Spring Lakes

While the script and storyline were decent overall, the acting particularly during physical combat and violent scenes was notably weak were we found several moments felt amateurish and lacked the intensity the plot demanded.

Dialogue throughout the film was largely unimpressive and bordered on bland, which further diminished the emotional weight of the narrative and the depth of interaction as well

Some reactions were lacking what necessary, and others were unexpected in the bad way..

The movie lacks some kind of details about some characters' lives that would normally bring some interesting scenes to attract the audience..

Any review that has less that maybe 2 or 3 stars is from someone either related to the actors, film crew or are in fact the actors and film crew as this has to be the worst thing I've seen in a long time and I have seen some really bad stuff.

I cannot give you any spoilers as I think I managed to get about a quarter of the way through before I could feel my brain cells dying at the bad acting, stupid plot line, horrible camera work and as for the horrors, I swear when I got to the 3 men in a field draped in sheets with dark make up on I logged out. Absolute trash.

I know that people need to learn on the job and so sometimes you can watch a "bad movie" but also see some sort of potential this is just bad. No redeeming quality.

Spring Lakes is a slow burning, fluid piece that tales Marcus's story in a serious of gritty scenes as well as moments when he is alone ,all of which are framed around Marcus's fears, hopes and the reality of walking through hell , physically as well as mentally. The cast give powerful, invoking performances that pull you into the film.

The atmosphere surrounding these affectual moments is one of true horror. They are on the cheaper side of indie effects, but all uses are believable. The soundtrack and music score push the macabre of the story to chilling levels.

Overall Spring Lakes gives us a strong, true film in gory, dramatic honesty. Ranjeet's directing shines as does the fantastic and beautiful performance of James Bryhan , leading the story through a tumultuous rollercoaster ride of emotions, especially those with Rosalind Stockwell, bringing this nightmare to life making James worthy of his leading man status.

The beginning does move slowly but the performance of both Marcus and Mary keep you intrigued making a worthy film that warrants watching.

We just watched the movie, we can't believe a child was hung upside down & torn apart. We've never seen such a movie where infants are exposed this way.

It's horrible and appalling filmmakers would let something like this be seen by audiences all over the world looking for, but this is a review or sending your way with the same thought goes against the grain of our believe stepping in an area that should never be stepped in, for this reason many will not be viewing your features in the future. I hope this is never re-created in any movie at any time in the near future or beyond for adults or children to have to view something so appalling and disgusting and heartbreaking. We value our children and this should not be displayed in a theatrical setting, I have not seen anything such as this in the many years of view and horror movies, which is my favorite genre, good luck but I hope you never see such a scene ever ever again.

The scariest dysfunctional family ever to hit the screens. A relationship between a mother and son ( brilliantly portrayed by Rosalind Stockwell and James Bryhan) to rival that of Norman Bates and "mother" I thought this was going to be another in the woods horror and so didn't have much expectation, but as I watched the entwining levels of emotions , both human and beyond, the story became less black and white and more shades of grey. David Lamont was full on twisted and sickening. Something all horror bad guys should be. Evil and funny , almost a Freddy Krueger minus the claws , but seeing what he does to one of the characters, he doesn't need claws. Bryhan's performance was fantastic. The range of human emotions from the underlying subtle nuances when with his Mother shows a history of some sort of abuse with the little lost boy to the full out rage and frustration only matched by Stockwells magnificence. I only wish these two had more screen time together.
