and confusing for the viewer. Am I supposed to laugh? Is this character to be taken seriously? Much of the movie looks like it was shot with a camcorder, the dialog made my ears numb, and the acting is deplorable. I live for B-movie horror and low-budget amateur efforts so I've made it a habit to overlook sub-par acting but, in this case, it's so bad that it's unforgivable. Even worse, when they're not 'acting', they're zoning off, unresponsive to anything that's happening with the rest of the characters. It's a complete mess.

I'm irritated that I wasted 95 minutes of my life on this cinematic piece of excrement.
