I'm a student at UCLA in cinema studies and had to do a thesis on 'indepedant film',since I'm a huge fan of the horror film genre I chose "Lady of the Lake"...it was highly recommended by one of my profs.Visually the film is stunning...considering the 'budget' the director had...special effects are 'mindboggling'...storyline is so-so (but ,hey I've seen worse)and some of the performances are solid (especially Michette who plays the 'deranged next door neighbor'...this guy's performance is a 'hoot').Kudo's to the director Richard Deveraux

The movie was about a guy named David who gets this house after his uncle drowned. The house is near a lake that has been haunted by a ghost of a gypsy witch. The lake has a reputation for people drowning. David eventually meets the lady of the lake. Who is she? And why are people drowning in the lake? Buy the movie today and find out!

This movie was not scary at all! The reason I rented this video was the great special effects the movie supposely had from what the cover said.

Maurice Devereaux is a young independant director from a province of Canada called quebec. He did this movie with almost nothing but it's a good start. The picture is filmed very well, especially in in the underwater scenes. He made what he could with a bunch of actor that are not professionals to begin with. Sometimes the movie makes you think a little bit about Raimi's Evil dead, because of its rythm and its medieval esthetics. It's definetely worth a look, even if this one's not going to become your favorite.

I watched this movie just last night, or at least I tried to...
The acting is terrible, except for the two leads, who weren't too bad. I'm not a big fan of horror, preferring to get my scares through the old-fashioned way where a frightening scene is actually scary, not just bloody.
The underwater scenes, I will admit, were quite good, but that's all the good I can see in this film. As for the rest of it...
I'll just leave this with one more comment about so-called scary movies:
"The scariest movie shows not what you are afraid of, but lets you imagine it and be scared."

I SAW THIS MOVIE AWHILE BACK AND I DIDN'T EXPECT MUCH FROM OF IT...I HAD SEEN THE REVIEW IN " FANGORIA" MAGAZINE AND I THOUGHT WELL IF THEY ARE ADVERTISING IT I'LL GIVE IT A TRY . IT TURNED OUT TO BE A REALLY DECENT MOVIE...THE MAKE-UP WAS EXCELLENT AND I LIKED THE FACT THAT THE MOVIE ACTUALLY HAD A PLOT TO GO ALONG WITH THE SCARES...IT WAS A SCREAM ! [EXCUSE THE PUN]...I LOVED THE ENDING TOO!

I watched Lady of the lake and was very impressed by the overall quality of that production. That movie was also featured on a pay-per-view TV station in Montreal in French and in English. It's great to see a Montrealer having it's own production being sold on Amazon.com. Bonjour de Montréal !
