Blood Lake

Near as I can tell the budget consisted of the cost of the camcorder, the tape and probably a couple of pizzas for the cast and crew. Something something, kids at lake house, something something, murderous hillbilly. Kind of in a category where it's almost not even fun to mock. Makes The Room look like a masterpiece.

Blood Lake (1987) C-90 min. D: Tim Boggs. Doug Barry, Angela Darter, Mike Kaufman, Travis Krasser, Tiny Frazier, Andrea Adams. This has to be the most hilariously awful movie I have ever seen, and clearly the worst slasher film ever. A chunky killer begins murdering teenagers in a secluded house on the lake. Why? Who cares? Features probably the worst acting of any film in recent memory. Also features several long scenes in which nothing happens (such as the card playing scene). And what the hell is with that ending? RATING: 1 out of 10 (ONLY because you can't have 0 out of 10). Rated R for graphic violence and strong language.

The plot of "Blood Lake" is very simple:a group of partying teenagers is stalked and murdered by crazed killer in cowboy boots during their summertime holidays close to a large lake.There is water-skiing galore and extremely poor acting.The script is so bad that it was probably written by monkey.Long and tedious scenes which lead absolutely nowhere fill "Blood Lake".There are few gory killings including particularly nasty throat slitting,but the lack of suspense can't be forgiven.The film drags pointlessly to the point of extreme boredom.The killer is more laughable than menacing.So if you like hysterically bad slasher flicks like "Savage Water" or "Don't Go in the Woods" you can't go wrong with this amateurish "Friday the 13th" rip-off.3 killer cowboys out of 10.

This shot on video movie has the vibe of a 1980s porno film, but there's no nudity and minimal gore to recommend it. There's some amusing dialogue and attractive teenagers (every male has a mullet or rattail though) but ultimately it's quite dull.

This film essentially begins with a car containing 6 young adults driving down a rural country road with a boat in tow amid high hopes of spending 3 days together at a summer house boating, skiing and swimming. However, when they get to the house they discover that the refrigerator is stocked with fresh food even though nobody has supposedly lived there for quite some time. Along with that, they also wonder what happened to the gardener who was supposed to be around when they arrived. What they don't know is that a deranged man has been lurking in this area and has already killed the gardener and has now set his sights on them as well. Now rather than reveal any more I will just say that this was a rather low-budget horror film which featured a lackluster script, hardly any suspense and poor special effects. In short, it wasn't as entertaining as it could have been but I attribute much of this to the limited budget and have rated it accordingly. Below average.
