Dead Man's Lake

About This Movie

So, 'Dead Man's Lake' is this interesting nod to the slasher era of the '80s, you know? It’s got that gritty atmosphere that really pulls you in. The pacing feels deliberate, almost like it's teasing out the tension. The practical effects are a standout—much of it is done in camera, which gives it that raw edge. Performances are solid; they evoke that classic horror vibe without overdoing it. And while the director's not a big name, Ben Franklin really captures the spirit of the genre. You can tell there’s a love for the craft here. It’s not groundbreaking, but it hits all the right notes for fans of that period.
