Shannon Doherty takes on an army of starved Lampreys
9 May 2020
2016 brought us:... Blood Lake: Attack of the Lampreys. About "starved" Lampreys who scramble to land everywhere to attack Shannon Doherty and a handfull of other brave trouble-seekers just waiting and willing to fall in to a myriad of dangerous plot devices involving aggressive lampreys. If this were made in the 1980s with the right creepy score, atmosphere and dark ambiance, it could've been a classic. But instead we have a tv-grade production that takes place in broad daylight here with cheese ball production quality its more like a glutton of bad cgi & decisions. Watch as our carefully selected heroes fling from one moment of terrifying peril to the next. Works more as an unintentional comedy than it does horror. No real thrills or scares at all. The plot is mostly just silly survival decisions that amounts to unintentional comedy. Watch as a random family (alone?) struggles to cope with aggressive hoards of Cgi lampreys. A paycheck was needed. These characters are clearly ill-prepared to take on such an army of Lampreys. I have to wonder why only this one family are involved in cleaning up this mess. Silly tv grade family movie possibly made for kids based on the style of it. The music screams tv family movie. Odd schlock.
