Lake Dead may be derivative, but it’s one of the better efforts I’ve seen in the 8 Films to Die For range.
The premise sees Brielle Lake inherit a hotel from her recently deceased grandfather. When Brielle, her sisters and some friends go to check out the property to decide what to do with it, they discover that the relatives they had been told were long dead have been inbreeding for years and Brielle’s inbred mutant twin cannibal uncles are on the prowl.
Ok it sounds a bit ridiculous but it’s actually an okay timewaster. The young cast are all typically hot and do well considering the material. The film is gory with excellent practical effects work and blood aplenty.
OVERALL SUMMARY
Lake Dead is another entry into Backwoods territory but it was far more enjoyable than most of the low budget clag I’ve seen lately.
