Admirable film.

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

There were two reasons for why I opted to sit down to watch "Lake Eerie". The first reason is, of course, my love and fascination with the horror genre. And the second reason was because iconic actor Lance Henriksen starred in it.But to my horror, this movie turned out to be unfathomably slow paced and quite boring, to be perfectly honest. And it was quite a struggle to remain seated and actually follow the movie through to the end. I did manage to do so, but were quite tempted to give up a couple of times along the way.The storyline in "Lake Eerie" wasn't particularly appealing in any sense, and it seemed like a rather monotone script that didn't really translate well onto the screen. And it was further cemented by having one-dimensional characters that were frightfully devoid of any kind of personalities to make you care.For a horror movie, "Lake Eerie" was disturbingly devoid of anything even remotely scary or reminiscent of anything thrilling to make your heart pump faster. The movie just settled into an almost hypnotic slow pace and never managed to get out of that pace.As far as the acting went in "Lake Eerie", then I will say that the cast were doing fair enough jobs with the limitations imposed on them through an inadequate script. And not even Lance Henriksen could manage to lift up the movie with his performance.This is the type of movie that you will watch once, and I doubt that you will ever make a second attempt of watching it again. "Lake Eerie" came and went without leaving any lasting impressions with the audience, nor did it manage to make any kind of dent in the horror genre.

You know you're in trouble when it looks like the camera is a badly hand held HD cam, then you see the acting.. This was an absolutely terrible TV movie (I assume, maybe home produced). It was soo long too!I'm not sure why there are so many of these awful films about now, or why they're so highly rated on IMDb. 5.3??? Really?A quite bizarre home camera filmed 'Scooby Doo' style story about an archaeologist who died and his soul is trapped in a cut-price 'Hellraiser' dimension due to an ancient Egyptian 'locket' (not amulet - and it looks ridiculous) and title girl has to save him.What were the neighbour and niece for? Why was it called Lake Eerie? How did the archaeologist's mind survive apparent years of being caught and killed for years on a daily basis with no apparent ill effect? Why was the main character so stupid? Ultimately, what was the point of it all?

This movie's greatest strength is its ability to build tension and not rely on jump scares. It really captures the feeling of what it's like being alone in a creepy house (my family has an old house and I have been there alone, even the little things freaked me out.) I appreciate the shower scene not having blood coming out of the shower head, that has been done to death and I was getting worried when the scene began. Dirty, mucky lake water was a clever twist to an old horror trope. Nicely done.Bonus point for shooting the film using the Great Lakes. The Great Lakes are amazing and don't get enough love in movies! I would really love a Put in Bay movie

I thought this had very similar atmosphere to horror films of the 70s and 80s, but at the same time doesn't feel retro. The house they used for filming looks amazing, it completely becomes a character itself.I will say that after my first viewing at the Horror Hound film festival I liked it but didn't love it. But for the next few days after seeing it, I couldn't stop thinking about it, it just stuck with me. So I bought it once it came out on VOD and I have to say it gets better with repeat viewings. There is quite a bit of depth to the story. It has become one of my favorite modern horror films, low budget that is.8/10
