I can't believe how high the rating for this dreck is on this site, because no sensible viewer would claim this is a well made film. The acting is terrible, the dialogue is terrible, and the story is underdeveloped, among other failings. I expected little from this, going into it, and I got even less. Ms Majors, I do hope you've taken some writing and acting classes since this was made.

There were two reasons for why I opted to sit down to watch "Lake Eerie". The first reason is, of course, my love and fascination with the horror genre. And the second reason was because iconic actor Lance Henriksen starred in it.But to my horror, this movie turned out to be unfathomably slow paced and quite boring, to be perfectly honest. And it was quite a struggle to remain seated and actually follow the movie through to the end. I did manage to do so, but were quite tempted to give up a couple of times along the way.The storyline in "Lake Eerie" wasn't particularly appealing in any sense, and it seemed like a rather monotone script that didn't really translate well onto the screen. And it was further cemented by having one-dimensional characters that were frightfully devoid of any kind of personalities to make you care.For a horror movie, "Lake Eerie" was disturbingly devoid of anything even remotely scary or reminiscent of anything thrilling to make your heart pump faster. The movie just settled into an almost hypnotic slow pace and never managed to get out of that pace.As far as the acting went in "Lake Eerie", then I will say that the cast were doing fair enough jobs with the limitations imposed on them through an inadequate script. And not even Lance Henriksen could manage to lift up the movie with his performance.This is the type of movie that you will watch once, and I doubt that you will ever make a second attempt of watching it again. "Lake Eerie" came and went without leaving any lasting impressions with the audience, nor did it manage to make any kind of dent in the horror genre.

Sad to see that a flick containing Lance Henriksen and Betsy Baker is total crap. i admit it, I was fooled by seeing their names taking me back to Aliens (1986) with Lance and The Evil Dead (1981) with Betsy.This flick clocking in over 90 minutes is one big yawn. It's all about talking and nothing happening. It's only the last 10 minutes that the horror comes in and even that is ridiculous. Most of the horror is not shown or done off-camera. And don't watch it for your thespians, they are maybe 5 minutes in this crappy flick.The poster looked promising, sadly the flick wasn't. And people bragging give independent flicks a change. I do, i'm in the scene over 30 years so I have seen it all by now. Sorry, this doesn't offer one thing to notice. Gore 0/5 Nudity 0,5/5 Effects 0/5 Story 0/5 Comedy 0/5

This movie's greatest strength is its ability to build tension and not rely on jump scares. It really captures the feeling of what it's like being alone in a creepy house (my family has an old house and I have been there alone, even the little things freaked me out.) I appreciate the shower scene not having blood coming out of the shower head, that has been done to death and I was getting worried when the scene began. Dirty, mucky lake water was a clever twist to an old horror trope. Nicely done.Bonus point for shooting the film using the Great Lakes. The Great Lakes are amazing and don't get enough love in movies! I would really love a Put in Bay movie
