4.0 out of 5 stars Far more than I expected, May 26, 2009

By	Horror Buff "tigerfannc" (Hickory, NC) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Sam's Lake (DVD)

I sometimes wonder if I'm watching the same movie as some reviewers. This is not a slasher flick, and there's virtually none of the blood or gore that usually comes with it. While there are death scenes, most are not graphic, but this does not distract from the movie at all. In fact, the film almost passes for a major motion picture, from the quality of the camera work, to competent acting and terrific scenery.
The storyline involves a group of young people getting away to a cabin in the quiet countryside, where legend has it a murderer has been been at large since killing his family decades earlier. It does make a nice back story, and sets the tone for a nice twist that I did not see coming that ultimately changes the tone of the movie (in a good way). There is a good deal of suspense and tension, and several scenes are simply delightfully creepy without the presence of any blood, spooks, or demons. This is not visceral horror. Rather, it is that rare treat that uses the actual tale to create a mood. It's a nice change of pace from the torture and mayhem that have passed for thrillers recently.

5.0 out of 5 stars Horror Freak, September 25, 2009

By	Jo Hegedus "horror freak" (Western North Carolina) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: Sam's Lake (DVD)

"Sam's Lake" is a new additon to my huge collection of horror flicks. When I read the reviews on Amazon I new I wanted it & could hardly wait for delivery. It will keep some guessing who the killer is. A short ways into the movie I had my suspicions & I was right. The characters are portrayed as a group of friends who have gone to Sam's Lake for a few days for rest & peace & quiet, away from the hustle & noise of the city life. Things start happening shortly into the movie & continue throughout the entire film until it ends. I think anyone who likes a suspenseful horror movie will appreciate it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very good Thriller From Lion's Gate, April 29, 2009

By	Anthony Richards "Richie Rich" (Wash DC) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Sam's Lake (DVD)

when I saw the art cover I was thinking..ok this is gonna be another low budget movie, but boy was I wrong this was very good movie sure the movie was predictable, and has been done a hundred times, but what makes this one different is that i was extremely creepy, and even gave me a few jumps, and the prduction value was on point..can rival anything in theaters..this aint no low budget looking movies, which is surprising from Lions Gate considering the crap that they put out in the past, and the acting was for the most part excellent...all the charaters were extremey likable, and made you root for them in the end..these ren't a bunch of honey teens going in the woods getting killed...these are 20 someting actors, and they all did an excellent job...so if your in the mood for a very creepy..high budget DTV movie with excellent acting....look no farther Sam's Lake delievers...the only con that I have was that the story moved kinda slow, but that was to build character developement.......Lion's Gate coud have easily put this gem in theaters..with all the crap thats in there now....good job Lion's Gate you have done well with this movie.....excellent!!!...I deffinatly recomend this movie....very creepy
