lake dead be about three sister who inherit an isolated motel on the edge of a lake after an unknown grandfather of theirs dy . warn by their estrange father not to go to the place and they ignore him and decide to make a weekend out of go up to see the place and bringing along some friend albeit one of the sister and who head up to the motel earlier than the rest and vanishes . but their laid back weekend turn into a horrific tragedy when they be attack by two deformed psycho in jumpsuit . and they seem to have a link to the motel and a strange old woman that run the place . i would hear bad thing about this movie and but decide to rent it and give it a try . honestly and this be one of the bad horror movie i have see in quite a while . nearly every aspect of it be extremely cheap and amateurish and and just completely flat . at first it appear to be a throw back to cheap 80 slasher movie and but after you watch a good twenty minute of it it apparent that it be nothing more than a failed attempt that pull trick and scenario from every other slasher movie of it type . the script itself appear to contain hint of originality in the beginning and but a it progress it hit cliché after cliché after cliché . it blend element of the hill have eye and wrong turn with it villain and try to create deformed hillbilly that turn out look like the caveman from the geico insurance commercial and clad in michael myers esquire coverall . it pull scenario from these film as well ( the whole motor home attack be suspiciously similar to the hill have eye and and the sheriff character reminiscent of the texas chainsaw remake ) and but do a bad job at imitate them . but beyond the extremely derivative nature in the script and there the acting . the performance here be utterly absurd . the actor all look like and act like soap opera star and and their delivery and expression and and overall demeanor be terrible . each character be stereotypical from the get go and and there be absolutely no personality in any of them . the writer themselves be at fault here as well for form such flimsy character and write such ridiculous line for each of them . even have this film have a decent script and the inept and wooden acting and dialogue would have detract from any good that would have be in it . i spend a sufficient time cringe at the delivery of the line . the cinematography have few redeem quality a well and and the gory special effect be amateurish like everything else here . some of the death scene be creative and i will give it that and but theyre also quite absurd and unrealistic and and often there just for violence sake ( the whole pipe through the ankle and chain pull through it bit be over the top to say the least ) . there also some completely random and unnecessary sex scene that border on soft core pornography and and be so out of place and poorly portray that it laughable . there be also an unnecessary rape scene in the film ( which seem to go hand in hand with hillbilly killer nowadays ) that be so poorly construct that it not even close to be disturb and which be actually kind of scary in itself . the script eventually try to tie up the character with this family subplot include the old motel keeper and the deformed hillbilly and which be the crux of everything and but this doesn not mesh well or make any sense whatsoever . overall and there be really nothing i can recommend from lake dead . it script be so derivative and uninspired that it be doom from the beginning . throw in some cheap gore scene and some random sex and and some of the bad soap opera act you will find and and you have get this . i be often a fan of cheesy b grade horror movie and and i really and really want to enjoy this flick . i have a little bit of hope for it and but it be impossible . there be nothing close to scary or worth see here whatsoever . i know that some of horrorfest movie aren not of the high quality and but i be really quite surprise that they even pick this up for their 2007 selection . it be really that bad . negative .
