Lake Alice (2018) Reviews

• Unbelievably predictable

  davey1842017-05-13

  I have never seen such a poor, so called horror film, lots of over the top screaming and very little action or story line. Very predictable victims and very predictable assassins. A child of 11 could create a better script.The film only lasts 75 minutes and believe me, that is the only good point. If you have an hour and a quarter to spare, do not use it watching this movie. You will regret it.

• A competent slasher with a did not see ending

  chrisstock-045802017-05-10

  Watching this film last night kept me entertained through the 80 minutes of this slasher. It was decent in the genre did have a few slower moments but the finale paid of big time. The acting was good across the board the tension brilliant at times. But I would have liked to have seen more intense moments or jump scares, there were enough to justify my 7/10 rating. The ending was superb did not expect that one bit and that's why this film deserves credit for taking bold risks where some just stick to the formula. A good slasher with quality acting.

• Waste of time

  Wow, I really have no idea what movie some of the positive reviewers were watching here. This movie that clocks in at barely 80mins was painful to get through. Awkward acting, terrible editing...just bad all round. Firstly the "action" really doesn't begin until about 65 minutes into the film at which point you're thinking to yourself "when is everything going to happen?, "At what point are people going to start dying?" By the time this does start occurring, you really don't care. I personally WANTED these unlikable characters to die.. The editing in the last 30 minutes...will make you care even less about the outcome, characters pop in and out at different environments, even for a horror, I was like "how the hell did they get here?" "Characters act more moronically than they usually would in a horror, and that's saying something. The poster of this movie looked great, hence my reason for watching it...but as the saying goes, 'Don't judge a book by its cover'...in this case, the cover is way better than the content. As for spoilers...whatever you do, don't read the IMDb "Storyline" it essentially gives away the "big reveal" and I'm assuming the viewers who watched this movie and stated it was an unpredictable ending, hadn't read this...not that one really needs to, to guess who the killer may be.

• Lamest I've seen in a while

  I love to watch horror flicks, but sadly 99% are really bad. This one is not only bad, but the acting and dialogue is so stupid you start to feel sorry for the actors. Right from the start I felt like the characters were badly defined, but I kept at it thinking it would get better. Sadly, it only got worse. I'm not sure how movies like this get the funding and actually make it to the theaters. Must be someone they know in Hollywood. The actors appeared out of place and distracted the whole way through this disaster. Every character looked like they couldn't understand what they were supposed to do. Almost like they were embarrassed by what they were saying and doing. Nothing in this made sense. The plot, the dialogue, even the reveal of who were the killers. I can't believe I even stayed to the very end to see a final "twist" because that didn't make much sense either. There were several good reviews for this, but they must have been people involved in the production because no one in their right mind would consider this anything more than a very poor student film. Almost laughable, but instead you feel pity for the actors. I wasn't going to write a review at first, but thought maybe I could save someone a few hours of wasted time. Take heed and stay away. The only horror is how bad it's done.

• For an in-the-woods slasher, this is much smarter than your average bear

  For every 300 horror stories filmed, there may be one which is worth your time and attention. Look no further. This movie was riveting and extremely well-acted. The cast were obviously committed to their roles and the script, direction and photography was first-class. 45 min. cruised by before the 1st victim fell. Which is fine, because it gives the audience 45 min. to enjoy the tableau. It also creates 45 min. to establish the characters and no fewer than 5 suspects, one of who we imagine will be the eventual killer. I don't, ever, reveal spoilers. Suffice to say, the ending is a surprise and is ultimately a gratifying conclusion. I have to say, though, that in my 3 visits to Wisconsin, I have never witnessed mountains as portrayed in the cover shots. I don't doubt their existence...I was probably overwhelmed by the pastures, the livestock and the mosquitoes. Enjoy.
