I am not a movie snob - I am always on the lookout for low budget indie gems that are well made for their budget and talent pool.

This is not one of them.

I watched this because I like Corey Haim. I wanted to like this movie because he was in it. But I can't. I just can't. This movie is so bad, I don't think putting all my favorite actors in it would have made a difference.

Corey Haim, Mario Lopez, and Lauren Parker were the only ones who seemed to know how to act. Everyone else seemed wooden and out of place. When a dangerous moment was supposed to be happening, everyone ran like they were out on a leisurely Sunday jog. The pacing of the story can be described the same way, which made me keep checking the time to see how much I had left.

There is literally nothing redeemable about this movie. Nothing in the script is written very well. Not the characters, not the plot, absolutely nothing. The only back story that exists is with one of the main characters, and it's the one you can tell from the beginning who the perp is going to end up being. They give it all away from the start. There is no real mystery or reason for the audience to engage with the story at all.

It's a completely pointless slasher flick. But wait! Aren't there a lot of pointless slasher flicks that are still entertaining? Sure there are - and compared to this movie, they are Oscar winners.

I don't have a problem with movies that employ a lot of ambiance. This is one example where manufacturing ambiance doesn't do any justice whatsoever. There is zero skill in camera angles. Even the music is awful. The costumes would make K-Mart designers go on prozac. It's like they went to a church bazaar, bought a mystery box and dressed themselves blindfolded. I know it's 1996, but even by 1996 standards they were dressed pretty horribly.

There's a lot of reviewers that believe this movie must have been made in the early 1980s, THAT IS HOW BAD THEY ARE DRESSED.

This movie is a total waste. It's a waste of time, a waste of celluloid, a waste of bandwidth, and it's even a waste to have a profile dedicated to this movie on IMDb. It's a waste of an hour and a half of your life.

RIP Corey Haim - even you couldn't save this piece of crap movie.

I saw this last night and by god is it so damn awful. This movie exemplifies what it takes to have such poor acting and direction. The actors, pardon me, guys and girls on the film, acted SOOO bad, and the direction! Ugh! To add to it, the classic stupidity of characters in most horror films exist here as well adding to the total dismay of the movie. I don't know how dumb can characters get but if you want to laugh, watch this.

This movie was not a horror movie, it was stupid and a waste of time. In the first hour and 15 minutes there was one death, the last 15 minutes almost every one is dead. It was not scary or suspenseful. There were plot holes and awful acting. Please don't watch this movie it is not worthy of your time.

This is an over the top pilgrimage that also has the great acting skills of Mario Lopez. "Terror Weekend At Fever Lake" says it all. Okay, well maybe there is some Academy Award worthy acting and witty writing in this movie but Corey Haim's hair carries the film. Umm... they also must have signed a deal with Walmart because that's where the cast all got their clothes. I think these college students were too cool for school. So what the hell are you doing? Why aren't you watching this movie? If you liked E.T. you'd better buy this video.

My fiancee caught this little teenage slasher one night and decided we should watch it before bed. Now, here is the type of horror/"comedy" film you and your spouse or friends can pick apart while laughing in between, and then laugh some more when the end credits show. Everything you want in a retard horror film is in this. From the classic stupidity, exponentially multiplied by the teenagers in this film, to the acting. I'm sorry, did I say acting? That was an incredible moment when this one towngirl the ill-fated heroes and heroines of this flick met and befriended with gets slashed, and the response? It literally moved me to tears as they read their lines pretty much from cardboards held up by cameramen with little or no attempt at acting it out.

How stupid can people get in horror movies? It seems like their IQ's drop 50 points everytime they run into their friendly villain of the movie. Fever Lake, you're talking Forrest Gump drops here. This movie is plain silly.
