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.

Rented on a whim.

Expected very low budget, bad, but hopefully amusing horror film.

Got very low budget fantasy film, with an unusual and interesting plot, a few surprising performances, an extremely nice looking lead actress, and some underwater shots that will stick in my mind for a long time.

The lead villain has a classic sneer. He could make a career out of that sneer.

A catchy main theme song as well.

The film has some continuity problems, but after seeing the "making of" on the DVD (which is a lot of fun to watch by the way) I totally understand.

I do wish they had not edited in some gore effects into the movie after all the shooting was done. Fortunately though, the most blatant cases of that seem to be at the very beginning and end of the movie - so they don't interrupt the story and general low-key feel of the film constantly.

The plot is so interesting, that I assume it was taken from an actual legend somewhere in Canada. If the film-maker came up with it on his own, he needs to be doing something besides slasher films.

Pretty cool.

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.

A good film with quite a bit of pointless sex in the first half, and not enough action. The end, however, picks up with some blood, including a decapitation, a sword through the eye, etc. The effects are good considering someone probably paid for them with a credit card (and the limit on the card seemed to be $20). Available pretty much only at Blockbuster. Be sure to also check out Fangoria's other film release, I, ZOMBIE.

Good movie. You're very curious in the beginning about what's going on. The end is a bit predictable and I got confused because of the quick change of scenery and the special effects could have been better, but it was a nice movie to see.
