The
Lake sisters named Kelly (Kelsey Wedeen),
Brielle (Kelsey Crane) and their
rebellious third one which is their half
sister named Samantha (Tara Gerard) finds
out that they have a Grandfather whom
they didn't know about and had just died,
then gets an inheritance so all three of
them go up to a resort to visit the Lake
Motel which is owned by their unknown
Grandmother named Gloria (Pat McNeilly)
and decides what to do with the property.
While they're there they decide to party
out but also discovers some unknown
relatives that are deranged psycho's that
their father named John (Dan Woods) tried
to warn one of them not to go up there.
One of the relatives are two hulking twin
brothers named Abel (Christian Stokes)
and Kane (Trevor Torseth) whom torture,
rape and then kill the people there
slowly till they try to get to the last
ones since Gloria doesn't want any
nonrelatives at their resort which didn't
include Samantha.
They try to get help from Sheriff Chuck
(James C. Burns) but he seems to be a
part of the family too which makes
matters worst shooting anyone he doesn't
like on the Lake property.
The situations looked a bit cheesy at first
with a dispute between an
elderly couple as it didn't seem too
believeable.
We have a good shot on an evil Sheriff Chuck Lake pointing a gun
towardsthe old man and some intering
cheesy CGI results after firing his gun
as there were many good camera takes on
it all.
We have some cheesy but enjoyable
discussions between Ben Graham and Kelly Lake with Samantha Lake acting
totally out of it in a living room
discussing about their estranged
grandfather and going to the camp resort.
There were spots that didn't seem natural
but yet seemed to do okay as young people
having the odd disagreements too.
We have a good camera shot looking down
on a supporting cast a funeral zooming
in.
We have many terrific camera shots on Abel and Kane standing near a distance in the woods
towards their victims before running in
for the kill and there's of course great
fast action shots when they attack which
borrows to those Friday the 13th kinds of tributes.
We have a great shot on Samantha being whacked in the head and thrown down
by both Abel and Kane while
getting tortured to death with good shots
on what they do almost making it hard to
watch. There's a great dark shot on them
in a boat at night and throwing her body
down in the lake.
There's many great shots with Amy Leigh running away
terrified and trying to hide which keeps
the suspense running wondering if any of
these people will survive which is one of
the spookiest moments of all on how the people were shooting this film and
the reactions everywhere circling the
terror.
There's a great horror moment with both Kelly and Brielle pinned to a chair
crying emotionally while Chuck gets aggressive with them as well as Gloria acting pleasant and aggressive at the
same time in which the makers of this flick brings all the pieces together making it
really twisted.
There's also a nice and disturbing moment
when both Kelly and Brielle are holding one another and sobbing.
We have tons of great shots with Kelly, Brielle and Ben running away in the woods with Chuck, Abel and Kane trying to
stalk them.
A great battling moment between Ben and Kane which was
perfectly choreographed.
Another terrific
moment with Kelly struggling
against Chuck which showed
terrific energy.
Nice powerful moment with John
pointing his gun towards Chuck acting like the hero which was probably
one of the best moments ever.
Bottom line: At first the film
looked like it was going to be another
run of the mill badly done indie camp
horror flick but yet when it gets going
it's really good and almost like a
tribute to those summer horror retro and
remakes such as Last House on the
Left, Texas Chainsaw
Massacre, Hills Have
Eyes, Just Before Dawn
and Friday the 13th.
There's a bit of everything in the film
and it's faced paced in a good way too. Lots of struggling moments making you
glued to the set wondering who will make
it out alive and who won't. Definetely I would vote for a sequel as
this little indie flick earned it so
let's keep our fingers crossed.
The acting is not
too bad but some of it was a bit
slacking. Lead actress Kelsey Wedeen (Kelly Lake) shows
terrific energy and aggression in her
role as an angered daughter to her father
plus shows great emotions too.
Kelsey Crane (Brielle Lake) was another one who
played her sister showing good terror to
her part and really knew how to cry and
get emotional as well.
James C. Burns (Sheriff Chuck Lake) really brought it on
by playing the role of an evil
unpredictable sheriff since he had a
great intense attitude to his role on the
film and a nice character to his part in
it too.
Supporting actor Alex A. Quinn
(Bill Welsh) seemed a little annoying in his role as a
skanky one at the camp and didn't do much
for me at all. Ho hum!
Pat McNeely (Gloria Lake) was excellent in her
part as an evil Grandma in the flick
first showing her niceness and then
snapping and behaving loud and wicked
too. A true born horror actress if I do
say so myself.
Dan Woods (John Lake) I can't seem to shake off
his role as Raditch in the Degrassi
TV series but showed he can wear
many hats to what he plays and does his
role well as a heroic type in the horror
film which is of course we all need in
one. He delivered his words perfectly
too. We have a good aggressive moment
with him at a funeral scene by having a believeable
argument when he tells his fellow actress not to go to
the resort which was done well that
you get a good impression that he has a
dark secret.
There's a brief supporting role by Tara
Gerard (Samantha Lake) as she tried her best playing
a tough girl with a stoned out like
attitude but however seemed too wooden
and doesn't pass too much. Well she was
one of the first victims to get killed
off.
A woman takes off
her top towards a guy near a tree about
to seduce him fully barebreasted.
Some heads are
bloodily shot
Lots of gruesome stabbings
A girl's legs are stabbed through with a
metal pipe
A persons face is stabbed to a tree with
a large blade
Heads are bloodily crushed
Two fingers are bitten off
Lots of bloodsheds
Perfect metal
sounds clanging and banging moment with
the heavy violin music too all of it
sounding dark and suspenseful in every
scene without a fail at all. I mean it
was perfect alltogether!!!! This was put together by Mark Petrie. |
