Fever Lake

Let's put some wrong and offensive assumptions other reviewers have made to rest. Michael Wise may not look like the stereotypical Native American some commenters have in mind, but he is an Indian. According to his LinkedIn page, he has served as the president of both NAFTA and the Native American Caucus EEOC, so I seriously doubt he's a white man. He has also worked as an actor and stroryteller at the Autry Museum of the American West, and has been an active voice for indigenous peoples for years. People should educate themselves about stereotypes instead of accusing others of perpetrating them....not all Indians look like the pictures in your childhood history book. Every review referring to him as a white man should be corrected.

OK, now that that's over with....the talented Mr. Wise must have lost a bet (oops, that just popped out), because this is not a good film in any way, shape, or form. It's slow, boring, terribly acted, and a snooze-there is barely enough slashing to make it a slasher! But seriously, what did you expect? A bit more from Corey Haim, tbh....he should have l been able to act rings around the rest of the young cast. But even he, Bo Hopkins, and a way over the top soundtrack couldn't save this mess. Two stars-it's dreadful.

This is one of those terrible movies that is really good for the guys at RiffTrax to skewer. In my opinion there is still a lot of mileage to be gotten out of "teens in the woods encounter evil possessed killer" plots. But this thing is just such a mess! Other people have blamed the actors, the costumer, the director, the scriptwriter. I'll take a new approach and blame the editor. I see an outside possibility that the script was coherent, but that the editor rendered it into an incoherent mess.

The truth is, after watching the riffed version five times, I still don't quite understand what was going on in the movie. The "rules" of fantasy and horror don't need to make real-world sense, but these rules have to be explained clearly, and then stuck to, and make internal sense. The filmmakers failed at all this.

There is a lot to laugh at here. The wolf attack that did not include a wolf, the terrible acting of the "novelist," the assumption that college students play a lot of hide and seek and truth or dare still, the non- Indian, and everyone mispronouncing the word "wolf."

Poor Corey Haim. Being molested as a kid actor by producers, his drug addiction, and this movie. There must be a special place in the afterlife for someone who suffered that much.

A bad script, a bad director, and bad acting make this a bad movie all around. This is your generic teens-gone-camping horror flick, but couldn't they have done SOMETHING better with the script than this? There are so many plot holes and things that don't make any sense. About the only good thing I can say about this movie is they had a great special FX team. They put a fuzzy thing on Corey Haim's lip that almost looks like a moustache.

i am an idiot for paying a two dollars to see this movie.the "teenagers" were like,thirty years old and terrible actors(one of the guys was on the show Saved by the bell).This movie was dumb,predictable,and very badly made.My little sister could write a better script(shes 4)!I see this movie and wonder,"how in the world do movies like this get made?"DO NOT EVER SEE THIS MOVIE!IF YOU DO,YOU WILL REGRET IT!

This rambling incoherent disaster of a movie has nothing good to be said about it. The pointless script makes it that much tougher to swallow as well as the actors wandering aimlessly without a hint of chemistry between them. Corey Haim is the supposed "name" in the film, followed by the unforgettable Mario Slater. And who could dismiss Michael Wise in his spellbinding performance as the Indian, not only do they try to convince us that he is an Indian, but our ears are forced to listen to his laughable accent. Overall, it's a cheap, poorly edited, and most of all unintentionally hilarious. But if your in the mood for laughing at a really, really, shitty movie then Fever Lake is your final destination.
