Query: Lake Dead, or at least I hope it is....

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.
