A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

I honestly hate rating any movie the dreaded 1/10. In some respects, giving a 1/10 to a bad movie is taking the easy way out. I do my very best to find something positive to say. As hard as I try, I can't do that with Fever Lake. The only glimmer of anything remotely positive I can come up with is the marginally decent acting on the part of Lauren Parker. But she's not good enough to raise the rating. Overall, Fever Lake is a dull, lifeless, mess of a movie. I have a hard time understanding why it was even made. There is absolutely no reason to watch this disaster.So, what makes Fever Lake so bad? Acting – Horrible. Mario Lopez never could act and Corey Haim gives the laziest performance I think I've ever seen. Plot – Unoriginal. Gee, a group of college age kids heads off to a house on a lake – wonder what's going to happen? Direction – Uninspired. Ralph Portillo brings nothing new to the genre. Special effects – Lame. It's easy to see there was no budget for Fever Lake. Music – Annoying. Whoever wrote the score should be taken out and shot. Treatment of Native Americans – Insulting. Not only does a white dude play the part of Clear Springs, he does so in a ridiculously stereotypical stilted speech pattern. Sets and costuming – Unremarkable. The whole things looks like it might have been filmed in my neighbor's house with the clothes found in their closet. Characters – Stupid. These are some of the most idiotic people put on film. This list could go on and on. It's like shooting fish in a barrel. Again, as much as I hate doing it, I cannot in good conscience rate Fever Lake anything but a 1/10.

This is one of those terrible movies that is really good for the guys at RiffTrax to skewer. In my opinion there is still a lot of mileage to be gotten out of "teens in the woods encounter evil possessed killer" plots. But this thing is just such a mess! Other people have blamed the actors, the costumer, the director, the scriptwriter. I'll take a new approach and blame the editor. I see an outside possibility that the script was coherent, but that the editor rendered it into an incoherent mess.The truth is, after watching the riffed version five times, I still don't quite understand what was going on in the movie. The "rules" of fantasy and horror don't need to make real-world sense, but these rules have to be explained clearly, and then stuck to, and make internal sense. The filmmakers failed at all this.There is a lot to laugh at here. The wolf attack that did not include a wolf, the terrible acting of the "novelist," the assumption that college students play a lot of hide and seek and truth or dare still, the non- Indian, and everyone mispronouncing the word "wolf."Poor Corey Haim. Being molested as a kid actor by producers, his drug addiction, and this movie. There must be a special place in the afterlife for someone who suffered that much.

fever isa movie which was on TV the other night at about 3am. After watching this unsuspenseful movie I guessed at what rating it would get. This movie could have been good as the story in general is OK. The actors lines are cheesy and stupid. They make you feel like laughing. Also the makeup could have been a lot better as it looks fake. In one of the scenes their is an attack by a wolf and I don't know if you weren't supposed to see the wolf or what. The actiong was poor as well as they should have casted a real native American instead of a poor look alike. Although I believe this movie to be very poor and the acting to be acceptable but I kinda like it in a strange way. Thats why I feel it could have been made a lot better with a much bigger budget.

This film, in addition to being filmed in Lake Mary, Wisconsin was also filmed at Carthage College in Kenosha, WI. At the time they filmed this I was the student center manager there and basically acted as property manager.In the credits near the end are two names "special thanks to" and I'm one of them.I think the funniest thing about this film was that it came out shortly after ShowGirl did...and when I asked Mario Lopez what he thought about the her in that film he just alluded to her looks and that she's as dumb as a box of rocks...but hot! Scenes were filmed all around the campus, including in the gymnasium, locker room, track and cafeteria. One specific scene is outdoors from the cafeteria on a deck that, in reality, is never used for anything by the students in general. I suggested they use that with a nice view over Lake Michigan and they took me up on it since they needed a scene where Corey walks up on it.The track scene filming was hilarious in that everybody there was faster than Corey was in running. They yelled at anyone who even came close to keeping up with him to fall back and make it look like that little guy could actually keep up and win. Interesting angles they take on that to make him look taller than he is....he's really short. I was in the background also in the stands as they ran buy...I can only see my legs in the shot as they run by them. It took all day just to film that short segment and the one leading up to it with people walking down a hill toward a fence near the track.There was supposed to be a nude shower scene, but that must have ended up on the cutting room floor. They were pretty tight as far as letting anyone in to the locker room when filming that one...other than that you could walk up anywhere they were shooting it very easily. The director was a decent guy too...really down-to-earth.Also, I've never realized Corey was such a "yes man", always seeming to really kiss up to the director like if he didn't, he'd get fired or something. "Yes, sir", "right away, sir"...really formal and brown-noser like. Maybe that's why he is mostly in straight-to-video flicks like this...which is was the intent was. This was to be released only in Europe where he has a bigger fan base, and was straight to video (if you can even find that) in the US.I've seen a lot worse movies than this one, and do wish sometime that Corey would start to act his age and get into another real movie. Even when this one was just released, it was next to impossible to find it. I watched it once...that was enough.
