The plot of "Blood Lake" is very simple:a group of partying teenagers is stalked and murdered by crazed killer in cowboy boots during their summertime holidays close to a large lake.There is water-skiing galore and extremely poor acting.The script is so bad that it was probably written by monkey.Long and tedious scenes which lead absolutely nowhere fill "Blood Lake".There are few gory killings including particularly nasty throat slitting,but the lack of suspense can't be forgiven.The film drags pointlessly to the point of extreme boredom.The killer is more laughable than menacing.So if you like hysterically bad slasher flicks like "Savage Water" or "Don't Go in the Woods" you can't go wrong with this amateurish "Friday the 13th" rip-off.3 killer cowboys out of 10.

OK so I can agree with the other comment about the lake scene, yes it is like 15 min long. Also In the beginning for the opening scene for the credits all they show is the trans am driving on the road for like 10 or 15 min. That is way too long for a opening act! I mean yeah we get the point that there is a trans am with kids going to a lake. The killings in the movie are a big disappointment, all it is, is a guy walking around in cowboy boots. The acting is horrible and the movie is a big waist of time. I am a HUGE fan of the 80's slasher films, especially Friday the 13th. They even filmed it with a home video, so the lighting was horrible and was very shaky. Well I'd say I have to give it at least a 1 out of 10, for being part of the 80's slasher genre for at least trying. I just hope that they don't ever make a movie like this again.

I admit that the reason I watched this was because my cousin, Tim was involved heavily in its creation. That being said, it makes one very thankful to know that this was just a stepping off point for him on his long career in film production.I agree with every commentator on here "Yes, it's horrid" and on so many levels. The true horror comes from the fact that you've given up over an hour of your life that you can't get back.Like I mentioned before, I had a relative that contributed a lot to this movie. Since I'd never known anyone in the "business" I was really impressed that someone I knew personally made a film. Well, as my friends and I sat around the VCR with high hopes and anticipation, they were quickly dashed. Time actually seemed to stand still as we watched and we actually started thinking "a rousing game of chess would be fun" it became blatantly clear that not only was this film a total waste of time, but it was pure crap as well. You always want to say something somewhat constructive about your relatives/friends (if you like them), but I was completely dumbfounded. What made this project even worse, was the fact that there was an entire fifteen-minute segment that was repeated in its entirety for no reason whatsoever.Tim has gone on to do some great and creative things since this came out. We all have stumbling blocks along the way, but I still want the hour or so of my life back...

Blood Lake (Quick Review) This particularly awful film revolves around a group of poor-acting kids in a cabin on the lake wherein somebody starts killing them. Good. I hated them all anyway. This film's title actually appears in the extremely harmless "Garfield" font. Yeah. That fat cartoon cat. I kid you not.Well, geez, where to begin? The acting is repugnant and the atmosphere is weak. The story is unoriginal and the killer is really lame. How lame? Well, Jason wears a hockey mask and carries a machete, Freddy has the glove with knives for fingers, Chucky is a demented serial-killer infested doll. This guy is a fat hick with cowboy boots and one leg of his pants is tucked into a boot--and the other isn't!! F*cking scary!! Well, roughly 25 minutes of this film are spent watching the kids water skiing on the lake. I'm serious, here. They might as well have flashed the logo for the brand of skis they were using across the screen. We literally spent about 10-15 minutes watching a few of them water ski, then finally they stop, head to the dock and then.... go out water skiing again!! They didn't spend this much f*cking time on the lake in "Piranha." The kills don't even look good and there is really no gore at all. This movie is just a waste of time. And afterwards, you'll be so depressed that you may see your life as pointless if this is what you waste your time doing. Watching total sh*t like this. You just might kill yourself.Recommended to: Absolutely no one should ever watch this film. There is nothing good here, nothing creative, nothing interesting, nothing new--except for the pants thing, and that's just retarded. Only if you're a real hardcore horror curiosity seeker--but if you really want a depressant, just try alcohol. 1/10 (I tend not to give zeros.) By the way, it's shot on video.(www.ResidentHazard.com)
