SpunkySelfTwitter It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.
Kidskycom It's funny watching the elements come together in this complicated scam. On one hand, the set-up isn't quite as complex as it seems, but there's an easy sense of fun in every exchange.
Ariella Broughton It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.
Matylda Swan It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.
merrywater Yes, if you like to see a superficially nicely shot, and rather decently acted, movie that actually concerns...nothing, this would be an adequate choice. This movie was made for video, and in a strictly technical comparison, it doesn't give you, say, the sense of 80s "cheesiness".It starts out with a man entering his wife's bedroom with an ax, just like in The Shining. Then the man explains to his son that there's a curse. So far so good.Thereafter we follow a group of high school kids who are going to a Camp Something, just like in Friday the 13th, and everybody persistently states that everything's "creepy". This statement is indicated, for there's nothing happening on the screen getting the viewer to tremble with fear.Basically, nothing in particular happens until the last 15 min, when most of the high school kids are haphazardly killed. Well, they had to be, otherwise this wouldn't be labeled a horror flick at all.
Adrian Bruner (adrianmbruner) This rambling incoherent disaster of a movie has nothing good to be said about it. The pointless script makes it that much tougher to swallow as well as the actors wandering aimlessly without a hint of chemistry between them. Corey Haim is the supposed "name" in the film, followed by the unforgettable Mario Slater. And who could dismiss Michael Wise in his spellbinding performance as the Indian, not only do they try to convince us that he is an Indian, but our ears are forced to listen to his laughable accent. Overall, it's a cheap, poorly edited, and most of all unintentionally hilarious. But if your in the mood for laughing at a really, really, shitty movie then Fever Lake is your final destination.
nils-33 Possible spoilers aheadThis movie starts as a third rate slasher flick. A few typical dumb teenagers that are so obnoxious that you can't wait for them to die go off to Fever Lake for the weekend. A lake huh? That's something new.That night the Evil roams through the house, like a slllooowwww version of the Evil in the woods from the Evil Dead movies. I guess that's because this particular Evil comes from the lake, rather than the woods. (insert your fish out of water joke here) It also attacks a local waitress by smearing tiny drops of blood on her face. After slowly chasing her trough the woods of course. Only this time it manifests itself as a wolf, or dog (?), that is sometimes invisible and sometimes not. Or something.Finally, it turns out this is actually a teen slasher Shining. With a weird 'quiet' type of guy and a strange smart girl as Jack Nicholson. A nice girl, a slut, a jock, and a horny prankster for false scares as Jack's wife and son. And an Indian played by a white man that seems to be unable to move his facial muscles as the cook.
ehollendoner Fever Lake certainly does not measure up to any of the classic horror films out there. However, there is one actress in the whole film, who stood out far above the rest- Mila Chagall. The strength of Mila's acting surpassed even that of the "stars" of the film, Bo Hopkins and Corey Haim. She was believable without being campy, and in my opinion carried the whole film.
