Picturebook Review: Crazy Lake (2017)

"A B-grade Slasher flick, through and through."

Slasher flicks are a mixed bag. We tend to watch them when we need a quick fix of mindless, exploitative fun, because many of them offer people in various stages of undress behaving badly, and those very same people getting killed off in gruesome ways. 

Most Slasher flicks these days tend to be low-budget; the characters that populate them tend to be unlikable and disposable (save for maybe a cool Final Girl and one decent guy); and they don't often break into original territory... which is pretty much the case here.

As a cheap, fun, 90-minute distraction though, Crazy Lake did the job.

Aside from "A group of twenty-somethings head into the woods to part, and are picked off one by one by a mongoloid maniac", the plot matters little here. What really matters is pictured below.

Crazy Lake breaks absolutely no new ground as far as Slasher flicks go, but it does give us a steady parade of naked and scantily clad women and some messy kills, and it does so pretty well. It was fun enough to be worth a look if you dig cheapo Slashers with plenty of boobs and blood.  

If this is your type of flick, you already know it.

Crazy Lake is available on VOD now.

Sexy Lake.
