Lanier

The only good thing about this movie is the scenes of Lake Lanier. The acting was forced and the story didn't really make much sense. It's true there was some racism and I believe what happened in Oscarville back in 1912 may have been true, but it had nothing to do with the building of the lake. I'm not quite sure what the point of the story was. I know the area very well, and it was interesting to see the different parts of the lake that were filmed as it moved between scenes. I would not recommend renting this... wait until it's offered for free on one of the streaming services. It must have been a low budget movie for sure.

I decided to support the creation of this movie and I did wonder why the cost was reduced but decided to purchase. From the beginning it gave the vibe of a B movie but decided to go ahead and continue watching. My expectation of an excellent historical lesson failed miserably right from the beginning. Bad actors, no real story line. I struggled to watch this one, fast forwarding here and there. I am so glad that I watched this alone because I would have been totally embarrassed making this a movie night with anyone. I believe this movie will be free to watch soon. I hope you're able to get through it if you have time to waste.

The horrible acting and extremely low budget might have been a non-factor had this film made any legitimate attempt to incorporate the history of Oscarville and Lake Lanier but it fell more than short.

Don't waste your time or your $5.99. The entire movie felt like a couple of families taking vacation on the lake got drunk and decided to make an impromptu movie while they were there. If someone told me the screenplay was written on a napkin at 3AM in a Waffle House, I wouldn't be surprised.

I typically appreciate low budget and B movies, but I honestly cannot find a single redeeming quality about this waste of cinematic space.

I paid 5.99 for this when I should have been paid 5.99 for watching it. The acting was terrible and the plot was stupid! The facts behind lake Lanier and mystery behind it should have made for a great movie that made people want to visit just to feel the vibe. The movie was a joke! The movie had very little to do with the history of the lake and very predictable. What a shame and disappointment! Hopefully someone else will create a movie based on the story of lake Lanier that will be worth watching but this one is not it! Don't waste your time or money on this low budget film! Sorry not trying to be mean but 🤷‍♀️

I'm a huge horror/ Suspense movie person!

I loved that they captured the history of lake Lanier BUT I was really bored at the beginning, it started to get good and then BAM it ended... I felt they could have done a lot more. I know it's a lower budget movie. But how it ended and how fast made me go...WHAT?! I was a bit upset by that ending..

Other than it ending right when it started to get good, It was a good movie. I would tell people this and still recommend it.

Everyone has their own opinions though.

P.s 1,100 people were violently forced out in 1912, due to a " racial cleansing ". Soon, the town was flooded, to make lake lanier. For the memory of Oscarville, and the people who lived there.
