I came across this flick at the local shop and picked it up due the reason that Jourgensen of Ministry was involved in this flick for making the score. But don't think to get some industrial sound. On the other hand on the end credits it was stated as dedicated to Paul Raven. Raven I have met in the 90's backstage with his band Killing Joke. Sadly the bass player died a heart attack in 2007. But back to the flick.
Wicked Lake is a weird flick to review because it has something to do with horror and on the other hand it has a bit of comedy and a lot of nudity. People who are raised in the nineties surely will remember The Craft (1996). With the new era of horror due Scream (1996) producers were searching were they could pick up some money, the answer was simple, teenagers. So with The Craft the decided to give the boys some sexy girls going into a coven. The Craft worked out fine but it was low on gore and didn't had any nudity in it so Little Witches came out the same year. That flick had a bit of nudity but was also low on gore. Wicked Lake, I see that as a follow-up to previous flicks.
The flick starts of immediately with some jugg shots so you know what you could expect. The story itself isn't original but overall the flick takes too long before things go wrong. There's a lot of gratuitous nudity to keep you attracted but also you have to wait until the last part to see some gory shots. The acting of some was a bit mediocre and the way the reflect the rednecks was exaggerated. Maybe it was supposed to be a joke but for me it didn't work. The guy hanging on the door do say some funny things but I couldn't laugh with it. The story itself is a bit of a revenge movie. The 4 girls going to a cabin were they are confronted with some guys who want to have sexual pleasures with the girls. But the girls are waiting until midnight because they have supernatural powers.
On the aspect of the red stuff, it flows but as I said you really have to wait until the last part. Some slaying are indeed a bit gory but I guess most people (read guys) will watch it to see some scantily clad girls. I noticed Carlee Baker (Mary) who went further to feature in The Women (2011). And then you see how small the world is, Angela Bettis was in The Women too. Mike McKee (Cyrus) did appear in May (2002) together with Bettis. So I guess it's a bit of all friends coming together.
To cut the crap, it's a slow and sometimes boring flick with some exaggerated scene's and at the end the gory shots but overall, it's also one for the guys to see some girls naked in lesbian affairs and some slow motion shots, Tossers will be joining this!
