Lake Alice

So you spend your first 50-60 minutes of the movie just being introduced to the characters with nothing even happening only to have them slashed in as few minutes in the most hilarious ways. The characters just teleport around, one scene they are at the forest and another they are at a house. Let's not mention the killer who just pops up behind every single person like he's a hybrid of a snake and a ninja. The killers are EXTREMELY predictable and guess what the heroine being saved at the last second. This movie is just compiled cliches that turned into this movie.

Weekend whatever movie Could've been better but when this story has been done already this is what you get. The consent screaming when you should be quite annoyed the hell out me.

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.

I only watched it for Eimeen Dietz, best know for her ultra short performance in the classic The Exorcist (1973) as Pazuzu. And she do gives the best performance in this flick. Sadly it's the only positive thing I can say. You have to wait over half the flick before things go wrong. Before that it's all about having a Christmas diner with the family and the new lover of their daughter. Going back to the cabin do offer a few issues in town with the family. But nothing comes out of that. When you think it's going to happen, in fact, nothing happens at all. Once the terror comes in it's all low on horror and gore and the must have shower scene doesn't offer a thing too. It did had some potential but the director chose to make it a low on everything with too much blah blah going on. Throughout the flick you will find out yourself who the killer is. There are a few twist but you won't be surprised about it. Lake Alice is out there but not for the geeks... Gore 0/5 Nudity 0/5 Effects 2/5 Story 2/5 Comedy 0/5

It's hard to know where to start with a film like this. There is so much I liked and at the same time so much I didn't. Let's start by saying this is not a well made film technically. The acting is dreadful, the camera work is shotty and the sound mixing is unbearably bad. There was clearly a pretty low budget in the works here so you just have to accept those things for what they are. On the other hand though 'Lake Alice' breathes some surprising life into the very very tired slasher genre. I love the fact that the film tries to be as unique and unexpected as it can possibly be. Too many films today are afraid to step out of their comfort zone and take a risk, and consequently come across bland and forgettable. You could never say 'Lake Alice' was afraid to think outside the square. As for the horror side of things there are actually a couple of genuinely well crafted scenes and scares. There are also some that fall completely flat, but you take the good with the bad. Without spoiling anything I'll say there is an ending that you will either absolutely love or absolutely hate. My opinion is that I love what they tried to do, but hated the execution with which they did it. Altogether though 'Lake Alice' was a far better experience than I expected going in, and it will put some big-budget horror films to shame based on innovation alone.

This is NOT as bad as most user reviews suggest. In fact, it isn't bad at all. Is it a little slow getting started? Yes. It's called CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT people, it's a good thing. This is not a slasher in the Friday The 13th vein, and it also isn't a "home invasion" thriller. It is just a solid little horror movie. No design to be more. Enjoy it for what it is, go elsewhere if you want something different.

Just watched "Lake Alice", kind of a home invasion horror film, but mixed in with other horror genres to keep you guessing. Pretty standard plot, until the end, of a family going to a small town in Wisconsin and staying at winter home for Christmas. There is the Father, Mother, the daughter who has brought her boyfriend that they have never meant, and they announce their engagement. There's her former boyfriend still living in the town, and you just know by the various characters, that evil is on its way. I kind of liked it, the kills are pretty good and nasty, and a couple of plot twists at the end. All in all, I enjoyed it for the most part, and for a low budget indie, very well done.

"Lake Tomahawk" and "Lake Alice" are the same film. There is an axe in the film (once maybe) and I don't recall seeing the lake other than in a postcard scene. In any case this is really a cabin in the woods who-dun-it and has nothing to do with the title. Sarah (Caroline Tudor) comes home from California to Wisconsin to spend time with her parents at their cabin home. She brings along her boyfriend (Brad Schmidt) who proposes. The film then spends 45 minutes creating suspects for the killings we know are about to come. Then they happen. Two resurrections and one WTF ending later the film is over. The twist wasn't really a twist as it has been done in a dozen films or more. It is okay when it is done well, but they pranced it around too much and in fact it didn't make any sense to do it as far as the plot was concerned, it was done strictly for the audience. It was hard to judge the characters as they lacked consistency. Guide: f-word. No sex or nudity

Critically acclaimed director Ben Miliken strikes again with another masterpiece horror. Direction was over-the-top with good use of vfx and great atmosphere. Acting was superb, lead actors just nailed it. Script was right on the money. Film appeared to be psychological thriller in the beginning as lead actor was looking like some kind of a suspect, mysterious kind of a persona. Then film turned into a supernatural horror and finally turns into slasher horror in last 20 minutes, as the iconic mask killer starts murdering everyone. And then twist after twist and surprise ending turns this film into an Oscar winning material. Overall, it was one of finest comedy horror films of all time. My rating:  -1 / 10

This movie was absolutely terrible. It is so bad that I am actually writing a review which i never do. I can't blame this on the actors because they were just playing a role and they played it to the best of their abilities, but the writers did a horrendous job. Why did it seem like everybody in the girl's hometown had sex with her? And when the murderer came, he killed the dad and mom immediately so the writers thought oh uh so we still have about 40 minutes left (or however much, i gave up), so i don't know let's just throw some other people in there to murdered too. And when they ran to woods for the second time (the first time they had to run back for the mom who ended up dead by driving into a tree?), they actually made it out because the killers stopped looking for them because they were busy with the cop. But no, the writers made the girl not only a * but a dumb one because she went back to house only to watch the cop die then ran off. I didn't even care to see the rest of the movie after that part.
