Movie Reviews of Lake Dead - After Dark Horror Fest
Movie Review: Lake Dead, or at least I hope it is....
Summary: 1 Stars
Let me start out by saying I love the Slasher genre. Films like Friday the 13th and Madman are what I grew up on. That being said, Lake Dead is not a tribute to such classic B-horror films: it's an insult. The plot is absolutely twisted, the acting is horrible, and the effects are pre-70's. If you are trying to cash in on the fans of 80's horror, take a few notes from films like Hatchet. This isn't even a wannabe... it doesn't even come close. Don't waste your time.Movie Review: LOL Right

This is god awful. The writer of this movie sat down and ripped off what has already been done, Psycho, The Hills Have Eyes, and Wrong Turn. Enough of the serial killing rednecks okay? The acting was so poor. Times when people were supposed to be serious they were smiling, and the screams and begging sounded like something from Scary Movie where Shannon Elizabeth was screaming "EEK EEK!" Some cheesy movies are good to sit around and watch with friends as everyone makes fun of the characters and events, this doesn't even live up to the standards of a party flick. By no means do not get this piece of junk.Movie Review: Bad, Awful, Dreadful, Horrendous...
Summary: 1 Stars
Bad, Bad, Bad movie!
The 8 Films to Die For series REALLY needs to be a little more selective with the movies they choose for there horror anthology. It seems like they either get it really right (Frontier(s), Borderland), or really really wrong (Penny Dreadful, Nightmare Man, Dark Ride, Etc.)...
This was DEFINETLY one of the wrong ones.
The movie starts out with a trio of sisters inheriting a motel out in the woods (i have no idea where it was set) from a grandfather they knew nothing about. There father warns them not to go to the motel, he pleads with them to, but they are frustrated and angry with him for not letting them know they even HAD a grandfather with a motel to begin with...so they venture out to see what they can do with the inheritance. They bring along a fiance, a slutty friend, and a man-whore and his slutty girlfriend with an attitude.
The main problem with the film was the casting. I feel dirty for even saying this, but it felt like watching one of those softcore cheesfests they play late night on Skinamax. The actors all looked like they were cast specifically for a porno!
It was really difficult LIKING any of them. Even the two main characters were hard to watch.
There really isn't much more to say about this film, other than to reiterate just how awful it was.
Definetly worth avoiding at all costs!!!
Movie Review: Flashback
Summary: 2 Stars
This reminded me of a bad 80's horror flick. Bad acting, bad special effects with a one note story. The basic idea of the movie is that 3 sisters inherit an old hotel upstate from their dead grandfather. The twist is that he had raised some mutant inbreed family who then starts killing the girls and their friends. Nothing really connects well with this picture. Even as a homage to 25 years ago this really doesn't work. Too many bad plot points, and just very lackluster direction. I've just about given up with the Afterdark films.Movie Review: Why isn't there a 0-star??????
Summary: 1 Stars
I can't believe this film is a horrorfest. I know, I know, I know. Nothing fantastical about horrorfest films, but this one just plain stinks. Stupid, stupid, stupid plot, stupid actors, stupid dialogues; worse than the lowest of the low budget campy horrors. My gawd, it's just awful.
