God damn it. Now, I loved Bloody Murder, because I thought it was so bad I pissed myself laughing at it, but Fever Lake (another film by Ralph Portillo - producer and director of Bloody Murder) is so horrendously bad that it can't even be laughed at. It stars Corey Haim (ahem), that Mario Lopez dick from "Saved By The Bell" (and he's still trying to be a teenager? That's an ooooold show), and it also has plenty of ugly chicks.

(POSSIBLE SPOILERS, BUT I THINK YOU HAVE SERIOUS ISSUES IF ME WASTING THIS MOVIE'S PLOT PISSES YOU OFF)

As always, just my luck with movies, the pretty chick dies (although I was confused about how she dies until I watched it a couple of times. She's meant to be killed by a wolf, but all you see is her running and falling, then her face screaming, then STOCK FOOTAGE of a wolf in a zoo (!) then her face screaming again, only with blood on it). There's every stereotype you can think of: the sherrif who thinks it's all bullshit, the old guy who works in the bait shop that tells the story, and: get this: a Native American called 'Clear Springs'. What in the blue fuck is that all about?

The movie opens at a big scary house (surprise surprise), and a guy comes in and kicks this woman's ass while her son hides in the attic. The guy sees the kid in the attic and his eyes glow green, then the kid's eyes glow green. This is never explained, and the whole movie's pretty much about this evil in the middle of Fever Lake (that just looks as if there's someone lying under it and blowing bubbles), which takes over people and shit.

(SPOILERS END... LIKE YOU SHOULD CARE)

If I ever got the choice of either watching Fever Lake again, or sliding down a razor-blade into a vat of vinegar and lemon juice, then I would.... watch the movie. I'm not stupid.
However, it WOULD be the most boring 90 minutes of my life.

Useless trivia: the movie that the teens watch in "Bloody Murder" is actually a scene from "Terror Lake". Although, they look scared while they're watching it, so it must have been added later. Or maybe they WERE watching it and they were scared because they realised they'd accidentally turned up at Camp Dumbass instead.

DON'T! For the love of Freddy, DO NOT GET THIS MOVIE! Other than Mangler 2 this is the worst waste of celluloid on the face of the earth! Notice that Scully actually had to pause to consider his options. And this is a man who sat through countless viewings og Bloody Murder! I killed more brain cells watching this 90min. crap-fest than I did trying to see if was possible to have a blood-alcohol content of 1.00 at my 21st. b-day!

This film was awful ! It looks like a made - for - tv film, too.
I did not understand what happened, it was so
confusing.
The end was good because of the gory shot.
The bodycount is very weak and the characters were annoying.
