Review of Wicked Lake (2008) by Babak I — 28 Oct 2008

Wicked Lake is an utterly bizarre and over-the-top horror film that pretty much has the filmmakers throw the script in the trashcan, get really fucking high, and start taking everything. Other than the same production company, this film shares little resemblance to another film called Flesh for the Beast, which I couldn't help but be reminded of that film the entire time I was watching this.

Maybe it's because of the absolute bizarreness of this film, which revolves around 4 incredible hot chicks who are naked almost through the entire movie. When they are not making out wit each other, they are attracting the WORST possible group of men which consists of THREE separate groups of men that come to cause these girls trouble in their cabin in the woods.

For awhile, these women are tortured, nearly raped, and put through some emotional moments, but things change and the story takes a complete 180 in a different direction when the clock strikes midnight and these girls turn the tables.

The biggest names in this movie (to me anyways, Marc Senter, who does a completely different and bizarre role from his masterpiece performance in The Lost, plays an abused/slightly retarded (??) guy dressed in a 70's pink outfit, and Tim Thomerson, who plays a cop that talks too damn much about pointless stuff and is utterly wasted.

Angela Bettis (May, Toolbox Murders remake) makes a cameo that's pointless, but she's still fun to watch). This movie is either a crock of shit or pure, mad genius. I'm honestly not sure, however, I enjoyed the shit out of it (and from the looks of these other ratings, I'm alone on this one).
