Review of Wicked Lake

Irredeemably bad. I found out that the great Al Jourgensen (Industrial music icon and frontman of Ministry) was the music supervisor for this movie and grudgingly decided it was worth a try. Ok, so the prospect of some boobage eased my reluctance, but in all honesty, the fact that Jourgensen's name was attached to this project is what gave me hope...terribly, terribly false hope, as it turns out. This movie is utter garbage. Its two selling points for me completely failed. (Only a couple instances of decent music-- all in the first 10 minutes-- and (surprise, surprise) maybe two of the four women that the film repeatedly tries to tell us are sexy actually are. The acting--and I hesitate to use that word--is the worst I've seen, and the writing is nothing short of unbearable. And if you're suspecting a hard-edged, but somewhat innocent teen-scream, Wild Things meets The Craft horror flick, then you're in for a shock. The content is at times very dark and very twisted. Ordinarilly I'd have no problem with this, but the movie is so depleted of any redeeming quality that it truly becomes objectionable and an empty excersice in foul taste. Just to be clear, I hated this movie. I hated it enough to turn it off with 40 minutes remaining in its run-time (something I RARELY do) without an ounce of hesitation. Please, please reader, do not waste a minute on this one.
