Watch Lake Dead For Free

One of my all time favorites.

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

Hearing of an inheritance, a group of friends heading out to check on a family-owned motel learn the owners are trying to force their incest-based beliefs on them and forces them to try to stop their murderous advances.There's a lot to like here but it does have some pretty troubling factors in this. Perhaps the biggest issue is the films' rather cloying practice of keeping the hero's alive simply to provide for a plausible rescue later, despite everything else rational and logical in the story. If the family was that intent on ensuring their successful traditions, leaving the boyfriend alive is quite irresponsible and illogical on numerous levels. It contradicts their own rules about not leaving witnesses, causes the family to look incredibly incompetent and forces the final half to descent into a series of captures and escapes which is highly repetitive throughout this which makes this stick out quite well. As well, the concept of the family engaging in incest doesn't make them seem all that more imposing or frightening by engaging in this activity when their logic is belted out simply with one line about tradition which is inherently lame and ridiculous. After these elements, though, there's not enough to really beat this one down with its good points keeping this one somewhat interesting. The fact that there's the need for the constant boyfriend kidnapping means there's some great action here as the need to escape and getting caught again brings great scenes along. The first encounter in the woods with the couple being ambushed, the later attack on the RV and the numerous confrontations inside the house where the different brawling and shootouts occur are a lot of fun which manage to get some rather interesting times with this one as the focal point for the action is usually based on the kids having to outwit the familiar who always try to simply overpower them. Beyond the action, this produces nicely with some really enjoyable suspense scenes here with the opening attack in the motel room, the dive in the lake among the dead body and the final revelation about the family's incest-filled past being pretty chilling. Along with the rather brutal and bloody attack scenes in here, these are the film's good points.Rated R: Graphic Violence, Graphic Language, Nudity, a sex scene and strong themes of incest.

Just to get it out of the way, I seem to be one of the only people here who understands that "low budget" isn't an actual criticism. A LOT of things can be done on a shoestring these days, and "low budget" doesn't mean a movie is bad any more than "big budget" means a movie is great.That being said, I didn't think this was that badly done. Sure, you're working with no-name actors in archetypal characters who aren't particularly polished at their craft. And, of course, it's entirely predictable just like you know it will be simply by reading the synopsis of it before watching/renting. At least they when they shot "day for night" everything wasn't blue like in the first three movies I tried to watch tonight and stopped before getting 3 minutes in.The problem with this movie - as was the problem was similar movies and others I've seen of late - is that they can't resist trying to slap a little epilogue onto the end of the film that makes no sense. For example, lets say you've been watching a movie where a female character has multiple rendezvous with men during the movie, and after everything is tied up at the end, they tack on a couple of minutes where it's revealed that the female is actually a guy, equipment intact. Because it's obvious that one of the guys earlier in the film would have noticed that, it makes that trick ending insulting to the viewer. This actual circumstance did not happen at the end of this movie, but something equally insulting did.As in other films, I would have been perfectly happy to give this one 5 stars, but when the writer/director tries to be too cute at the end, I've invariably been left having to knock it down a notch or two.A decent journey with an ultimately ridiculous destination leaves me no choice but to not recommend this movie.

Most people had already seen this film by the time it was awarded one of the 7 scariest horror films of 2008, but if not you most likely saw this movie genius on the Syfy channel which has been a gold standard for horror films for the past decade.Lake dead is not your average teenagers go on a road trip, messed up incest family tries to murder and rape them, American success story. In fact Lake dead has many plot twists that will leave you wanting more grandma-son heated make out scenes. One thing I did not like about the movie was the underling promotion of the Gieco caveman throughout this gripping horror film. From the RV breaking down to the raping of innocent teenage girls, Gieco clearly wanted another way to promote their insurance company.Lake Dead might not save you 15% on your car insurance but is worthy of a Syfy prime time showing.

Well, FOR A START, i have to say I've seen quite many horror films so far. and u know, i can tell it by first 30 minutes. when u cant see any dead bodies at the first 30 minutes in the movie, then, its a non-watchable film, dare! i say.this movie, lake dead, well, it should have been much more entertaining and gory. but it took a chance to be just normal as its title implies. JUST DEAD. the movie contains nudity and some gruesome scenes. but thats not all. I'm telling the method of death and the chase of the victim. also some thrilling moments that u can expect from horror movies. 5 girls. yeah...not that small number, but they are too plain. not likable...just i didn't like them. and the secret, huh...its worse than the girls. i cant get it...just a family tradition? gosh, its so typical and not believable. how many times i have to be astonished by that? once at wrong turn, twice at kindred!! if u just want some plain typical horror movies, whereupon its the gem that you've been searching for.my overall : 3/10
