Marketing people are laughing and counting their cash from idiots like us
Added 6/8/2008
Ghost Lake looks like a movie put together by a couple of high school students. Bad acting, bad special effects, stupid dialog and the list goes on and on. Dont become a victim of dvd marketing people. Ignore the cover and read the reviews!

Horrible Acting!
Added 8/7/2007
I've seen better acting at my son's elementary schools' plays! This movie totally blew! And as for "special effects"? If a melted wax figurine is your idea of scary, then you're about as lame as this movie. I wouldn't waste 25 cents on this waste of a DVD let alone 22 bucks! Thankfully I wasted no money on this as I rented it from our library.

Ghost Lake...or, How to spend a $200 movie making budget.

I'm still not really sure what this movie was about.. I thought it was going to be a 'B' science fiction movie when it began and the blonde tramp got out of her dress to have sex in a car. I figured she was obviously a minor character who was going to be served up as fodder for whatever bad thing was lurking later in the movie. She was someone who obviously the audience could feel would make the world better by getting ravaged by some evil force. It turned out that this slut was actually the main character who we were supposed to sympathize with and cheer for....OH oh, this was a bad sign!!! The actress who played this plum role was Tatum Adair (apparently even Tara Reid has her standards). The plot has something to do with dead people in a lake who need to fill a quota to either ease their pain, end the curse or put the curse on to some other unsuspecting folk..something like that anyway. I gave this movie 2 stars because I made it all the way through without shutting it off and did not feel totally ripped off by watching it. The movie wasn't great...not even good but it was somewhat diverting. As for special effects...Well, I think most people could do better in their basement with a video camera, some fishing line, a few plastic models and a nylon stocking....Think about it. Anyway, don't buy this piece of work, but if you don't mind some mind numbing special effects and some really bad acting, it is kind of fun...One more thing. Another reviewer stated that the child actress who played the little kid is perhaps the worst child actress of all time.. Perhaps is being kind..That kid was horrible.

Great cover!

That being said, there is only one other thing of note to credit this movie with. It contains one of the fastest "off with the dress" in history. The door to the backseat of the car had hardly closed when, "whoop!", up and over the head it came and out they bounced!! It was all downhill from there, however, with a complicated and ridiculous "plot" (I'm still confused), laughable special effects, and poor acting. I thought the little girl who played the twins was cute, however, but can you believe she was actually reading her lines from a cue card in certain scenes?

THINGS GOING AGAINST THIS MOVIE:
1. Gregory Lee Kenyon who plays the sheriff was in the even worse DEMONICUS.
2. Jay Woelfel practically did EVERYTHING in this movie: wrote, directed, did the score, edited, casted, etc.
3. Aforementioned Kenyon was also credited as "grips" in the final credits.
4. The movie's plot is so engimatic it doesn't make sense.
5. Timothy Prindle DOES look a lot like Lorenzo Lamas, but can't act nearly as good, which is bad because Lorenzo's not very good anyway.
6. Poor Azure Sky Decker (as the twin girls) is probably the worst child actress I've seen.
7. The meager special effects are pretty bad even for a low budget movie.
8. It's just not scary and it's too long.
Not worth it.
