Lanier

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 🤷‍♀️

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.

This movie was was very difficult to watch. It lacked a realistic plot, was not scary, funny, romantic, informative or even entertaining. The characters were not likeable at all. They were mostly irritating negative stereotypes. The acting was very poor and it was hard to follow who the characters were and what motivated them. It was very unrealistic and bordered on comical. I'm not sure how this got funded but from the production value it probably didn't cost much. This movie was about an hour and ten minutes and my teenage daughter said it looked like it took an hour and a half to produce from a cell phone. I feel like I got ripped off paying for this. The positive reviews have to be almost entirely fake.
