Wicked Lake

About This Movie

Wicked Lake is one of those films that manages to carve out its own niche in the horror-thriller landscape. It plays with this tense atmosphere, where the anticipation builds like a coiled spring. The pacing has a rhythm that fluctuates nicely between moments of raw brutality and eerie quiet, making it unsettling and engaging. Those practical effects? They have a gritty, visceral quality that really pulls you into the madness. The performances are a mixed bag, but they lean into the absurdity, which oddly enhances the experience. It’s this twist on the predator-prey dynamic that keeps things interesting, especially how it flips expectations right at midnight. Definitely worth a watch if you're into the bizarre undercurrents of horror cinema.
