Crazy Lake (2016)

This place got its name because years back, hospitals and clinics used to toss their most troublesome, psychotic patients into the lake to drown. A group of friends visit the cottage for the weekend, which just so happens to be on Crazy Lake. Are there escaped patients still running around or is the place haunted, because they start to die, one by one.

The first five minutes has a couple in a tent being attacked by a Jason knock off with a machete. Wait, I’ve seen this film before and then for some reason the director has a few scenes that seem to come off as commercials for some beverage, with the quick editing, loud techno, reversing and fast forwarding etc. Don’t forget the shirtless guys and bikini clad girls. When you get over this crap you get to the meat of the story which is really bologna because there is no story.

The violence is kept to a minimum with a few stabs and throat cuts. Most of the characters are annoying at best. For some reason though I liked the ending which is why I didn’t give it a 2. Don’t bother swimming in this lake.
