LAKE FEAR 2 (2015)

[indianasmith]

I was scrolling through movies on Amazon and saw this one for free on Amazon prime; it had a two star rating - prime B-grade horror territory for a bad movie fan - so I decided to give it a watch.
Pretty standard slasher flick at first: Spring Breakers get bored with all the babes and booze on the beach and decide to leave the party scene (Danger, Will Robinson!!) and do an airboat tour of the Everglades and see if they can catch some of the Burmese pythons infesting the area and collect reward money.  Then their friendly old pervert of a tour guide has a heart attack, and the boat won't start, so they take shelter at an old hunting cabin - which just happens to have a working generator, lots of moonshine, and some drugs.  So they forget about the old stiff in the boat and start to party.  That's when you discover the old stiff really isn't stiff at all; he lured them out there and stranded them so his two swamp trash sons can have fun killing them all off.  That is when it degenerates into fairly standard torture porn/slasher flick territory: the catch the college students as they pair off to have sex or just crash for the night and brutally kill them for fun.  Then they get down to the final girl, the one who has been trying to work up the courage to tell her BF that she is pregnant this whole time, and that's where this movie goes off the rails.

Instead of killing her on the spot, they knock her out, tie her naked to an upside down cross, and a bunch of hooded figures cut the tiny fetus from her womb and throw it into the fire, presumably as an offering to Satan.  And then the movie ends.  That's it.

END OF SPOILERS


So this started out as a moderately enjoyable slasher flick with lots of blood, gore, and nudity, and then turned unexpectedly brutal and evil at the end.  I mean, slasher flicks are a grand old genre that no one takes too seriously, but the end of this one left me rattled.

  1/5 unless you are just into Satanic sacrifices.

WOT DE FOK! 

Yeah, that's a movie I'm gonna avoid. Thank you for taking one for the team, Indy.

Thing is, if it hadn't been for the ending, it would have been a fairly typical B-grade slasher flick with lots of nekkid women and inbred hillbilly killers.  That final scene came out of nowhere and just punched you in the gut!!

Thanks for the warning Indy. One to avoid for me.
