I believe in consequences!
Added 1/24/2009
This is Joan Severance's best-known role, and there is good reason why. My goodness, she is absolutely captivating! If ever there was a role where an actress could set the film on-fire, this is it. She has a mysterious, demure beauty that so intoxicates me. Wow!
Joan portrays a bored housewife who is having a sort of mid-life crisis. Her husband is a decent man, treats her well and she lives an upscale lifestyle. However, she finds herself "missing" something in her life. She starts to gravitate towards a penniless, buffed-up tree-trimmer (Billy Zane). Eventually, she must choose between the fantasy & reality.
To add to the dynamic, she suffered a traumatic sexual encounter as a teen that has left her scarred, confused and a bit twisted in the sexual sphere. During the film, she discovers that there is more to her erotic dimension than she once thought.
One of the most intriguing aspects of the plot is that the love-triangle differs from most. In the majority of the movies of this type, the 3rd party (in this case, Zane's character) is trying to steal the woman away from her husband. In this case, Zane's beneficent persona knows full-well that her husband will offer a much better life than what he is capable of. And, he has a remorse for possibly interfering with her relationship w/her son.
All in all, if (like me!) you're a fan of erotic movies which do not shy away from a surplus of nudity, then you can't do much better than this film! There is an obvious symbolic gesture in the name of the lake where she pursues her fantasy; in life, we will never be bereft of consequences for our actions.

One of the worst movies ever made. Don't waste your time. The acting was horrible, the story was nonsensical, the actions of the characters were completely unbelievable, and in the end there was nothing morally of socially redeeming about this movie.

This movie gets high marks for Joan Severance's incredibly hot performance. Although the plot is a little weak with some implausible elements, overall this is an enjoyable movie. If you like Joan (how can you not?) you will love "Lake Consequence". An erotic and sensual look into a woman's mind.

Lake Consequence is a classic Zalman King production-beautiful bodies, offbeat scenery, jazzy score, and little if any "plot" to speak of. If you enjoy this kind of film-and I do-then Lake Consequence is for you.

It didn't completely suck.

Well, Joan Severance is pretty hot, but Billy Zane couldn't act his way out of wet paper bag, and the script is ...slightly less than A List. But it does produce wood, which is probably part of the point, nyet? The other woman is also hot and somehow believable in her own shallowly defined role. It could been improved 2000 percent by the application of a writer and a Johnny Depp. give it fifty milligrams of Viagara.
