I havent seen the second one so i will reveiw the first:I enjoyed Cabin by the LAke. It was refreshing to see a serial killer movie that didn't suck like those scream movies and clones. It is about a writer who is writing about a serial ckiller who drowwns young woman and keeps them at the bottom of a lake in his "garden." Then he "researches" it by actually *doing* it. It's kind of creapy and suspenfull at parts.A great movie to rent with some friends. But i would reccomend renting it before you purchase it (unless you are made of money that is:)
