Audience Member The "terror on a lake" creature feature can be wild, gory, and fun - like Piranha 3D. This is a poor, no budget imitation from Sharknado's studio. Terrible all around except for Christopher Lloyd's horrific death scene. That one moment was wild, gory, and fun.

They never really thought of as a family only relationship I believed was the boy and gurl. Other then that worst acting ever Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Lamprey? really? Pathetic. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Blood Lake Movie Review! The Asylum. We meet again. And this time, with more shit like always. The premise is thus: A sudden swarm of lampreys begin attacking and killing all the fish around Lake Charlevoix in Michigan. It is up your typical heroes to save the day. So, let's do a list of all the typical "horror" movie clichés we can find. Generic washed up actors? Check. Horrible CGI? Check. A script so over the top that even M. Night Shyamalan might turn it down? Check. The acting in this movie is so generic and robotic that it is baffling to see. The only "saving" grace is Christopher Lloyd; because his acting is so hypnotizingly over the top bad that is it kind of amazing to see. I mean, by god, a man we have seen in movies such as The Godfather and the Back to the Future franchise act in something as bad as Blood Lake is astounding. My faith in humanity is dwindling. The CGI in this movie is a joke; just like all Asylum movies. It is generic, lazy, and flat-out bad. It was baffling to see scenes where the CGI is everywhere; you can't tell what's faker, the acting or the lampreys. The special effects/makeup in the movie are horrendous. You know, for lamprey bites, you'd think someone would make a decent enough laceration "effect" (like in one scene actually). But no. They can't. Instead, they use ketchup/paint for their blood stains/bite marks that look like overgrown chicken pox. And it truly sucks because it is noticeable a mile away. Come on Asylum, at least try...if you're gonna do this kind of thing at least try. So there we go. That's Blood Lake. Save your time and go watch something that can actually be worth your time; like absolutely anything else. This movie gets a 1 out of 10. Piss-poor bad. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member "Blood Lake" is exactly what I thought it would be, a crazy maelstrom of CGI critters, melodrama, and garden variety of two-dimensional characters. The story contains the same material as any other b-movie, creature feature currently playing on several genre channels on cable. "Blood Lake" does have a cool blend of nostalgia mixed in. There were moments that reminded me of the old Roger Corman "Piranhas". James Cullen Bressack has a specific signature of story telling that was lacking with "Blood Lake", The raw, personal connection that I normally feel from Bresack's films was missing in this one. There was a lot of his dark humor and creativity present "Blood Lake", mostly with the kill scene shots. Not everything was CGI, there was the rubber lampreys, and I think I saw some practical blood effects. I don't really get into these CGI driven b-movies-I prefer the puppeteering and animatronic creature effects of old. Still I watched the whole thing so I can say I like "Blood Lake" better than "Sharknado"-I never even made it past the first 15 minutes of that one. "Blood Lake: Attack Of The Lampreys" has a lot of missing components to the story. The acting and scenes are clunky at times, the characters never feel real or believable. There is an obvious lack of chemistry between some of the cast that shows on screen. Still "Blood Lake" does have a fun, cheese fest thing happening that, in spite of the CGI, manages to liven up the film's mediocrity. Plus it was enough just to see Christopher Lloyd's rectal assault by the creatures, and Zack Ward is always nice to look at on screen.
