NipPierce Wow, this is a REALLY bad movie!

TrueJoshNight Truly Dreadful Film

Freaktana A Major Disappointment

Kien Navarro Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

nils-33 Possible spoilers aheadThis movie starts as a third rate slasher flick. A few typical dumb teenagers that are so obnoxious that you can't wait for them to die go off to Fever Lake for the weekend. A lake huh? That's something new.That night the Evil roams through the house, like a slllooowwww version of the Evil in the woods from the Evil Dead movies. I guess that's because this particular Evil comes from the lake, rather than the woods. (insert your fish out of water joke here) It also attacks a local waitress by smearing tiny drops of blood on her face. After slowly chasing her trough the woods of course. Only this time it manifests itself as a wolf, or dog (?), that is sometimes invisible and sometimes not. Or something.Finally, it turns out this is actually a teen slasher Shining. With a weird 'quiet' type of guy and a strange smart girl as Jack Nicholson. A nice girl, a slut, a jock, and a horny prankster for false scares as Jack's wife and son. And an Indian played by a white man that seems to be unable to move his facial muscles as the cook.

ehollendoner Fever Lake certainly does not measure up to any of the classic horror films out there. However, there is one actress in the whole film, who stood out far above the rest- Mila Chagall. The strength of Mila's acting surpassed even that of the "stars" of the film, Bo Hopkins and Corey Haim. She was believable without being campy, and in my opinion carried the whole film.

refinedsugar Some people say if somethings bad, there's no need to go on about it. With Fever Lake, I respectively disagree.It all starts one dark night. (hmm ...) As a young boy watches from his house's attic as his mother is murdered by a man (possibly his father) who we see is possessed by the "evil" of the lake. (This is indicated quite clearly by the green, evil glow in his eyes.) Flash forward to sometime in the future. We're introduced to a college school setting and a quick intro leads into Corey Haim (yes one of the "Corey's") and Mario Lopez (of TV's "Saved By The Bell"). Seems Haim has a country home up in Fever Lake so he invites some male buddies, including an undersexed idiot, and a trio of girls, two airheads by definition, up for the weekend. Of course, they know nothing of the strange events that happened at this house in Fever Lake. Sure, right, whatever.Meanwhile the local sheriff has his hands full with Clear Springs. He's the local native American Indian (played by a white dude?) who knows the evil is coming back. He warns the sheriff again and again, but to no avail as naturally the sheriff thinks he's nutty. Plus he's busy tugging up his pants that seem to be weighed down by his gun belt (which seems to be a full-time job in itself). Not that it matters the sheriff is a classic cliché. By horror movie definition, sheriffs have to ignore any warnings especially those from faithful Indians who are quiet and deeply intelligent. Just wonderful.Most predictably, weird things start going down. Cars are acting oddly and there's an evil, foreboding grey wolf stalking the woods. Meanwhile Haim's having these mind trips into the evil of Fever Lake and the local townsfolk won't talk about "that stuff". Rack up another cliché. Of course, there's always someone willing to talk about it ... explain it to an audience that's assumed to be too stupid to put it together for themselves. Then they drop this "innocent" bit in dialog that tells us Haim's character is an orphan. Like before I was told that, I wasn't supposed to have figured out yet that Haim's character was that young boy from the beginning all along. Downright dumb.Hack, hack, scream, scream. A false scare or two, making out, then dying. Panicking, then dying. Running off and dying. Wiping down car windows (!!!) and dying. The evil gets stronger, the Indian's fires burn brighter, he screams, again more of the evil wolf and a "shocking" ending that's cheating on the part of the writers. Don't be deceived by the movie box either. It's not even scary. You'd have to watch the movie to find that out. Maybe now you won't.

americanpie7000 i am an idiot for paying a two dollars to see this movie.the "teenagers" were like,thirty years old and terrible actors(one of the guys was on the show Saved by the bell).This movie was dumb,predictable,and very badly made.My little sister could write a better script(shes 4)!I see this movie and wonder,"how in the world do movies like this get made?"DO NOT EVER SEE THIS MOVIE!IF YOU DO,YOU WILL REGRET IT!
