Chirphymium It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

Lollivan It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Verity Robins Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Michael Ledo "Community, Sexuality , Stability," The film starts off like an adult film with two super bodies go at it (Derek Sturgeon + Lucretia Lynn) with full frontal on both. Then they mindlessly walk into the lake until they are gone. The scene changes to two couples (1 couple plus gay guy plus extra eye candy) who do the cabin the woods thing by the lake which takes control of them...more sex, less nudity.The movie had to stretch out scenes, repeating them in the final scene in order to get the length. This may have been better as a short. The dialogue was okay, maybe slightly above par for a "B" horror.Theme wise we are looking at a Hobbesian vision in the form of a Leviathan willing to create a Utopian world where one sacrifices freedom for Utopia. Or it could be horror soft core.Guide: F-word, sex, MFF, MM, bestiality? FF nudity 7 stars for the nudity

Paul Magne Haakonsen It was the synopsis of the movie and the fact that it was labeled as a horror movie that initially caught my attention. It seemed like the movie could have potential to be something interesting. It turned out that the keywords here were "could have"..."Harvest Lake" turned out to be a sleazefest dressed in a horror wrapping. There was so much pointless nudity and focus on sex acts that the movie was almost a softcore porn flick. It was just too much, and director and writer Scott Schirmer could have opted for a much more neutral approach and a more subtle sexual approach, which would have proved for a much more adequate movie.The acting in the movie was good, especially taking into consideration that the acting talents had very little to work with in terms of script and story.The storyline, however, was every bit as mundane as it was generic and predictable. Actually, I will go as far as to claiming that the storylien was sort of pointless, because all that this movie was about was showing sexual depravity instilled upon the minds of the young people by the otherworldly being in the forest."Harvest Lake" had adequate special effects, mind you that there wasn't a lot of special effects. The creature in the forest was sort of interesting, but it was marred by having a very low budget appearance to it. So a few more dollars thrown after the special effects department would have done wonders for the movie.What was the toughest part of the movie to get through was the incredibly slow pace that the storyline was presented in. It just trotted on in a very monotonous pace that really had no ups or downs.I managed to sit through "Harvest Lake" to the very end, but I found my focus, attention and interest in the movie hard pressed many times throughout the course of the movie. I was hoping that the movie would pick up and become better as it went along, but that hope was in vain. My rating of "Harvest Lake" ends on a generous 3 out of 10 stars.

ropipgi-581-487166 This is what happens when you start filming a movie with very small budget and without a finished script. The "story" in the movie is enough for the first act, but instead of writing more story they just padded it out with shots of people in the woods looking for other people or just wandering about.All characters are paper thin written with 15 seconds dialogue for some backstory, and that means that we don't care about any of them from the beginning.Not is all bad though, the actors do what they can with the cringe filled dialogue and one of the toughest thing an actor can do is to look comfortable nude next to another nude actor, well they pulled that one off several times.The setting is ( as proved many times before ) really good for a horror , or in this case mystery movie - but this one is far from a finished product.

mhowell-37215 Have you ever watched a movie and asked yourself what was the point? Please don't waste your time watching this movie. 2 hours of my life I cannot get back. It was like watching a porno, but its background story wasn't as good... and it wasn't a porno. IMDb 5 lines of required review text, is too much to ask for this movie.
