Overrated

brilliant actors, brilliant editing

This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.

Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

the acting was not so great. Cheaply made movie, special effects were rather funny.By the middle of the movie had to start fast forwarding as it felt boring and got annoying.Many horror movies tend to have really silly moments, and it's usually something so simple, like why would you light a candle in order to look through the window? or would you be lighting a candle rather than holding the knife like crazy if you were really scared? By the time she actually did it you could travel to Mexico and back.Overall not convincing at all.

You know you're in trouble when it looks like the camera is a badly hand held HD cam, then you see the acting.. This was an absolutely terrible TV movie (I assume, maybe home produced). It was soo long too!I'm not sure why there are so many of these awful films about now, or why they're so highly rated on IMDb. 5.3??? Really?A quite bizarre home camera filmed 'Scooby Doo' style story about an archaeologist who died and his soul is trapped in a cut-price 'Hellraiser' dimension due to an ancient Egyptian 'locket' (not amulet - and it looks ridiculous) and title girl has to save him.What were the neighbour and niece for? Why was it called Lake Eerie? How did the archaeologist's mind survive apparent years of being caught and killed for years on a daily basis with no apparent ill effect? Why was the main character so stupid? Ultimately, what was the point of it all?

Well, the movie looks like one of those Sy-fy made for TV movie. The dialogue is not that well written, the special effect is cheap. It does have some strong feminist element in it though. Independent, single woman who purchase a big house...wonder where she got her money from. And that woman is saving the man trapped in the alternate purgatory-like dimension. On top of it, there was a scene where the female demon overpower and torture a male victim and supposedly it's for eternity too. There are also some lesbian scenes on top of it - Well, lesbian scenes is not all that uncommon in today's movies, but combine with those? All in all, it's a movie made for feminist, and got such a high rating because of feminist be propping the rating up. Otherwise, it's really just another mediocre Sy-fy-ish movie, not even the good ones at it neither.

If a movie is bad, I just shrug it off and go about my day. However, Lake Eerie is a case all its own — I felt cheated and violated after devoting almost 2 hours of my time watching it.Everything from the actors, dialogue, photography, makeup to soundtrack sucks. The plot is also abysmal, complete with really unnecessary lesbian kissing and butt and breast exposures.I don't get why it has a 5.6 star rating on IMDb — I have seen lots of terrible, terrible movies that are way better than Lake Eerie.Oh, Lance Henriksen who is a great actor IMHO is in Lake Eerie. However, his presence did not give any sparkle to Lake Eerie. That's how bad this movie is.
