Konterr Brilliant and touching
Sexyloutak Absolutely the worst movie.
Senteur As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.
PiraBit if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.
jonathancolley-885-704860 Just seen this movie on Pick TV channel.Well, I was entertained but just not in the way that was intended... Or was it?Honestly, everything about this movie is atrocious. Literally EVERYTHING.But despite that, I watched the whole thing. Why? Because I can only assume it was filmed on a shoestring budget and presumably without a script or any any idea about continuity or without considering if the cast could act - everyone could have a go at acting. Lovely. They even went to the trouble of hiring people with zero sense of balance as at every opportunity people would run up to water or places in general with the Lampreys in the vicinity and just fall over.Honestly I don't want to go into detail as it's not really worth the effort but if you like awful movies which waste an hour and a half of your life then this is worth a go.
Isaac Wolter A great comedy feature that was filmed excellently and is even better when watched in 3-D. To add 3-D capability, go out to lake Michigan and swim into the lake a bit and become bait. Its really grand, trust me. The movie was all and all good. It was hilarious when the weed whacker whacked up all those dang lamprey fools! It was stupendous. Being from the Gambia it cost me a great deal to get to Michigan to see it in 3-D, but it was completely worth it. I sincerely suggest that every human goa nd enjoy this movie. My dog and my son really enjoyed it, the wife not as much as she was attacked by lampreys at the age of 4, but the rest of us loved it. I loved the movie. A great movie, would recommend for young children and in 3-D. Enjoy away my Blood Suckers.
gilligan1965 Although new, this movie reminds me so much of those drive-in B-horror movies we kids loved in the 1980s. It has all the elements -*so-so effects; *an unscrupulous guy in charge; *heroes trying to quell the problem; *hot bimbos...one doesn't listen to her parents and jeopardizes her family, and, goes way out of her way to be an idiot every chance she gets; the other is only concerned about sex; *a cool little kid who's into exotic creatures; *etc.This isn't a great movie, in fact, it's kinda silly...but, it's enjoyable. In the 1980s, I remember us kids loving silly movies our parents brushed aside..."Inframan;" "The Three Fantastic Supermen;" "Orgy of the Vampires;" etc. NOW...here we are as parents ourselves disliking the silly horror movies our kids now love, as we once loved!?!? We've become our own parents and didn't even realize it! Where's your will to be weird?In this movie, everyone must have secretly loved when the greedy and self-absorbed mayor got it in the ass (much pun intended). Just like the mayor in "Jaws" who was all too eager to get swimming tourists killed just to make a buck. Politicians being true to their agenda and nature, not listening to experts, and, not caring about people.However, this movie gives a lot of facts -*some lamprey species will attack humans when starving; *lamprey hurt many-a-fisherman's livelihood; *some lamprey are a delicacy - the mayor had a point there - they could have become the lamprey capital of the world, over Spain, Portugal, France, and, Finland; *lamprey have no natural predators; *lamprey cannot survive in hot tropical waters(there are no lamprey in hot tropical areas)- Shannon proved that with hot fire :D; *lamprey don't react well to weed-whackers; *like sharks, lamprey stay away from areas where they smell their own dead; *like animals, civilized people riot in times of crisis and seek escape even if it means trampling over others.Not a great movie, but, it wasn't terrible. In 1982...this would have been a drive-in classic! The kind of movie you'd bring your new girlfriend to for an extra reason for her to snuggle closely in the car! :)First horror movie to air on "Animal Planet." Probably because many lamprey 'facts' went along with it!?!? If you don't have an open mind, horror movies(and, fantasy movies) can never work.I give this movie a solid "6" Stars because it reminds me of my childhood and teen years at the "drive-in"(RIP); and, because I simply like it! :)
TheLittleSongbird As awful as Blood Lake: Attack of the Killer Lampreys is, I didn't think it was entirely without redeeming values. Christopher Lloyd(often has been one of the better aspects of bad movies, and he's had a fair share of those) is immensely fun to watch, Ciara Hanna is very sassy and actually seems to give a toss about the situation and there are some nicely composed shots here and there. However, the CGI effects are suspect at best and for me the lampreys weren't enough of a threat, we learn absolutely nothing about them, where they come from and why they're attacking and their attacks are not well executed at all. Instead they are very repetitive and come across as silly and lacking in variety, relying on silliness and excessive gore rather than genuine tension and suspense. The most inventive the attacks get is that facial expression freeze frame when one gets impaled, which did raise a good laugh. The music could and should have been used much less and plays too much of an over-dramatic dirge. The script is very flimsy, it's corny and underwritten and never allows us to identify with the characters or care about the situation. Suspense levels are next to non-existent, the movie is often too stupid and repetitive to be fun and there are exposition and melodrama parts that really plod and come across as ham-fisted. The story is very erratically paced, mostly on the dull end when ranked on the pacing spectrum, with absolutely no surprises, while not one single character is likable. Apart from Lloyd and Hanna, the acting- from people who have actually shown some degree of acting talent- is not very good. Most of them seemed oblivious to their situation and come across as annoying and charisma-free. Shannen Doherty also looks tired and acts it too. Overall, apart from a few shots, Lloyd and Hanna(and to some extent the freeze frame) Blod Lake: Attack of the Killer Lampreys is a mess. 2/10 Bethany Cox
