Prior to sitting down to watch this 2016 movie titled "Lake On Fire" (aka "Conspiracy Theory"), I didn't know that it was a found footage movie. And had I known prior to sitting down, I wouldn't have given it the time of day, simply as I loathe the found footage genre.
But I had gotten down to watch it, and so I gave it a chance. And while I did manage to finish the movie, I can't claim to have been impressed or entertained. I simply stuck with it to the bitter end because this was based on aliens. However, I can in all honesty say that you shouldn't bother with this movie. Some of us suffered through it so you don't have to.
Being a found footage movie, you are in for some very questionable and shoddy camera work. I dislike this to the point where my interest in the movie dwindles away quickly. Why would I pay to sit through something that I could very well film better with my own DV camera and actually apply a stead hand to the camera while at it?
The dialogue in the movie was atrocious, and it was for the most part delivered by some very monotonous performances by the casted actors and actresses. So don't get your hopes up for a grand thespian performance here.
As for special effects. Well, they simply aren't present in the movie. None whatsoever. And the movie suffered from that fact, because it just felt like an amateurish home-movie.
My rating of "Lake On Fire" is a mere two out of ten stars. And this is by no account a movie that I will ever return to watch a second time.
