Lady of the Lake

I wanted to like LADY OF THE LAKE but, boy, the movie never gave me a chance from the get go. It's awful from beginning to end. Everything about it feels amateurish: acting, script, direction, etc. The whole thing is inexplicably awful: the dream sequences with the fire made me gag; the execution of the whole concept of hauntings and people going into mirrors, etc. The worst part were the flashback scenes. Now when and where exactly were those flashback supposed to take place? They tried to make it look like medieval England (on the cheap) but the story, or the lake to be more precise, is in Canada. Huh?!?!

I regretted watching this.

This movie's only saving grace is at least you get to see a hot redhead naked and the excessive way beyond the call of duty overacting by Christopher Piggins is actually comical even when he's being serious.

The plot is very simplistic as it borrows from Ghost Story (a much better film) with a Rennissance fair made real to boot.The script is just well plain and boring.

The special effects show off the budget. If not for the nudity you might see this on MST3K or as a Sci-Fi channel late night movie .I was lucky in a sense because i worked as an assistant manager in a video rental store when this came out and got to see this for free but somehow i still feel like i paid.

The director of this movie spent 10 years trying to bring this project to life. His mission was a success. For all the people that enjoy fantasy this is the movie to see. It is as close to a film version of a true fairy tale as you can get.

Chapeau...

This has to be one of the worst movies that has ever been made in the history of film, even worse than "Motel Hell". The acting is horrible, the dialogue is horrible, and the special effects are horrible (actually, the cheesiness of the special effects is the only good thing about this movie.) Do not rent this movie, do not watch it on PPV, wait for it to come on regular cable some late, late Saturday night when your having trouble sleeping. I guarantee you that this movie will knock you into that deep sleep that you will be wishing for while watching it. Oh yes, and please pray that there aren't sequels to this movie, cause if there is, you'll know that it's the end of the world.

I remember this movie from when I was younger and have actively sought it out. I only recently managed to get ahold of it again. It has a rather unique and memorable storyline that is a good mixture of romance, fantasy and horror. It has some lovely aesthetics and some unsavory ones. All in all though it still held my attention and I loved it just as much now as I did then. Its definitely a take it or leave it kind of film though. You'll either love it or hate it and it is rather low budget so you aren't going to get anything spectacular in that department.
