Really Surprised!

Great Film overall

Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

The basic formula for the home break-in film is bad guys break-in and terrorize the women. Then the victims turn the tables. This is the basic formula except the women are witches with certain supernatural powers at midnight during the full moon. The problem is that it disobeyed the successful sub-formula. The nude scenes should start with the break-in. In this case there were ample nude scenes before the women are terrorized and none during the event.The movie features two play modes, one with a special commentary, and by "special" they mean ride the short bus special. The DVD also includes a music CD. The sound track was better than most, but the movie was so bad, it was wasted. Michael Esparza plays Ray, the role normally assumed by David Hess in the classic home break-in movies. He did an exceptionally lousy job as the lead bad guy. What was with the weak cop subplot?While there was a bunch of nudity, it wasn't "full frontal" as the cameras were careful to avoid that area, almost to the comical point as an Austin Powers film. If you like topless, blood, "brain sucking with a straw," bad acting, bad plot with a decent sound track, and a muscle machine you got it.F-bomb, explicit sexual talk, sex, nudity.

Four young, well-endowed hotties rent a cabin in Hicksville, USA where they've been followed by a group of morons consisting of an ultra- feminine art student, a mentally challenged (?) pervert, a geriatric war veteran in a wheelchair, and their sadistic ringleader. Also hot on the girls' tails are a couple of greasy, dirty, toothless country bumpkins whose most impassioned lines are, "God damned city bitches!" Let me not forget to mention two detectives who are pursuing the damsels in distress. Only they're not damsels in distress. At the stroke of midnight, they transform into bloodthirsty demons - bloodthirsty LESBIAN demons.This is... one of the worst I have ever seen and I have watched some major stinkers. Unfortunately, not even all of the T&A could save Wicked Lake. The tone of the film is constantly changing and confusing for the viewer. Am I supposed to laugh? Is this character to be taken seriously? Much of the movie looks like it was shot with a camcorder, the dialog made my ears numb, and the acting is deplorable. I live for B-movie horror and low-budget amateur efforts so I've made it a habit to overlook sub-par acting but, in this case, it's so bad that it's unforgivable. Even worse, when they're not 'acting', they're zoning off, unresponsive to anything that's happening with the rest of the characters. It's a complete mess.I'm irritated that I wasted 95 minutes of my life on this cinematic piece of excrement.

I came across this flick at the local shop and picked it up due the reason that Jourgensen of Ministry was involved in this flick for making the score. But don't think to get some industrial sound. On the other hand on the end credits it was stated as dedicated to Paul Raven. Raven I have met in the 90's backstage with his band Killing Joke. Sadly the bass player died a heart attack in 2007. But back to the flick.Wicked Lake is a weird flick to review because it has something to do with horror and on the other hand it has a bit of comedy and a lot of nudity. People who are raised in the nineties surely will remember The Craft (1996). With the new era of horror due Scream (1996) producers were searching were they could pick up some money, the answer was simple, teenagers. So with The Craft the decided to give the boys some sexy girls going into a coven. The Craft worked out fine but it was low on gore and didn't had any nudity in it so Little Witches came out the same year. That flick had a bit of nudity but was also low on gore. Wicked Lake, I see that as a follow-up to previous flicks. The flick starts of immediately with some jugg shots so you know what you could expect. The story itself isn't original but overall the flick takes too long before things go wrong. There's a lot of gratuitous nudity to keep you attracted but also you have to wait until the last part to see some gory shots. The acting of some was a bit mediocre and the way the reflect the rednecks was exaggerated. Maybe it was supposed to be a joke but for me it didn't work. The guy hanging on the door do say some funny things but I couldn't laugh with it. The story itself is a bit of a revenge movie. The 4 girls going to a cabin were they are confronted with some guys who want to have sexual pleasures with the girls. But the girls are waiting until midnight because they have supernatural powers. On the aspect of the red stuff, it flows but as I said you really have to wait until the last part. Some slaying are indeed a bit gory but I guess most people (read guys) will watch it to see some scantily clad girls. I noticed Carlee Baker (Mary) who went further to feature in The Women (2011). And then you see how small the world is, Angela Bettis was in The Women too. Mike McKee (Cyrus) did appear in May (2002) together with Bettis. So I guess it's a bit of all friends coming together. To cut the crap, it's a slow and sometimes boring flick with some exaggerated scene's and at the end the gory shots but overall, it's also one for the guys to see some girls naked in lesbian affairs and some slow motion shots, Tossers will be joining this!Gore 2/5 Nudity 3/5 Effects 3/5 Story 3/5 Comedy 0,5/5

Wicked Lake is frankly just a horrible and boring movie. The cast of young women is attractive but the characters are too shallow to care about and the so-called psychopaths are just stupid. i truly hate this film and I hope that there is never a sequel to it. very boring junk with a slick poster and DVD cover to lure in audiences. such a waste of time. i can't believe how bad it turned out to be. stay far away from this movie!!!! also there is a scene where a feminine dude literally cries (while running) at the camera for five whole minutes and you my mouth was open the whole time in shock. ughhhh!!!!!!Score: 0.5/10
