Watch Lake Consequence For Free

Simply A Masterpiece

The acting in this movie is really good.

The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Zalman King is almost the byword (bywords?) for erotic films and he certainly tries with this one. We have Billy Zane giving us his brooding, rebellious Billy, Joan Severance as Irene, the everyday wife and mother with a traumatic secret, and May Karasun as the sexually adventurous Grace, who find themselves together on the shores of Lake Consequence. Billy and Grace begin to unlock Irene's secret by some steamy scenes which of course are almost obligatory in a Zalman King film. May Karasun naked on the pontoon is a sight not easily forgotten and Joan Severance oozes sexuality with her sultry looks.Technically, the film suffers, though, from a constant stream of quick flashbacks accompanied by banging drums. These quick flashes may have been intended to heighten the mystery of Irene's past but to me they were simply annoying. To make matters worse, Irene's dialogue at the crucial time was so soft, it was almost impossible to hear. Irene's actions, running through the woods when Billy refused to take her with him were laughable. How to sum-up? A good film for fans of Zalman King but it could have been put together better.

Irene (Joan Severance) is a stay-at-home housewife with a young son. Billy (Billy Zane) is part of the city crew trimming the trees in front of her house. Irene becomes fascinated with the hunky worker. While her husband and son are out of town, she sneaks into Billy's trailer. She is stuck as Billy's girlfriend Grace drives away to remote Lake Consequence. The repressed Irene begins an affair with Billy and Grace.Back in the early 90s, producer Zalman King made a living with these erotica late night TV movies and shows. Joan Severance is a statuette woman and a capable actress. Billy Zane is also a workable actor but neither of them are particularly great. The story is a bad romance novel. There are naked beautiful bodies in this softcore porn. It's extremely cheesy and impossible to sit all the way through. It's almost mind numbing. However the intention is not necessarily to be great cinema.

The best reason to see this movie isn't for the two lead actors Billy Zane and Joan Severence. It's the supporting actress May Karasun. Joan plays a bored housewife and Billy plays a lawncare man to whom Joan is attracted. She sneaks into his trailer and falls asleep. Not knowing she is inside, Billy hooks up his trailer and drives off to Lake Consequence. When Joan wakes up, she goes outside to examine her new surroundings. Billy is gone, so she goes down to the lake shore where May Karasun bursts from the water nude, startling Joan. May is a beautiful creature and is unashamed to be seen skinny-dipping in a lake. This scene goes on for quite awhile and is, in my opinion, the best part of the movie. Eventually Billy returns, the three become friends, and Joan is led on an adventure of sexual freedom. Like most of Zalman King's movies, there isn't any hardcore sex, though this movie does involve a menage'-a-trois scene in a hot tub as part of Joan's sexual experimentation. Overall, one of the better "Red Shoe Diaries" style movies and one worth keeping around.

This movie has the most incredible sex scene I've ever seen. It takes place in a steamy hot tub with two girls and...ohmygosh...Billy Zane! The passion, the steam, and the look in his eyes makes this sex scene so immaculate, I wanted to rewind it a thousand times. Unfortunately, it was on TV. If you don't watch the movie for the screenplay (which is great also), watch it for this sex scene. I've never been so turned on by a movie before. I think I've found a new love for Billy Zane.
