So I gave 2 stars because I am from the area. The movie is watchable but plot and acting were weak. Definitely B movie but I enjoyed seeing the story brought to the big screen.
I grew up in the town and at the lake. It was a big resort town for the rich in the early 1900's (first toll road in America built by the Vanderbilt's so they could get to the lake from NYC) then everyone else in the 40s-60s. People began living there full time after and it became Suburbia. The hotels, pavilions, and bars faded away and the quality of the lake suffered.
We grew up hearing about the legend and it happened quite a bit. Stories told that it was connected by underground tunnel to the Great South bay and other stories were told.
Great place to grow up in the 70s and 80s with working class people (many NYC cops and firemen) who commuted to work everyday.
Chris Roach, very funny guy and he has always promoted the Lake. Good standup of times growing up there.
Weird America on Youtube has a great documentary about the curse.
