PodBill Just what I expected

Catangro After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.

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

Deanna There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

jonathancolley-885-704860 Just seen this movie on Pick TV channel.Well, I was entertained but just not in the way that was intended... Or was it?Honestly, everything about this movie is atrocious. Literally EVERYTHING.But despite that, I watched the whole thing. Why? Because I can only assume it was filmed on a shoestring budget and presumably without a script or any any idea about continuity or without considering if the cast could act - everyone could have a go at acting. Lovely. They even went to the trouble of hiring people with zero sense of balance as at every opportunity people would run up to water or places in general with the Lampreys in the vicinity and just fall over.Honestly I don't want to go into detail as it's not really worth the effort but if you like awful movies which waste an hour and a half of your life then this is worth a go.

Maya Matlynn If 0 were possible id rate it that. The CGI is absolute garbage and the only scar thing about it was that an amazing actress such as Shannen Doherty wasted her time on this sh*t when she could've been off trying to bring back Chamred. I do not and never will understand how this movies flame was provided enough oxygen to burn and live

Paul Magne Haakonsen This movie is listed as a horror movie here on IMDb. Seriously? There is nothing scary about this movie unless you are a child perhaps. WHen that is said, I will say that "Blood Lake: Attack of the Killer Lampreys" is actually enjoyable enough for what it turned out to be."Blood Lake: Attack of the Killer Lampreys" is a predictable movie and it follows a very mainstream and often used recipe for making a creature feature. However it does have some very unlikely killer creatures; lampreys.The storyline is so predictable that even a blind man could see what's coming next. But still, it is just one of those guilty pleasures. You know, a movie so generic that it is actually still fun.The lampreys were nicely enough animated most of the time, but a couple of lampreys being able to kill a full-grown adult in mere seconds? Nah, I don't buy into that at all.The two names to lure in the audience are of course Shannen Doherty and Christopher Lloyd, and they were not even the leading stars. The most memorable scene in "Blood Lake: Attack of the Killer Lampreys" was the death scene of the mayor, which just happens to be played by Christopher Lloyd, or perhaps even the scene with the screaming lampreys in the burn scene.Well, you know what you are essentially in for when sitting down to watch a movie like this, and "Blood Lake: Attack of the Killer Lampreys" doesn't fail to deliver. It is by every possible manner a mediocre killer creature feature.

Coventry Knowing (and dreading…) the The Asylum production studios, it has to be said immediately that "Blood Lake: etc…" is a lot less rubbishy then their usual work. By no means should you expect a great movie, obviously, but at least this isn't as insultingly retarded and preposterous as for example - oh I don't know - "Sharknado" or "Mega Piranha". The main reasons why this film is more or less a success, I presume, are the original choice of animal species (so original even that Animal Planet aired the film) and the fact that it's largely an old-fashioned type of 'creature feature horror flick in terms of plot, characters and structure. Haters could of course quote this last argument to claim that "Blood Lake" is very clichéd and derivative, but I firmly believe that ALL animal attack movies are fundamentally a rip-off of the almighty "Jaws". Although filmed in sunny California, the events supposedly takes place in a little lake town in the state of Michigan. They struggle with a lamprey infestation, and after the aggressive eel-like monsters devoured all the fish in the lakes, they break through the hydraulic turbines and into the city's water reservoir. The simple plot easily allows all the familiar clichés to be present. There's the obnoxious mayor who severely underestimates the dangerous situation and absolutely wants to avoid at all costs that his town gets negatively portrayed in the media, the hero's disobedient teenage daughter who flees from her bedroom and ends up in peril and the chaotic beach attacks. It's all very enjoyable since director James Cullen Bressack assures there is sufficient action and not too much idiocy. The Asylum has the bad habit of over-sizing their monsters, but the lampreys luckily remain their natural modest size. The film stars a few familiar faces, most notably Christopher Lloyd as the outrageous mayor and Shannen Doherty as the concerned family mother. Shannen got a little chubby in the face, but hey, she's a woman over forty now and no longer the rebellious Breda from "Beverly Hills 90210".
